exercise correct answers a physical activity that you plan, structure, and repeat for the purpose of
conditioning your body to improve health and maintain fitness
cardio-respiratory fitness correct answers the ability of the heart and blood vessels to efficiently
circulate blood throughout the body (eg. Walking, jogging, running, swimming); measured by
V02 Max or maximal oxygen uptake test
VO2 max correct answers the maximum amount of oxygen a person is able to use during intense
"maximal" exercise; measured as milliliters of oxygen used in 1 minutes per kg of body weight
-the more oxygen you use during high-level exercise, more energy you can produce
-genetics, age, gender influence V02 Max
-average for sedentary adult is 36 ml/kg/minute
-for average person, aerobic exercise means working out strenuously without pushing ot V02
Max or breathlessness
muscular fitness correct answers the amount of strength and level of endurance in body's muscles
(2 parts: strength and endurance)
muscular strength correct answers the force within muscles; measured by max weight a person
can lift, push, press in one effort
-stronger muscles help with alignment, posture, back/leg aches, everyday lifting and movements,
sports
-muscle mass increases with strength = healthier body composition and higher metabolism
muscular endurance correct answers the ability to perform repeated muscular effort, measured by
how many times a person can lift, push, press a given weight
-helps with posture and everyday movement, sports
flexibility correct answers range of motion around specific joints; depends on age, sex, posture,
how muscular you are, how much body fat you have)
-determined by length of muscles, tendons, ligaments attached to the joints
-flexibility increases in childhood until adolescence, then gradual loss into adulthood
body composition correct answers relative amounts of fat and lean tissue in body
physical conditioning correct answers gradual building up of body to enhance cardiorespiratory
or aerobic fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility; healthy body composition
functional fitness correct answers the performance of daily activities and exercises that mimic
job tasks and everyday movements; can improve balance, coordination, strength, endurance
sport correct answers planned, structured, and competitive leisure time activities
, agility correct answers the ability to change body position and direction quickly and efficiently;
agility tests include running forward and backward and performing crossover steps
balance correct answers body's ability to maintaining equilibrium; necessary for day-to-day life
and sports

more efficient

mortality; exercise slows aging, those who exercise live longer, on average
-lower risk of cancer
-lower risk of type 2 diabetes
-lowers weight
Recommended 150 minutes of moderate activity per week correct answers What are Canadian
Physical Activity Guidelines for adults currently?
overload principle correct answers providing greater stress on body than it is used to handling; to
increase strength, a muscle has to exert more effort than usual, to improve, a gradual increase in
intensity needed
progressie overloading correct answers gradually increasing challenges once body adapts, to
produce max benefits
-overloading specific to each body part and each component of fitness
-improve cardiovascular by walking, running with more intensity, or for longer
-improve strength by overloading specific muscles
