How well a task is completed
Power
The ability to do strength performances quickly. POWER = STRENGTH X SPEED
Progressive overload
Start slowly and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do
Reaction time
the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of movement
Reversibility
any adaptation that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training
R.I.C.E
Soft issue injury treatment
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
Specificity
you must do specific kinds of exercise to build specific body parts
Speed
the differential rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement a cover a distance in a period of time
Stroke volume
the volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one pump
Tidal volume
the amount of air breathed in or out of the lungs in one normal breath
Training
