41. The end product of protein metabolism.






42. Insufficient oxygen flow to the tissues.






43. A rhythm disturbance in the heart; also known as dysrhythmia.






44. A form of exercise where the hands (for arm exercises) or feet (for leg exercises) are in a fixed position and do not move. Examples arm body exercise are push-ups and pull-ups. Examples of leg exercises are leg press - squats - and lunges.






45. The maximal amount of force that can be generated with one maximal effort; also called 1 RM






46. A class of drugs used for treating angina pectoris.






47. A contraction during which tension is produced - but no movement occurs.






48. A chronic elevation of arterial blood pressure which is a primary risk factor for CAD and stroke; any resting value consistently greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg is considered a hypertensive value. (Hypertension)
