Handstand in gymnastics

a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease.

flex and extend

work in pairs, so when the agonist contracts the antagonist relaxes

nose/ mouth> trachea > bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli

intercostal muscles contracts and diaphragm contracts and flattens to increase lung volume, lower pressure to suck air in. Oxygen diffuses through alveoli cell wall into blood stream

Exercising at a constant rate over a long time period without rest.

Exercising over changing intensities and terrains for a long period of time

Consists of multiple stations, each with a different activity.

Jumping exercises to improve power and explosive strength eg. Squat jumps

Periods of high intensity exercise followed by rest time

Training must be suited to both sport and the needs of the participant

Training must increase gradually in order to prevent fatigue/injury

Working body harder than normal to increase performance levels

Positive effects are lost if training is stopped

Increases blood flow to muscles
