    If exercise is not too fast and is steady the heart can supply all the oxygen muscles need
  2. 2Aesthetic appreciationTo be able to see the beauty in a performance
  3. 3AgilityThe ability to change the position of the body quickly and to control the movement of the whole body
  4. 4Anabolic steroidsDrugs that mimic the male sex hormone testosterone and promote bone and muscle growth
  5. 5Anaerobicwithout oxygen
    If exercise is done in short, fast bursts, the heart cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the cells use them
  6. 6AnorexicPertaining to anorexia; a prolonged eating disorder due to loss of appetite
  7. 7BalanceThe ability to retain the centre of mass (gravity) of the body above the base of the support with reference to static (stationery) or dynamic conditions of movements, shape and orrientation
  8. 8Beta blockersDrugs that are used to control heart rate and that have a calming and relaxing effect
  9. 9Blood pressureBlood pressure is the force exerted by the heart as it pumps blood out of the heart and into the arteries (systolic-high pressure) and it is low when it relaxes between beats (diastolic)
