Exercise physiology
|
Exercise Physiology is a discipline involving the study of how exercise alters the structure and function of the human body.
|
Optimum fitness
|
Optimal level of cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility, as well as the achievement and maintenance of ideal body weight.
|
Muscular strength
|
Is the max. Amount of force a muscle or muscle group can develop during a single contraction.
Muscular endurance p. 2 is the number of repeated
|
Muscular endurance
|
Number of repeated contractions a muscle or muscle group can perform against a resistance without fatiguing,
|
Cardiac output
|
5 is the amount of blood that flows from each ventricle in one min. usually expressed in liters of blood per min.
|
Heart rate
|
Monitoring a target heart rate provides an excellent indication of correct exercise intensity
|
Stroke volume
|
The amount of blood pumped from each ventricle each time the heart beats from the left ventricle during one heartbeat.
|
Ejection fraction
|
The percentage of the total volume of blood that is pumped out of the left ventricle during the systolic contraction
|
Oxygen extraction
|
The amount of oxygen taken from hemoglobin molecule and used in exercising muscle cells, often referred to as the arteriovenous oxygen difference
|
Adenosine triphoshate
|
Is the body’s energy source, just as gas is the energy source in the car.
|
Statement
