Definition
In what year did AFAA develope the first nationally standardized basic exercise guidelines?

Definition
Form whom are AFAAs guidelines for?
Term
AFAAs exercise standards and guidelines reference manual
Definition
For special guidelines refer to the:
Term
Frequency, intensity, time and type
Definition
What is the FITT principle?
Term
Yes, the intensity of the exercise will likely decrease the duration of the exercise session.
Definition
Will one FITT variable affect the other? How? (example)
Term
The principle of overload
Definition
To achieve desired training I prove nets or effect, the body must be overloaded beyond its normal level or present capacities.
Term
Training effect
Definition
Will occur as a result of exercise overload. And will occur If the exercise is sufficient and appropriate in frequency, intensity and time for a given type of exercise.
Term
Principle of progression

4-6 weeks conditioning phase
4-5 months improvement stage
Maintenance thereafter
Definition
For continued improvements an exercise program should increase gradually in frequency, intensity, duration and/or type.

Proper progression = change in overload over time.
Term
Specific adaptation to imposed demands
Definition
What is the SAID principle?
Term
The SAID principle
(principle of specificity)
Definition
The body will adapt to the type of physiological stresses placed on it. In order to improve, the precise movement must be rehearsed.
Term
Reversibility principle

Muscular strength and endurance 2-3 months
Cardio respiratory 2-3 weeks
Definition
Happens if ones training workload is discontinued or decreased and retraining inperformance occurs.
Term
Principle of overtraining
Definition
The body needs time to recover and musculoskeletal system needs time to recover from vigorous exercise. Occurs when training variables utilized do not allow sufficient recovery
Term
1. Cardio respiratory fitness - (aerobic fitness) take in, transport and utilize oxygen during motion
2. Muscular strength and endurance - strength = amount of maximal weight lifted. Endurance = lifting submaximal (lesser weight many times. Also applies to isometric contractions
3. Flexibility - muscle suppleness as well as range of motion available at joints
4. Body composition - fat, fluid,muscle/tissue and bone. Lower body fat lowers risk of heart disease,diabetes and some cancers

5. Reaction time - time required to initiate response to a stimulus
6. Speed - ability to move entire body quickly
Definition
