1. A fatty - waxy substance that is needed by the body for a variety of functions. Abnormal blood cholesterol is a primary risk factor for CAD.






2. Without symptoms.






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






4. A muscle contraction where the muscle shortens as it performs work.






5. Hormones which promote muscle hypertrophy and have severe health consequences.






6. A fatty acid with no double bonds and generally a solid at room temperature - saturated fat is found primarily in animal products and is a major factor in CAD risk.






7. A graded exercise test to exhaustion - during which the ECG and blood pressure responses are carefully monitored. The purpose of a maximal treadmill exercise test is to determine cardiorespiratory fitness level and/or diagnose coronary artery disease






8. A molecule that is a combination of protein and lipid; are the transporters of cholesterol in the bloodstream.






9. A bundle of muscle fibers.






10. The maximal amount of oxygen that the body can utilize per kilogram of body weight per minute. Also called max VO2 - VO2 max - cardiorespiratory fitness level - aerobic power. (Aerobic Power)






11. Also known as coronary artery disease.






12. Decrease in a joint angle.






13. A principle artery in both sides of the neck.






14. Failing to do something that should have been done.






15. 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.






16. The arteries which supply the heart muscle with oxygen.






17. 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. (High Blood Pressure)






18. Salts of the body such as sodium - potassium - magnesium - calcium and chloride.






19. An indicator of dysfunction - illness - or disease that can be felt but not seen.






20. A method for determining target heart rate.






21. Relating to the heart and blood vessels






22. The fastest heart rate possible under normal maximal exercise conditions. Can be estimated by using the formula 220-age or by using other formulas.






23. A narrowing of a blood vessel resulting from sympathetic nervous system stimulation.






24. Taking steps to begin to change a behavior.






25. A method of assessing body composition - also referred to as underwater weighing.






26. A fatty acid which contains many double bonds - i.e. - safflower oil.






27. A very large lipoprotein composed mainly of triglycerides; most of the cholesterol produced by the liver is VLDL - but it is usually converted to LDL or HDL very quickly throughout the body.






28. One of the major proteins found in all muscle tissue.






29. An indicator of dysfunction or disease that can be seen with the naked eye.






30. A fibrous tissue that binds together and supports the structures of the body. See fascia - ligament - tendon.






31. Elevated blood lipid levels.






32. A hormone secreted by the interstitial cells of the testes.






33. Decrease in a joint angle.






34. A nerve cell and all of the muscle fibers it enervates.






35. Performing a target behavior on a regular basis for more than six months.






36. An exercise movement performed one time.






37. BMI = 30; or waist circumference > 35 inches (female) - >40 inches (male).






38. The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen.






39. A myth which says that fat can be reduced from one specific area of the body through a specific exercise.






40. Also called adult-onset diabetes; a diabetic condition often caused by obesity and sedentary lifestyle.






41. The minimum energy required to maintain the body's life functions at rest.






42. A device used to measure work output.






43. Inflammation of the joints.






44. A muscle contraction against a resistance where movement occurs at a constant velocity.






45. Hardening of the arteries.






46. Divides the body into top and bottom halves.






47. A condition where oxygen demand exceeds oxygen supply; often a cause of angina.






48. The minimum energy required to maintain the body's life functions at rest.






49. The force that blood exerts on the walls of the arteries.






50. Length of time.
