Define cardiovascular endurance

The ability of the heart to pump oxygenated blood to the working muscles to avoid fatigue over a period of exercise

5 of 22

Define muscular strength

the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance.

6 of 22

Define muscular endurance

the ability to use voluntary muscles many times without becoming tired

7 of 22

Define flexibility

the range of movement possible at a joint.

8 of 22

Define body composition

the percentage of body weight which is fat, muscle or bone.

9 of 22

Define speed

is the differential rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time or how quickly an individual can move

10 of 22

Define agility

the ability to change the position of the body quickly and with control

11 of 22

Define balance

the ability to retain the centre of mass above the base of support when stationary (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance).

12 of 22

Define coordination

the ability to use two or more body parts together.

13 of 22

Define powerd

the ability to use strength at speed

14 of 22

define reaction time

the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement.

15 of 22

define circuit training

involves performing a series of exercises in a special order called a circuit. Each activity takes place at a 'station'. It can be designed to improve speed, agility, coordination, balance and muscular endurance.

16 of 22

define continuous training

involves working for a sustained period of time without rest. It improves cardio-vascular fitness.

17 of 22

define cross-training

involves using another sport or activity to improve your fitness. It happens when an athlete trains in a different environment. For example a volleyball player uses the power training for that sport to help with fitness for long jump.

define fartlek training

involves varying your speed and the type of terrain over which you run, walk, cycle or ski. It improves aerobic and anaerobic fitness.

19 of 22

define interval training

involves alternating between periods of hard exercise and rest. It improves speed and muscular endurance.

20 of 22

define weight training

uses weights to provide resistance to the muscles. It improves muscular strength (high weight, low reps), muscular endurance (low weight, high reps, many sets) and power (medium weight and reps performed quickly).

21 of 22
