Across
- 2. Muscle shortens (lifting phase)
- 4. the decrease in muscle mass and strength, often caused by lack of use, aging, poor nutrition habits, or disease.
- 5. It represents 100% of an individual's strength for that movement
- 6. the increase in muscle cell size and mass, usually driven by resistance training and protein synthesis, leading to greater strength
- 7. 3 sets of 10 reps means doing 10 reps, resting, repeating this 3 times.
- 9. Examples: dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells
- 10. Stations targeting various muscle groups with minimal rest in between
- 11. Machine weight exercises isolate specific muscles, offering higher stability and safety for beginners
- 15. Increased stamina
- 17. By gradually increasing training demands over time, this principle prevents performance plateaus and forces muscles to adapt and grow.
- 18. Exercises that make muscles work against a force (weights, bands, bodyweight)
- 19. involve static tension without joint movement
Down
- 1. Muscle lengthens (lowering phase)
- 3. Examples include: push-ups, squats, planks, and lunges
- 8. Rest intervals between sets are dictated by training intensity and goals
- 11. Injury prevention
- 12. ideal for building muscle size and functional strength through a range of motion
- 13. Strength of muscles in your abdomen and lower back
- 14. Usually targeting opposing muscle groups muscle groups with minimal rest in between
- 16. The number of times you perform a specific exercise movement without stopping
