____ is defined as the maximum force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group against a
resistance - ANSWER muscular strength
, what type of stretching activates the muscle spindles, specialized receptors in the muscle that monitor
muscle length change and the speed of muscle length change? - ANSWER ballistic stretching
name the six skill-related components of fitness - ANSWER balance, coordination, speed, power, agility,
and reaction time
what is the difference between maximal heart rate and heart rate reserve - ANSWER maximal heart rate
is the highest heart rate a person can achieve. it is measured with a max HR test or estimated with 220-
age. Heart rate reserve is your maximal HR minus your resting heart rate.
how does compression lower your heart rate in the water? - ANSWER water compresses all the body
systems, including the vascular system, causing a smaller venous load to the heart, reducing heart rate.
what is the ACSM (2018) recommended frequency for resistance training? - ANSWER two to three
days/week for each major muscle group
define body composition - ANSWER the body's relative percentage of fat as compared to lean tissue
(bones, muscles, and organs)
list five benefits of regular exercise - ANSWER improves physical appearance, increases functional
capacity, heart becomes stronger, strengthens the walls of the blood vessels, improves strength and
endurance,
when calculating exercise intensity, a popular method is the Karvonen Formula, which is also known as
the ____ - ANSWER Heart Rate Reserve method
____ is a subjective method of assessing effort, strain, discomfort, and fatigue experienced during
exercise. - ANSWER rating of perceived exertion
The skeletal system provides our bodies with support, protection, and _____. - ANSWER Structure
