Term
general adaption syndrome
Definition
the kinetic chain's ability to adapt to stresses placed on it.
Term
alarm reaction
Definition
the alarm reaction is the initial reaction to a stressor.
Term
resistance development
Definition
the body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.
Term
resistance development
Definition
the body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.
Term
exhaustion
Definition
prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system.
Term
periodization
Definition
division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages.
Term
principle of specificity or specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID principle)
Definition
Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it.
Term
mechanical specificity
Definition
refers to the weight and movements placed on the body.
Term
neuromuscular specificity
Definition
refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.
Term
metabolic specficity
Definition
refers to the energy demand placed on the body.
Term
strength
Definition
the ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external force.
Term
muscular endurance
Definition
the ability of the body to produce low levels of force and maintain them for extended periods.
Term
stability
Definition
the ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movements
Term
strength endurance
Definition
the ability of the body to produce low levels of force and maintain them for extended periods.
Term
stability
Definition
the ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movement.
Term
strength endurance
Definition
the ability of the body to repeatedly produce high levels of force for prolonged periods.
Term
hypertrophy
Definition
enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension.
Term
maximal strength
Definition
the maximum force that a muscle can produce in a single, voluntary effort, regardless of velocity.
Term
power
Definition
ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force int he shortest time.
Term
vertical loading
Definition
alternating body parts trained from set to set, starting form the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity.
Term
horizontal loading
Definition
performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part.
