Movement away from the midline of the body

Movement towards the middle of the body

The ability to change direction at speed; nimbleness

The muscle that works to create movement

The muscle that works in the opposite way of the agonist

A pair of muscles that work together to produce movement with one muscle contracting whilst the other muscle relaxes. E.g: the upper arm, as the arm flexes the bicep contracts and the tricep relaxes

Bones that move relative to each other at a joint

The ability to stay upright or stay in control of body movement

force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of the blood vessels

Tubular structures that carry blood around our bodies

The volume of blood pumped per minute by each ventricle of the heart. Cardiac output = stroke volume x heart rate

Ability to exercise the entire body for long periods of time

A tough, elastic, fibrous connective tissue

Series of alternate exercises performed at stations that focus on different muscle groups

The circular movement of a joint. It is a movement pattern that combines flexion, extension, adduction and abduction

The ability to move two or more body parts under control, smoothly and efficiently

The human body has two circulatory loops in which blood circulates. One is oxygenated, and the other is deoxygenated.

A straightening movement around a joint

Your ability to meet the physical demands placed on you by the environment

A muscle which acts as the stabilizer and helps the agonist work effectively of one part of the body during movement of another part

Range of movement available around a joint

Protection, Shape, Support, Movement, Blood production

A measure of cardiac activity usually expressed as the number of beats per minute.

A place where two or more bones meet

Strong bands which attach bones to bones at joints

The ability to use voluntary muscles many times without tiring

The ability to do strength performances quickly (power=strength x speed)

The time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement

The rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time

The volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction

Strong strips which attach muscle to bone

When blood vessels supplying the capillaries in the skin contract, reducing blood flow

When blood cells supplying blood to the skin can swell or dilate
