chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs
carbohydrate usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins - Precise
Answer ✔✔diabetes mellitus
,a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances,
decreased flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability - Precise
Answer ✔✔deconditioned
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all
mechanoreceptors that sense body positions and limb movement -
Precise Answer ✔✔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) - Precise Answer ✔✔proprioceptively enriched movement
smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three
building blocks of training - Precise Answer ✔✔phases of training

the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to
efficiently work together in all planes of motion - Precise Answer
✔✔neuromuscular efficiency
What is the first phase of training that should be completed before
anything else to prevent injury and/or tension at the joints? - Precise
Answer ✔✔stabilization training
,the muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power -
Precise Answer ✔✔prime mover
set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back without any rest
time between them - Precise Answer ✔✔superset
What type of training should done by individuals with a goal of maximal
muscle growth? - Precise Answer ✔✔Hypertrophy training
ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of
time - Precise Answer ✔✔rate of force production
the combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal
systems - Precise Answer ✔✔human movement systems
a conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a
communication network within the human body - Precise Answer
✔✔nervous system
the ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal
or external environment - Precise Answer ✔✔sensory function
the ability of the nervous system to analyze and interpret sensory
information to allow proper decision making, which produces the
appropriate response - Precise Answer ✔✔integrative function
, the neuromuscular response to the sensory information - Precise Answer
✔✔motor function
the functional unit of the nervous system - Precise Answer ✔✔neuron
These neurons transmit nerve impulses from effector sites via receptors
to the brain and spinal cord -- respond to touch, sound, light and other
stimuli - Precise Answer ✔✔sensory neurons
transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another - Precise Answer
✔✔interneurons
transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites -
Precise Answer ✔✔motor neurons
the portion of the nervous system the consists of the brain and spinal
cord - Precise Answer ✔✔central nervous system
cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body - Precise
Answer ✔✔peripheral nervous system
sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion and pressure in body
tissues - Precise Answer ✔✔mechanoreceptors
receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that
change - Precise Answer ✔✔muscle spindles
