Adduction - answer Movement of a body part towards the central axis of the body.
Aerobic - answer In the presence of oxygen.
Anaerobic Threshold - answer High intensity activities during which energy demands
exceed the ability to supply oxygen and cannot be performed for a long period of time.
Antagonist - answer Used to describe a muscle that acts in opposition to the specific
movement generated by the agonist.

energy
production, making it anaerobic in nature, good for
short and powerful activities
