Term
respiratory system
Definition
the body system responsible for the exchange of gases btwn the body and the air
Term
cardiovascular system
Definition
the body system responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and the delivery of CO2 and other wastes back to the heart and lungs
Term
respiration
Definition
the exchange of gases in the lungs or in the tissues
Term
atria

pulmonary artery
Definition
the artery that carries blood fm the right ventricle to the lungs
Term
aorta
Definition
the artery that carries blood fm the lft ventricle to the rest of the body
Term
systole
Definition
the contraction phase of the heart cycle
Term
diastole
Definition
the relaxation phase of the heart cycle
Term
heart rate
Definition
the number of beats of the heart in one minute
Term
arteries
Definition
high pressured blood vessels that carry blood away fm the heart to the lungs or cells
Term
veins
Definition
low pressured blood vessels that carry blood fm the cells or lungs back to the heart
Term
blood pressure
Definition
the pressure that blood in the arteries exerts on the arterial walls
Term
systolic blood pressure
Definition
blood pressure during the systole phase of the heart cycle
Term
diastolic blood pressure
Definition
blood pressure during the diastole phase of the heart cycle
Term
ATP
Definition
adenosine triphosphate; the cullular form of energy
Term
creatine phosphate
Definition
a molecule that is store in muscle cells and used in the immediate energy system to donate a phosphate to make ATP
Term
anaerobic
Definition
w/o oxygen

(nooxidative)
Term
lactic acid
Definition
an end product of the nonoxidative breakdown of glucose that can increase acidity in muscles and the blood and contribute to muscular fatigue

Definition
cellular structures where oxidative energy prodictopm takes place
Term
homeostasis
Definition
a stable, constant internal environment
Term
cardiac output
Definition
the volume of blood ejected fm the heaart in one minute, expressed in liters or milliliters per minute

metabolic syndrome
Definition
a clustering of 3 or more heart disease and diabetes risk factors in one person (HBP, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, decreased HDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, overweight w/ fat mostly around the waist
Term
resting heart rate
Definition
the number of times ur heart beats in a minute while the body is @ rest; typically 50-90 bpm
Term
pulse
Definition
the pressure wave felt in the arteries due to blood ejection w/ ech heartbeat
Term
macimal oxygen consumption
(VO2max)
Definition
the highest rate of oxygen consumption ur body is capable of during maximal exercise; expressed in eith liters per minute (L/min)or milliliters per kilogram of body weight (ml/kg-min)
Term
maximal heart rate

(HRmax)
Definition
the highest heart rate you can achieve during maximal exercise
Term
interval workout
Definition
a work out that alternates periods of higher intensity exercise w/ periods of lower intensity exercise or rest
Term
circuit training workout
Definition
a workout where exercisers move fm one exercisestation to another aftr a certain number of reps or amt of time
Term
perceived exertion
Definition
a subjective assessment of exercise intensity
Term
talk test
Definition
a method of measuring exercise intensity based on assessing ur ability to speak during exercise
Term
target heart rate
Definition
the heart rate you are aiming for during an exercise session; often a range w/ high and low heart rates called ur training zone
Term
heart rate reserve
Definition
the number of beats per minute available or in reserve for exercise heart rate increases, maximak heart rate minus resting heart rate
Term
cross-training
Definition
the practice of using different exercise modes or types in ur cardiorespiratory training program
Term
warm up
Definition
the initial 5-10 min prep phase of a workout
Term
cool down
Definition
the ending phase of a worout where the body is brought gradually back to rest
Term

a core body temp of 104, headache,nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rapid pulse, cessation of sweating and disorientation resulting fm extreme exertion in very hot conditions
Term
hypothermia
Definition
a condition where the core temp of the body drops below the level required for sustaining normal bodily functions
Term
dehydration
Definition
a process that leads to a lack of sufficient fluid in the body, affecting normal body functions
Term
