Anaerobic
Not using oxygen
Cardiac Output
The amount of blood pumped by the
heart
Determined by;
Stroke volume x heart rate
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
Occurs 1 to 5 days following
unaccustomed or sever exercise
Involves actual damage to the muscle
Duration
The time spent in a single exercise
session
Endurance
The capacity to continue a physical

resistance is increased, to further
stress the muscle, after it has
become accustomed to handling a
lesser resistance
Set

movement done consecutively,
without rest, until a given number or
fatigue is reached
Strength
The amount of muscular force that
can be exerted
Stroke Volume
The quantity of blood ejected with
each beat
Training Heart Rate
(THR)
The heart rate at which one aim’s to
exercise
Also called Target Heart Rate
