18. a place where two or more bones meet.
Joint
a place where two or more bones meet.

19. Muscle tone
voluntary muscles in a state of very slight tension, ready and waiting to be used.

20. Muscular endurance
the ability to use voluntary muscles, many times without getting tired.

21. the amount of force that a muscle can exert against a resistance.
Muscular Strength
the amount of force that a muscle can exert against a resistance.

22. a term used to describe people who are very overfat.
Obese

23. Gradually making your training harder
Progressive Overload
Gradually making your training harder

24. a way of saying you have more body fat than you should have.
Overfat
a way of saying you have more body fat than you should have.

25. Overweight
having weight in excess of normal. Not harmful unless accompanied by overfat-ness.

the amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which would have ordinarily been consumed in the same time at rest (this results in a shortfall in the oxygen available).

27. how well a task is completed
Performance
how well a task is completed

28. Power the ability to do strength performances quickly.
Power = Strength x Speed.

29. start slowly and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do.
Progression
start slowly and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do.

30. Reaction time
the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement.

31. Reversibility
any adaptation that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training.

32. Treatment for soft tissue injuries R.I.C.E
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

33. Making the training specific to your sport or activity

Making the training specific to your sport or activity

34. The ability to move body parts quickly

The ability to move body parts quickly

35. the volume of blood pumped out of the heart in one beat.
Stroke volume
the volume of blood pumped out of the heart in one beat.

36. Tidal volume
the amount of air breathed in or out of the lungs in one normal breath. This can be at rest or during exercise

37. Timing
The ability to co-ordinate body movements in order to complete actions or skills.

38. Training
