Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
Soreness experienced after exercise.
A way to control the rate at which an exercise is performed.
The principle that states the body gets accustomed to a particular exercise or training through repeated exposure.
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
Training Volume
The increase in musle groups.
How hard you train when working out in the gym.
The measure of the total amount of work performed in a training session including the exercises, loads, numbers of sets, and the number of repetitions.
Concentric
When you arm is getting longer
The phase of an exercise where the muscles involved are shortening.
A group of repetitions followed by rest.
When you are moving you body hard and it is getting smaller
Eccentric
The decrease of muscle size.
The phase of an exercise where the muscles involved are shortening.
One performance of an exercise.
The phase of an exercise where the muscles are lengthening.
Rest
The time between sets.
The measure of the total amount of work performed in a training session including the exercises, loads, numbers of sets, and the number of repetitions.
A group of repetitions followed by rest.
Soreness experienced after exercise.
Repetition (rep)
One performance of an exercise.
The phase of an exercise where the muscles are lengthening.
The decrease of muscle size.
Soreness experienced after exercise.
Set
The phase of an exercise where the muscles are lengthening.
A group of repetitions followed by rest.
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
3x10 would mean complete 3 sets of 10 reps of the exercise
Atrophy
One performance of an exercise.
The decrease of muscle size.
The increase in muscle size.
Hypertrophy
Amount of time a muscle or muscle group is held under tension (activation) during an exercise.
The measure of the total amount of work performed in a training session including the exercises, loads, numbers of sets, and the number of repetitions.
The increase in muscle size.
One performance of an exercise.
Frequency
The increase in muscle size.
A way to control the rate at which an exercise is performed.
How often the training sessions take place.
Superset
Two exercises performed back-to-back with no rest in between.
An exercise that involves multiple muscle groups.
Performing 10 DB chest press straight into 10 push-ups
No rest
Compound Exercise
The increase in muscle size.
A way to control the rate at which an exercise is performed.
An exercise that involves multiple muscle groups.
Progressive Overload
Should be kept within 10% or less each week to allow for a gradual body adaptation to minimize risk for injury.*
Gradually increasing the weight, frequency, or number of repetitions in your strength training routine.
Key to seeing progress and increasing muscle size and/or strength
A way of measuring physical activity intensity level.
Split
An exercise that involves multiple muscle groups.
How someone divides their training sessions throughout the week.
Push/pull/leg split, upper body/lower body split, full body split, etc
A way of measuring physical activity intensity level.
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
A way of measuring physical activity intensity level.
A way to control the rate at which an exercise is performed.
The principle that states the body gets accustomed to a particular exercise or training through repeated exposure.
Maximum Heart Rate
The measure of the total amount of work performed in a training session including the exercises, loads, numbers of sets, and the number of repetitions.
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
Amount of time a muscle or muscle group is held under tension (activation) during an exercise.
Can use this number to find target heart rate to train in different zones (example: moderate vs. vigorous)
Time Under Tension
Soreness experienced after exercise.
Amount of time a muscle or muscle group is held under tension (activation) during an exercise.
The phase of an exercise where the muscles are lengthening.
A way of measuring physical activity intensity level.
Tempo
A way to control the rate at which an exercise is performed.
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
How someone divides their training sessions throughout the week.
The phase of an exercise where the muscles involved are shortening.
Principle of Adaptation
Amount of time a muscle or muscle group is held under tension (activation) during an exercise.
States the body gets accustomed to a particular exercise or training through repeated exposure.
The highest number of beats your heart can pump per minute when it’s under high stress (physical or otherwise).
Gradually increasing the weight, frequency, or number of repetitions in your strength training routine.
Recovery
Amount of time a muscle or muscle group is held under tension (activation) during an exercise.
The measure of the total amount of work performed in a training session including the exercises, loads, numbers of sets, and the number of repetitions.
One of the most important parts of any training program that gives our muscles time to recover, helps improves performance, allows our body to heal for the next training session, and prevents injury.
