| Anaerobic | "Without Oxygen". If exercise is done in short, fast bursts the heart cannot supply blood and oxygen to the muscles as fast as the cells use them. |

| Flexibility | The range of movement possible at a joint. |
| Health | A state of complete mental, physical and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. |
| Health-related exercise | Exercise which is undertaken primarily to improve health and fitness for life. |
| Healthy, active lifestyle | A lifestyle that contributes positively to physical, mental and social wellbeing, and that includes regular physical activity. |
| Heart Rate | The number of times the heart beats each minute. |
| Hypokinetic disease | A disease related to too little activity. (Hypo means under or too little: kinetic means energy or activity) |
| Hypertrophy | Scientific term for an increase in the size of muscle. |
| Individual differences / needs | Matching training to the requirements of an individual |

| Narcotic Analgesics | Drugs that can be used to reduce the feeling of pain. |
| Obese | A term used to describe people who are very overweight. |
| Optimum Weight | Best weight or desirable weight - the best weight a player performs at. |
| Overfat | A way of saying you have more body fat than you should have. |
| Overweight | Having weight in excess of normal (not harmful unless accompanied by overfatness). |
| Oxygen Debt | The amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which would have ordinarily been consumed in the same time at rest (this result in a shortfall in the oxygen available). |

| Peptide hormones | Drugs that cause the production of hormones. |
| Performance | How well a task is completed. |
| PESSCL | PE and School Sport Club Links |
| Physical Activity | Any form of exercise or movement; physical activity may be planned an structured or unplanned and unstructured ( in PE we are concerned with planned and structured physical activity, such as a fitness class). |
| Power | The ability to do strength performances quickly (power = strength X speed). |
| Progressive Overload | To gradually increase the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential of injury. |
| Reaction Time | The time between the presentations of a stimulus and the onset of a movement. |
| Recovery | The time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition. |
