C. Nicklin AST Aerobic

C. Nicklin AST Agility

C. Nicklin AST Aerobic ‘with oxygen’. If exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen the muscles need.

C. Nicklin AST Agility the ability to change the position of the body quickly and to control the movement of the whole body

C. Nicklin AST Anaerobic

C. Nicklin AST Balance

C. Nicklin AST 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 can use them.

C. Nicklin AST Balance the ability to retain the centre of mass (gravity) of the body above the base of support with reference to static Balance (stationary Balance) or dynamic Balance (changing Balance) conditions of movement, shape and orientation.

C. Nicklin AST Fitness the ability to meet the demands of the environment

C. Nicklin AST Health Related Fitness

C. Nicklin AST Skill Related Fitness

C. Nicklin AST Health Related Fitness Cardiovascular Fitness / Endurance Muscular Endurance Muscular Strength Flexibility Body Composition Speed

C. Nicklin AST Flexibility

C. Nicklin AST Health

C. Nicklin AST Flexibility the range of movement possible at a joint

C. Nicklin AST Health a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.

C. Nicklin AST Heart rate

C. Nicklin AST Isometric contractions

C. Nicklin AST Heart rate the number of times the heart beats each minute

C. Nicklin AST Isometric contractions muscle contraction which results in increased tension but the length does not alter, eg, when pressing against a stationary object

C. Nicklin AST Isotonic contraction

C. Nicklin AST Joint

C. Nicklin AST Isotonic contraction muscle contraction that results in limb movement

C. Nicklin AST Joint a place where two or more bones meet

C. Nicklin AST Muscle tone

C. Nicklin AST Muscular endurance

C. Nicklin AST Muscle tone voluntary muscles in a state of very slight tension, ready and waiting to be used

C. Nicklin AST Muscular endurance the ability to use voluntary muscles, many times without getting tired.

C. Nicklin AST Muscular strength

C. Nicklin AST Obese

C. Nicklin AST Muscular strength the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance.

C. Nicklin AST Obese a term used to describe people who are very overfat

C. Nicklin AST Overload

C. Nicklin AST Overfat

C. Nicklin AST Overload fitness can only be improved through training more than you normally do

C. Nicklin AST Overfat a way of saying you have more body fat than you should have

C. Nicklin AST Overweight

C. Nicklin AST Oxygen Debt

C. Nicklin AST Overweight having weight in excess of normal. Not harmful unless accompanied by overfat-ness

C. Nicklin AST Oxygen Debt the amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which would have ordinarily been consumed in the same time at rest (this results in a shortfall in the oxygen available)

C. Nicklin AST Performance

C. Nicklin AST Power

C. Nicklin AST Performance how well a task is completed

C. Nicklin AST Power the ability to do strength performances quickly. Power = Strength x Speed.

C. Nicklin AST Progression

C. Nicklin AST Reaction time

C. Nicklin AST Progression start slowly and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do.

C. Nicklin AST Reaction time the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement.

C. Nicklin AST Reversibility

C. Nicklin AST R.I.C.E

C. Nicklin AST Reversibility any adaptation that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training.

C. Nicklin AST R.I.C.E Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

C. Nicklin AST Specificity

C. Nicklin AST Speed

C. Nicklin AST Specificity you must do specific kinds of activity or exercise to build specific body parts

C. Nicklin AST Speed The differential rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time Time taken to move from A to B

C. Nicklin AST Stroke volume

C. Nicklin AST Tidal volume

C. Nicklin AST Stroke volume the volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction.

C. Nicklin AST Tidal volume the amount of air breathed in or out of the lungs in one breath.

C. Nicklin AST Training

C. Nicklin AST Vital capacity

C. Nicklin AST Training a well-planned programme which uses scientific principles to improve performance, skill, game ability and motor and physical fitness

C. Nicklin AST Vital capacity the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after breathing in as much as possible.
