Across
- 2. The maximum amount of force a muscle can exert
- 5. The heaviest weight you can lift for exactly one repetition of an exercise with proper form.
- 8. Exercise equipment that uses a fixed path or pulley system to guide the movement and provide resistance.
- 9. The gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training.
- 10. Moving through a series of different exercises (stations) with minimal rest until the "circuit" is complete.
- 13. Any form of exercise that causes your muscles to contract against an external resistance.
- 15. An increase in the size of muscle cells, usually achieved through specific resistance training.
- 16. Exercises that use the individual's own weight to provide resistance against gravity.
- 17. The wasting away or decrease in size of muscle tissue, often due to lack of physical activity or injury.
- 18. The phase of an exercise where the muscle lengthens under tension.
- 19. One complete motion of a single exercise (e.g., one bicep curl).
Down
- 1. Training where the muscle changes length while moving a constant load.
- 3. The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a force for an extended period of time without tiring.
- 4. Performing two different exercises back-to-back with little to no rest in between.
- 6. The time spent recovering between sets or exercises to allow the body to replenish energy.
- 7. Training where the muscle changes length while moving a constant load.
- 11. The strength of the muscles in your torso (abs, obliques, lower back, and pelvis) which stabilize the spine and provide a foundation for movement.
- 12. The phase of an exercise where the muscle shortens while generating force.
- 14. A group of consecutive repetitions
