Across
  1. 3. ability to bend/stretch without breaking/tearing, and can be measured with a set of flexibility tests
  2. 6. a variety of diagnostic tests that produce images to help detect potential health problems (include x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, CATSCAN, EKG, EEG, etc.)
  3. 7. assesses lung function by measuring how much air you inhale and exhale, and how fast you exhale
  4. 10. variety of tests that detect amounts of substances in the bloodstream (electrolytes, cholesterol, RBCs, WBCs, platelets, etc.)
  5. 12. amount of glucose, or sugar, in your bloodstream
  6. 14. the measurement from base to top (of a standing person) or from head to foot
  7. 15. amount of oxygen in the bloodstream readily available to tissues
  8. 16. amount of force produced with a single maximal effort; can be measured by determining a 1 rep max
  9. 17. these studies can be conducted to help determine the effectiveness of your sleep cycles, oxygen uptake, and sleep/wake time
Down
  1. 1. the proportion of fat and non-fat mass throughout the body
  2. 2. ability of circulatory and respiratory systems to efficiently and effectively deliver oxygen to muscles during sustained physical activity; can be measured with V02 max tests, metabolic equivalents (METs), submaximal exercise tests
  3. 4. ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time; can be measured by performing repetitions to fatigue
  4. 5. the force with which an object is pulled toward the earth
  5. 8. number of heart beats per a specified period of time (usually per minute)
  6. 9. the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels
  7. 11. number of breaths per a specified period of time (usually per minute)
  8. 13. the amount of force produced during a single grip; can be measured with a handheld dynamometer
