Stress Management Chapter 27 Physical Exercise, Nutrition, and Stress

The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygenated blood to the working muscles for energy metabolism.

The ability to exert a maximal force against a resistance

The ability to sustain repeated contractions over a prolonged period of time.

The ability to use a muscle group throughout its entire range of motion.

Maneuverability and coordination of gross and fine motor movements.

Force times distance over time.

The ability to maintain equilibrium in motion.

Physical work done in the absence of oxygen; activity that is powerful and quick but does not last more than a few minutes. (e.g., weightlifting)

Chemical compound in muscles that produce energy (anaerobically) for muscle contraction.

A by-product of the breakdown of ATP, which can also be used as a source of energy (anaerobic).

Rhythmic physical work using a steady supply of oxygen delivered to working muscles for a continuous period of not less than 20 minutes (e.g., jogging).

The parasympathetic effect of relaxation (homeostasis) after physical exercise.  Typically the response is such that parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure dip below pre-exercise levels.

A principle of exercise that states that to benefit from physical training, you must have the right intensity, frequency, and duration for each component of fitness challenged.

The number of exercise sessions per week; the ideal number is three.

The physical challenge (stress) placed on a specific physiological system for exercise.

The ideal heart rate or target zone in which to identify the intensity of cardiovascular activity.

The number of minutes of exercise in one; the ideal number is 30 minutes in the target zone, not including a warm-up or cool-down.

The type of activity one chooses to engage in to work one or more physiological systems (e.g., walking, jogging, cycling).

Warm-up, stimulus period (target zone), and cool-down.

The first phase of the workout, during which circulation is increased to the large muscles with some time for flexibility.

Called the "meat" of the workout, during which one targets the specified intensity toward heart, lungs, and muscles (e.g., heart rate, sets, reps for weight lifting).

A designated time right after the stimulus period to decrease circulation to the body's periphery and return to a resting state.

The euphoric feeling generated from beta-endorphins released from cardiovascular exercise.

Chronic knee pain, typically from excessive running and improper foot placement.

a flowing together of two or more streams, rivers, or the like:the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.their place of junction:St. Louis is at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.a body of water formed by the flowing together of two or more streams, rivers, or the like.a coming together of people or things; concourse.a crowd or throng; assemblage.

Highly active oxygen molecules with an aberrant electron that can cause damage to cell membranes and DNA.

departing from the right, normal, or usual course.deviating from the ordinary, usual, or normal type; exceptional; abnormal.

an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production

a specialized part of a cell having some specific function; a cell organ.

to restrain, hinder, arrest, or check (an action, impulse, etc.).to prohibit; forbid.Psychology. to consciously or unconsciously suppress or restrain (psychologically or sociologically unacceptable behavior).Chemistry. to decrease the rate of action of or stop (a chemical reaction)

Processed pills containing various vitamins (e.g., A, B complex, C, E).

The active ingredient in caffeine, which triggers a sympathetic response.

Nonnutrients found in foods (fruits and vegetables) that contain antioxidants and seem to provide a means of fighting cancer and other illnesses.  Bioflavonoids provide the colors in food.
