2. Ability of muscles to exert themselves repeatedly. A fit person can repeat movements for a long period without undue fatigue.






3. Upper blood pressure number - often called working blood pressure. it represents the pressure in the arteries at its highest level just after the heart beats






4. 5-8 strength ( More weights less reps) 8-12 general fitness (HIT enough weight to fatigue the muscles) 12-25 endurance (less weight more reps)






5. Monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats that are usually liquid at room temperature and come primarily from vegetable sources.






6. Vitamins - minerals and water

10. Important for bone information and metabolism






11. Is considered to be the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness - and aerobic physically activity is the preferred method for achieving it






12. increase heart rate - increase breathing rate - redistribution of blood skeletal muscles - improved oxygen uptake






13. Slow twitch (Type I)fast twitch (Type IIb) intermediate Twitch (Type IIa)

19. Helps assess the intensity of aerobic physical activity. scale ranges from 6 (very very light) to 20 (very very hard) and has 1-point increments in between. can also be used to define target zone for exercise intensity






20. Vegetarians who include dairy and eggs in thier diet. they do not have the same concerns as vegans -






21. Sulfur 4th most abundant mineral in the body. there is no recommended in take amount for sulfur - because it is found in protein - as long as you meet your daily requirement for protein you will get enough sulfur

30. back pain -core strength -weight control (for every 2 lbs of muscle the body can burn more calories)






31. The range of motion available in a joint. It is affected by muscle length - joint structure and other factors. A fit person can move the body joints through a full range of motion in work and in play .






32. Type of muscle contraction in which the muscle remains the same length. Also known as static contraction.






33. DOMS






34. Static - ballistic - PNF - and Range of Motion






35. Lowers LDL but does not lower HDL. sources can be olive oil - olives - avacado - seeds and nuts.
