molecules known as HDL and LDL - ✔✔blood lipids
chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate usage and enhances
usage of fats and proteins - ✔✔diabetes mellitus
a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and a lack of
core and joint stability - ✔✔deconditioned
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body
positions and limb movement - ✔✔proprioception
an unstable physical situation in which exercises are performed that cause the body to use its internal
balance and stabilization mechanisms (Examples include using stability balls and single-leg squats versus
traditional) - ✔✔proprioceptively enriched movement
