2. Hormone that makes you feel hungry






3. The fat that your body needs to function. Regulation - 5% males 10% females - is necessary for temperature regulation - shock absorption and the regulation of essential nutrients - including vitamins ADEK.






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






5. One advantage of ___________ over machines is that they work muscles other than the ones you are targeting in your exercise






6. Carbohydrates - fat and protein.






7. What are the 2 components of muscle fitness






8. Book suggests doing resistance exercises slowly - How many seconds do they suggest for concentric contractions






9. Type of muscle contraction in which the muscle changes length - either shortening (concentrically) or lengthening (eccentrically)






10. Cant make them in our body - good for our brain - liver and kidney reduce growth sunflower - soy beans - and corn






11. Needed in relatively large amounts; calcium - phosphorous - sulfur - potassium - magnesium - sodium and chloride. Needed for muscle contraction - blood pressure maintenance - blood clotting and bone maintenance. (what they do - come from)






12. Zinc - it is a component of every living cell - it is used for enzyme reactions - blood clotting - taste - vision - wound healing. good immune system function - maybe that is covered under - good sources are oysters - red meat - and poultry. skip cop






13. Damages the kidneys-body has to process more nitrogen - leaches calcium from bones only from meat - environmental costs/ effects






14. Hardening of the arteries due to conditions that cause the arterial walls to become thick - hard and nonelastic.






15. Muscle fitness (endurance and strength) - cardiovascular - flexibility and body composition






16. Based on the principle of rest and recovery how long should you rest a muscle group before doing serious resistance training on that muscle group again.






17. Left Ventricle - aorta - small blood vessels - capillaries - veins - right atrium - right ventricle - left atrium - left ventricle






18. Women 8 cups and men 12 cups






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






20. PRE strengthens your muscles - and it also strengthens something else. What is that






21. Which is the top number diastolic or systolic.






22. Lower back and lower abdominal muscles






23. Which kind of exercise involves muscle shortening but not muscle lengthening






24. What are minerals mostly made from






25. What are proteins made of






26. Stretches but then comes back to its original state like a rubber band






27. The oxygen-carrying protein (molecule) of red blood cells






28. If you are using the HIT method of training you would normally do How many repetitions per set






29. Bring your arms into you closer pinching your sides - bring arms in the shape of a diamond






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






31. Body fat that is located in the core of the body - also known as central fat. located in the abdominal cavity as opposed to subcutaneous dangers are heart disease - stroke - breast cancer - type 2 diabetes.






32. Cancer prevention - high blood pressure - heart disease - prevent stroke -prevents obesity - increases brain function -helps prevent depression






33. Contain all of the essential amino acids - along with most of the others. examples are meat - dairy products - and fish






34. Magnesium - only need 1 oz or less - compared with 3lbs of calcium - but it is needed for over 300 chemical reactions that keep us alive. more than half our magnesium is in our bones - Calcium gives bones strength; magnesium gives bones elasticity -






35. Percentage of protein for diet






36. Specific - Measurable - Attainable - Relevant - Timely






37. Percentage of fat in diet






38. How many amino acids are there






39. Tends to deteriorate with age - and this is partly due to corresponding declines in muscle strength - range of motion - and a lower ability to coordinate muscle movements.






40. 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)






41. When doing an isotonic exercise - should you breathe in on the effort - or out on the effort.






42. Not regulated by FDA (food and drug administration) can make any claims - spend $ - no benefit - may be bad for you.






43. Kinds of Vegetarians






44. Consuming calories in amounts equal to the number of calories expended. individuals who want to increase lean body mass need to increase caloric intake while carefully increasing the intensity and duration of their physical activity.






45. In metabolic syndrome high blood pressure is what over what






46. Percentage carbs in diet






47. Isotonic muscle contractions in which the muscle gets longer as it contracts that is - when a weight is gradually lowered and the contracting muscle gets longer as it gives up tension. also called negative exercise.






48. Also is Stages of Change; 1. Precontemplation - not considering stopping 2. Contemplation - considering stopping3. Preparation - looking for programs 4. Action - makes a change 5. Maintenance - keep the change for 6 months
