person with a body mass index of 30 or greater, or who is at least 30 pounds over his
or her recommended weight

bloodstream by protein molecules known as HDL and LDL - ANSWER: blood lipids
chronic metabolic disorder caused by insulin deficiency, which impairs carbohydrate
usage and enhances usage of fats and proteins - ANSWER: diabetes mellitus
a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased
flexibility, and a lack of core and joint stability - ANSWER: deconditioned
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all
mechanoreceptors that sense body positions and limb movement - 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) - ANSWER: proprioceptively
enriched movement
smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of
training - ANSWER: phases of training
a muscle's ability to contract for an extended period - ANSWER: muscular endurance
the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work
together in all planes of motion - 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? - ANSWER: stabilization training
,the muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power - ANSWER: prime
mover
set of two exercises that are performed back-to-back without any rest time between
them - ANSWER: superset
What type of training should done by individuals with a goal of maximal muscle
growth? - ANSWER: Hypertrophy training
ability of muscles to exert maximal force output in a minimal amount of time -
ANSWER: rate of force production
the combination and interrelation of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems -
ANSWER: human movement systems
a conglomeration of billions of cells specifically designed to provide a communication
network within the human body - ANSWER: nervous system
the ability of the nervous system to sense changes in either the internal or external
environment - 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 - ANSWER:
integrative function
the neuromuscular response to the sensory information - ANSWER: motor function
the functional unit of the nervous system - 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 - ANSWER:
sensory neurons
transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to another - ANSWER: interneurons
transmit nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effector sites - ANSWER:
motor neurons
the portion of the nervous system the consists of the brain and spinal cord -
ANSWER: central nervous system
cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body - ANSWER: peripheral
nervous system
sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion and pressure in body tissues -
ANSWER: mechanoreceptors
, receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change -
ANSWER: muscle spindles
receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change -
ANSWER: golgi tendon organs
receptors surrounding a joint that respond to pressure, acceleration, and declaration
of the joint - ANSWER: joint receptors
the body's framework, composed of bones and joints - ANSWER: skeletal system
provide a resting ground for muscles and protection of vital organs - ANSWER: bones
junctions of bones, muscles, and connective tissue at which movement occurs -
ANSWER: joints
portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral
column - ANSWER: axial skeleton
portion of the skeletal system that includes the upper and lower extremities -
ANSWER: appendicular skeleton
The "link" between the axial and appendicular skeletons - ANSWER: pelvic girdle
the process of resorption and formation of bone - ANSWER: remodeling
a type of bone cell that removes bone tissue - ANSWER: osteoclasts
a type of cell that is responsible for bone formation - ANSWER: osteoblasts
the end of long bones, which is mainly composed of cancellous bone, and house
much of the red marrow involved in red blood cell production - ANSWER: epiphysis
the shaft portion of a long bone - ANSWER: diaphysis
the region of a long bone connecting the diaphysis to the epiphysis -- a layer of
cartilaginous cells in which growth in length of the diaphysis occurs - ANSWER:
epiphyseal plate
a dense membrane composed of fibrous connective tissue that closely wraps all
bone - ANSWER: periosteum
the central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored - ANSWER: medullar cavity
cartilage that covers the articular surfaces of bone - ANSWER: articular cartilage
