Progression

Reversibility

Definition

The concept that only the body systems worked during training will show adaptations

Refers to the variable nature of physical activity dose-response or adaptations in different persons

A gradual increase as a result of overload adaptations in body systems

The concept that training adaptations will revert toward initial levels when training is stopped

Term
stress
Definition
a term used to describe a physical, social, or psychological event or circumstance that disturbs the body's "normal" state and to which the body must try to adapt. Also used to describe the distrubed physical or emotional state experienced as a result of such events/circumstances.

Pros and Cons of Machine Weights
Definition

Pros: safe and less intimidating for beginners

Quicker to set up and use

Spotters not usually needed

Support of standing posture not needed

Adaptable for those with limitations

Variable resistance is possible

Good isolation of specific muscle gropus

Only good option for some muscle groups

Cons: Machine sets range of motion

May not fit every body size and type

some people lack access to weight machines

core posture supporting muscles not used

limited number of exercises/machines

Term
Pros and Cons of Free Weights
Definition

Pros: Can be tailored for individual workouts

Range of motion set by lifter, not machine

Some exercises can be done anywhere

Standing and sitting postural muscles worked

Movements can transfer to daily activities

Good for strength and power building

additional stablizer muscles worked

lower cost and more available for home use

Cons: more difficult to learn

a spotter may be needed

incorrect form may lead to injuries

more time may be needed to change weights

more training needed to create program

Term
Benefits of flexibility
Definition

Improved mobility, posture, and balance

Healthy joints and pain  management

Muscle relaxation and stress relief

Possible reduction of lower back pain

Term
Types of stretching
Definition

Static: stretching characterized by slow and sustained muscle lengthening

Dynamic flexibility: stretching characterized by controlled, full range-of-motion movements that micic exercise session movements

Ballistic: stretching characterized by bouncing, jerky movements and momentum to increase range of motion

PNF: stretching that is facilitated or enhanced by the voluntary contraction of the targed muscle group or contraction of opposing muscles

use FITT for stretching

Term
Most accurate way of measuring weight and wellness
Definition
Underwater weighing
Term
