This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The muscle's ability to exert maximal force- developed by 6-10 reps






2. Involves holding a position- stretch to your farthest position and hold it.






3. Increasing joint angle






4. Movement matches this during the activity or sport






5. Normal BMI






6. Opposite gluteus medius






7. Refers to a person's ability o efficiently perform dynamic - moderate-to-high intensity exercises for prolonged periods.






8. The muscle's ability to repeatedly produce a movement or perform exertions many times- developed with lighter weights and more reps aka 12-15






9. Refers to being thankful to the pleasures that your body provides






10. Less than 60% 1RM; 20-25 reps; 3-6 sets; 1-2 mins recovery






11. More than 80% 1RM; 3-5 reps; 3-6 sets; 3-4 mins recovery






12. Close to the body's surface






13. Without oxygen






14. Occurs when force is produced as a muscle lengthens - increasing joint angles while movement is toward gravity ie lowing a weight with control






15. Aerobic that has a duration of over 5 mins






16. Primary muscle mover






17. Performing dynamic - sustained activities that use large muscle groups such as running - cycling - walking - group exercise classes...






18. Works by exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs and delivering blood containing oxygen to the working muscles






19. Refers to listening and responding to internal cues






20. Turning the foot outward






21. Refers to a person's ability o efficiently perform dynamic - moderate-to-high intensity exercises for prolonged periods.






22. Anaerobic with a duration of 1-20 sec






23. Ex of this joint: fore arm






24. Fat loss






25. Use the joint full range of motion while maintaining a soft bend in both elbows and knees to protect against hyperextension; the key to effectively working the muscle group desired






26. How often stretches should be done.






27. Carries blood away from the heart






28. Both the agonist and antagonist must be worked equally to avoid muscle imbalances. Muscle imbalances may lead to an increased risk of injury

37. One side






38. Movement away from midline

45. Ex of this joint: shoulder and hips






46. 60-80% 1RM; 8-12 reps; 3-6 sets; 2-3 mins recovery






47. Produces force - yet no change in the muscle length occurs ie pushing against immovable objects






48. Movement matches this during the activity or sport






49. Is identical or greater than encountered during the activity






50. Stress body more than it's used to in order for it to change
