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

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
