Biological adaptions hypothesis
Definition
Increased physical functioning and more
efficient metabolism improves all the systems
of the body including those that regulate mood.
Body warms up better

– Increased brain blood flow
– Increased endorphins
– More efficient regulation of stress hormones
(these exercise-induced biochemical changes generate reduced arousal and enhanced mood, which may be accompanied by enhanced recovery time)

Definition

-power
-balance
Definition

time.
• Flexibility:
– ability to use a muscle group throughout its entire range of motion.
