- 1Aerobic'With oxygen'; if exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen the muscles need
- 2Aerobic respiration equationGlucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy
- 3AgilityThe ability to change the position of the body quickly and to control the movement of the whole body.
- 4Anabolic steroidsDrugs that mimic the male sex hormone testosterone and promote bone and muscle growth.
- 5Anaerobic'Without oxygen' ; if exercise is dome in short, fast bursts, the heart cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the cells use them.
- 6Anaerobic respirationGlucose = lactic acid + energy
- 7AnorexicProlonged eating disorder due to loss of appetite
- 8BalanceThe ability to retain the body's centre of mass (gravity) above the base of support with reference to static or dynamic conditions of movement, shape or orientation.
- 9Balance dietA diet which contains an optimal ration of nutrients
- 10Beta blockersDrugs that are used to control heart rate and that have a calming and relaxing effect
- 11Blood pressureThe force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of the blood vessels.
- 12Body compositionThe percentage of body weight that is fat, muscle and bone
- 13Cardiac outputThe a,out of blood ejected fro the heart in one minute.
- 14Cardiovascular fitnessThe ability to exercise the entire body for a long periods of time
- 15CompetenceThe relationship between: skill, the selection and application of skills, tactics, strategies, and compositional ideas; and the readiness of the body and mind to cope with the activity. It requires an understanding of how these combine to produce effective performances in different activities and context
- 16CoordinationThe ability to use two or more body parts together.
- 17DiureticsDrugs that elevate the rate of bodily urine excretion. (Helps loose weight)
- 18EctomorphA somatotype; individuals with wide hips and narrow shoulders, characterises by fatness.
- 19ectomorphA somatotype; individuals with narrow shoulders, mad narrow hits characterised by thinness
- 20Erythropoietin (EPO)A type of peptide hormone that increased the red blood cell count.
- 21ExerciseA form of physical activity fine to maintain or improve health and/or physical fitness, it is not a competitive sport
- 22FitnessThe ability to meet the demand of the environment
- 23FITTF-requency
I-ntensity

T-ype
Used to increase the amount of work the body does, in order to achieve overload. - 24FlexibilityThe range of movement possible at a joint
- 25HealthA state of mental, physical and social well- being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
- 26Healthy, active lifestyleA lifestyle that contributes positively to physical, mental and social wellbeing, and which includes regular exercise and physical activity.
- 27Heart rateThe number of times the heart beats in each minute
- 28Individual needs and differencesMatching training to the requirements of an individual
- 29Isometric contractionsMuscle contractions, which results in increased tension but the length does not alter, for example, when pressing against a stationary object
- 30Isotonic contractionMuscles contract that result in a limb moving
- 31JointA place where two or more bones meet
- 32MesomorphA mesomorph; individuals with wide shoulders and narrow hips, characterised by muscularity
- 33Methods of trainingInterval training, continuos training, circuit training, weight training, fartlek training, cross training
- 34Muscular enduranceThe ability to use voluntary muscles many times without fatiguing
- 35Muscular strengthThe amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance.
- 36Narcotic analgesicsDrugs used to reduce the feeling of pain
- 37ObeseA term used to describe people who are very overfat
- 38OverfatA way of saying you have more body fat than you should have
- 39OverloadFitness can only be improved through training more than you usually do
- 40OverweightHaving eight in excess of normal (not harmful unless accompanied by overfatness)
- 41Oxygen debtThe amount if oxygen consumed during recovery about that which would have ordinarily been consumed I. The same time at rest ( this results in a shortfall in the oxygen available).

Exercise
Programme - 44Peptide hormonesDrugs that cause production of other hormones
- 45PerformanceHow we'll a task is completed
- 46Physical activityAny form of exercise or movement; physical activity may be planned and structures or unplanned and unstructured
( in PE we are concerned with planned and structured physical activity such as a fitness class) - 47PowerThe ability to do strength performances quickly (power = strength x speed)
- 48Progressive overloadTo gradually increase the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential for injury.
- 49ProtocolThe procedure for carrying out a test
- 50Reaction timeThe time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement
- 51ReversibilityAny adaptations that take place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training
- 52RecoveryThe time required for the repair the damage to the body caused by training or competition
- 53RestThe period if time allotted to recover
- 54RICERest

- 58SpecificityMatching training to the requirements if an activity
- 59SpeedThe differential rats at which an individual is able to per from a movement or cover a distance in a period of time
- 60StimulantsDrugs that have an effect on the central nervous system, such as increased mental and/or physical alertness
- 61Stroke volumeThe volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction
- 62Target zoneThe range within which an individual needs to work for aerobic training to take place ( 60-80% of maximum heart rate)
- 63TrainingA well-planned programme which uses scientifically principles to improve performance, skill, game ability and motor and physical fitness
- 64Training thresholdsThe boundaries of the target zones
- 65UnderweightWeighing less than is normal, healthy, or required.
