| Question | Answer |
| Continuous training | Training at a low to medium intensity for at least 20 minutes with no rest periods |
| Weight training | Using progressive resistance to build muscle strength or endurance, speed or bulk |
| Interval training | Short bursts of high intensity activity followed by defined periods of rest |
| Circuit training | A number of exercise stations arranged to aviod exercising the same muscle group consecutively |
| Fartlek training | Exercising at different speeds and intensities and over different terrain |
| Cross training | A mixture of different training methods throughout a training programme |
| Agility | Ability to change the position of the body quickly and to control the movement of the whole body |
| Balance | The ability to retain the centre of mass of the body above the base of support (static and dynamic) |
| Coordination | Ability to use two or more body parts together |
| Power | Ability to undertake strength performances quickly (Power= Strength X Speed) |
| Reaction time | The time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of movement |
| Speed | The rate an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time |
| Cardiovascular fitness | Ability to exercise the entire body for a long period of time |
| Muscular strength | The amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance |
| Muscular endurance | Ability to use the voluntary muscles many times without getting tired |
| Flexibility | The range of movement possible at a joint |
| Body composition | The percentage of the body weight that is fat, muscle and bone |
| Health | A state of complete mental, physical and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity |
| Exercise | Any form of physical activity which maintains or improves health and/or fitness |
| Fitness | Ability to meet the demands of the environment |
| Performance | How well a task is completed |
| SMART | Specific, measureable, achievable, realistic, time-bound |
| Individual need | Matching the training to the requirements of the individual |
| Specificity | Matching the training to the requirements of the activity |
| Progressive overload | To gradually increase the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential for injury |
| Rest and recovery | Rest is the period of time allotted to recovery, recovery is the time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition |

| Resting heart rate | Heart rate when at rest. Should be between 60-80 BPM |
| Working heart rate | Heart rate during or immediately after exercise |
| Maximum heart rate | 220 - age (e.g. 220-16=204) |
| Target zone | Intensity you should be working at during exercise. Target zone is 60-80% of your maximum heart rate |
| Recovery rate | How long it takes for your heart rate to return to its resting level after exercise |
