• the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion

• the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the body

• the body’s response to a flexibility program

The muscles’ ability to work over a long period of time is_____.

• flexibility

• body composition

• intensity

• muscular endurance

Resistance training

• places additional force against a muscle or muscle group

• combines or balances a healthy diet and exercise

• improves cardiorespiratory endurance most efficiently

• uses the body’s fat as an energy source

• regulate your diet

• how tall a person is compared to his/her height and weight

To improve muscular strength

• stretch your muscles every day

• work your muscles to near maximal force

• complete an exercise at least 20 times

• run five miles up and down hills

Static stretching involves

• helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction

• moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach through a full range of motion

• stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period

• rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use your body’s momentum to stretch

Dynamic stretching involves

• helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction and then helping with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed

• moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion

• stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period

• rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use your body’s momentum to stretch
