The body’s ability to change direction quickly and easily.

The body’s ability to maintain a stable position while at rest or in motion.

cardio
Short for cardiovascular: cardio = heart and vascular = blood vessels. A closed system consisting of the heart, arteries that pump blood away from the heart throughout the rest of the body, and veins that carry blood back to the heart.

contract
To shorten a muscle. For example, bending your elbow is the result of a muscle contraction in your biceps (upper arm muscles).

coordination
The ability of the mind to interact with and control different parts of the body’s motions.

deoxygenated blood
Blood that has had its oxygen removed and replaced with carbon dioxide.

deltoid
The shoulder muscle shaped like a triangle. When arms are straight, this muscle helps move the arm away from the body—either from the side, front, or rear.

discontinuous
Activities performed with frequent rest periods, like baseball or football.

duration
The length of time a person exercises

exercise
Any kind of movement or physical activity.

exhale
To breathe air out.

extension
A movement that increases the angle between two bones at any joint. This is the opposite of “flexion” (straightening the elbow).

fitness physical activity
Physical activity that helps maintain a healthy body including flexibility, muscle strength, cardiovascular health, body fat content, and chemical and vitamin balance.

fitness plan
An organized plan of exercise.

flexible
A physical feeling of the ability to easily and freely move body parts.

flexion
The motion that decreases the angle between two bones at any joint; for example, bending the elbow. This is the opposite of “extension.”

frequency
How often a person exercises.

heart rate
The number of times the heart beats per minute.

inhale
To breathe air in.

inflexible
A physical feeling of stiffness and the inability to freely and easily move body parts.
intensity


2. How hard a person exercises.

maximum heart rate
When the heart is beating as fast as it can go.

muscle
Expandable body tissue that enables body parts to move.

muscular endurance
The ability of the muscles to work for a long period of time without tiring.

muscular strength
The maximum force that can be exerted at any one time.

oxygen
The most important and abundant element for living which brings needed energy to the cells of the body.

oxygenated blood
Blood that has returned from the lungs containing oxygen, and gets pumped out of the left side of the heart.

repetition
Activities performed rapidly a certain number of times (10 push-ups or 10 sit-ups). resting heart rate The heart rate (pulse) when the heart is at rest.

skeleton
The more than 200 bones that make up the framework of the body. Muscles and tendons attached to the skeleton allow the body to move.
speed
The ability to move quickly between points over a period of time.

stretch
A movement that is held for a period of time and increases flexibility.

stress
A physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension a person feels.

target heart rate
The suggested range of heart beats needed during aerobic exercise to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

tendon
A tough band or tissue that connects muscles to the bones.

triceps
A muscle arising from three separate origins located on upper back of arm.

veins
Vessels that carry blood towards the heart.
