Exercise Physiology

2. Tough fibrous tissue attaching muscles to bones.
3. Pain killer e.g. aspirin.
5. Excessive loss of water, during exercise mainly as a result of sweating
7. The amount of blood in dm3 (litres), pumped by the heart per minute, a function of heart rate and stroke volume.
8. High blood pressure.
9. The force that a muscle can exert in one maximal effort.
10. Resting heart rate slower than average
12. The volume of air left in the lungs after a forced maximal expiration.
15. Work performed per unit time = power.

1. That part of the body containing the viscera, ie the kidneys, liver, stomach, and intestines; separated from the thorax by the diaphragm
4. Contraction of a muscle during which the force of resistance to the movement remains constant throughout the range of motion.
6. Substances that dissociate into ions in solution (ionize). See inorganic ions/mineral salts.
11. They have a contraction speed 2-3 times faster than slow-twitch fibres, and are capable of producing more power than slow twitch fibres.
13. "Thickness" of a fluid or "ease of flow"
14. All the chemical processes involved in maintaining life.
