3. A decrease in the size of a body part - organ - tissue - or cell.






4. Moving the foot downward - point the toes.






5. The end product of protein metabolism.

7. Connective tissue which surrounds muscles and various organs of the body.






8. A bundle of muscle fibers.






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






10. Thinking about changing a behavior.






11. Of or relating to the thigh.






12. Movement toward the mid-line of the body.






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

15. Divides the body into front and back halves.






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






17. A simple sugar which is the primary end product of carbohydrate digestion - a prime energy source for the body.

25. The pressure in the arteries while the heart is contracting.






26. Heart attack; death of a portion of the heart muscle due to lack of oxygen supply.

28. The maximal amount of air that can be exhaled following a maximal inhalation.






29. 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






30. An exercise movement performed one time.






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






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






33. The process by which fatty acids are broken down to make acetyl CO-A - which then enters the Krebs Cycle.






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






35. Tiny protein strands which make up muscle tissue; actin and myosin are the major protein strands.

46. A tough band of connective tissue that binds muscle to bone.






47. Blood circulation through small side branches that can supplement or substitute for the main vessel's delivery of blood to certain tissues.






48. Measuring of the various indicators of fitness - i.e. - strength - flexibility - body composition and cardiovascular fitness.






49. The pressure in the arteries when the heart is between beats.






50. The end product of protein metabolism.
