- a set of physical attributes that allows the body to respond or adapt to the demands and stress of physical effort            

 an isolated behavior selected as the object of a behavior change program

- a lifestyle management process that involves cultivating healthy behaviors and working to overcome unhealthy ones

- the belief in one’s ability to take action and perform a specific task

the figurative “place” a person designates as the source of responsibility for the events of his/her life

  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time frame

 body movement carried out by the skeletal muscles that requires energy

 planned, structured, repetitive, movement intended to improve or maintain physical fitness

 physical capacities that contribute to health: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition

the ability of the body to perform prolonged, large-muscle, dynamic, exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity. It is a central component of fitness that trains the heart and lungs, making them functionally stronger and more efficient.

the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort, Adequate muscular strength is important for performance of daily tasks and body alignment; an increase in muscle mass means a higher rate of metabolism and faster energy use. Maintaining strength and muscle mass is also vital for healthy aging.

 the ability of a muscle to remain contact repeatedly for a long period of time, Important for good posture, injury prevention, and physical tasks

 the ability to move joints through their full range of motion

 the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body, Healthy body composition reduces the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, joint pain, type II diabetes, some types of cancers, and lower back pain

physical capacities that contribute to performance in a sport or an activity: speed, power, agility, balance, coordination, and reaction time

the performance of different types of activities that cause the body to adapt and improve its level of fitness

the training principle that the body adapts to the particular type and amount of stress placed on it

- the training principle that placing increasing amounts of stress on the body causes adaptations that improve physical fitness

the training principle that fitness improvements are lost when demands on the body are lowered

 Limits on adaptability – potential for improvement – of the human body.  Physical training improves fitness for everyone, regardless of heredity.

system that circulates blood through the body; consists of the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system, Transports oxygen, nutrients, and other key substances to the organs and tissues that need them; it also carries waste products to where they can be used or expelled.

 Its role is to pump oxygen-poor blood to the lungs and oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

 the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessles; created by the pumping action of the heart- Systole – Top #; Diastole – Bottom #

-required to fuel vital body functions – to build and break down tissue, contract muscles, conduct nerve impulses, regulate body temperature, etc.

the sum of all the vital processes by which food energy and nutrients are mde available to and used by the body

complex carbohydrate stored principally in the liver and skeletal muscles; the major fuel source during most forms of intense exercise, storage form of glucose

energy source of the cells, The Energy “Currency” of Cells

 the system that supplies energy to muscle cells through the breakdown of muscle stores of glucose and glycogen

 the system that supplies energy to cells through the breakdown of glucose, glycogen, and fats, requires oxygen
