-
The cumulative sensory input ti the central nervous system from all mechanorecptors that sense body position and limb movement
Proprioception
-
An unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Proprioceptively enriched environment
-
How quickly a muscle can generate force
Rate of force production
-
The muscle that acts as the main source of motive movement
Prime mover
-
Sets of 2 exercises that are performed back-to-back without any rest time between them
Superset
-
The ability of the body's nerves to effectively send mesages to the body's muscles
Neuromuscular efficiency
-
Primary connective tissue that connects bones together and provides stability, input to the nervous system, guidance, and the limitation of improper joint movement
Ligament
-
Connective tissues that attach muscle to bone and provide an anchor for muscles to produce force
Tendons
-
The superior chamber of the heart that recieves blood from the veins and forces it into the ventricles
Atrium
-
The inferior chamber of the heart that recieves blood from its corresponding atrium and, in turn forces blood into the arteries
Ventricle
-
High-intensity, short-duration activity (heavy weight training, sprinting)
Anaerobic Training
-
Lower intensity, longer duration activity (walking)
Aerobic
-
Moving in the same direction as the resistance
Decelerates or reduces force
Lengthening of the muscle
Eccentric
-
No visible movement with or against resistnace
Dynamically stabilizes force
Isometric
-
Moving in opposite direction of force
Accelerates or produces force
Shortening of the muscle
Concentric
