Document Summary
The ability to move a joint through its full range of motion is exibility. Exercise is the term that describes physical activity that is planned, repetitive, and intended to improve physical tness. Heat stroke: elevated body temp; hot, dry skin; poor circulation. Heat exhaustion: profuse sweating, elevated body temp, headache, dizzy, weakness. Muscular power is a combo of muscular strength and speed. The main energy currency of cells is atp (adenosine triphosphate) The two major determinants of athletic performance are genetic makeup and athletic training. The high-energy bond in atp molecules are located between the phosphate groups. A balanced tness program should include aerobic exercises, strength training, and exibility exercises. Why athletes should refrain from using ergogenic aids: some supplements may include ingredients that cause athletes to test positive for banned substances, some supplements may contain harmful substances. Muscular endurance describes the ability of the muscle to perform many repetitions of an exercise with light of moderate resistance.
