A
Active Recovery
Low-intensity exercise performed after intense training to promote recovery and reduce muscle soreness.
Aerobic Exercise
Continuous, rhythmic activity that improves cardiovascular endurance (e.g., running, cycling, swimming).
Anaerobic Exercise
Short bursts of high-intensity activity that build strength and power (e.g., sprinting, weightlifting).
I
Interval Training
Workouts that alternate between high- and low-intensity exercises to improve speed and endurance.
Isometric Exercise
Static exercises where the muscle contracts without changing length (e.g., planks).

B
Balance Training
Exercises that improve stability, coordination, and control over body movements.
Baseline Fitness
A person’s starting level of physical fitness before beginning a structured training program.
Body Composition
The ratio of fat, muscle, water, and bone in the body.
C
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the body during sustained activity.
Circuit Training
A workout that cycles through a series of exercises targeting different muscle groups with minimal rest.
Core Strength
The strength of the muscles in the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis, crucial for stability and movement.
D
Dynamic Stretching
Movement-based stretching that helps prepare muscles for exercise by increasing flexibility and blood flow.
E
Eccentric Training
Strength training that focuses on lengthening the muscle under tension (e.g., lowering a weight slowly).
Endurance Training
Exercises designed to increase stamina and improve cardiovascular health.
F
Functional Training
Exercises that mimic real-life movements to enhance everyday activities and athletic performance.
H
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Short bursts of intense exercise alternated with periods of rest or lower-intensity movement.
Hypertrophy
The process of muscle growth through strength training.
I
Interval Training
Workouts that alternate between high- and low-intensity exercises to improve speed and endurance.
Isometric Exercise
Static exercises where the muscle contracts without changing length (e.g., planks).
M
Mobility
The ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion.
Muscle Endurance
The ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions over time.
P
Periodization
A structured approach to training that varies intensity and volume over time to maximize performance and recovery.
Plyometrics
Explosive exercises designed to increase power and speed (e.g., jump squats, box jumps).
Progressive Overload
Gradually increasing the weight, resistance, or intensity of exercises to build strength and endurance.
R
Recovery
The process of allowing the body to rest, rebuild, and adapt after exercise.
Repetitions (Reps)
The number of times an exercise is performed in a set.
Resistance Training
Exercises that use resistance (weights, bands, body weight) to build strength and muscle.
S
Set
A group of repetitions performed sequentially before resting.
Static Stretching
Holding a stretch for a period to improve flexibility.
Strength Training
Exercises designed to improve muscle strength and endurance through resistance.
T
Tabata
A form of HIIT with 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated for four minutes.
Tendon Strength
The ability of tendons to withstand force and support movement.
Total Body Workout
A workout that targets all major muscle groups in a single session.
W
Warm-Up
Light exercise and mobility work done before training to prepare the body for activity.
Workout Split
A training plan that divides exercises by muscle group or focus area (e.g., upper body/lower body split).
B
Balance Training
Exercises that improve stability, coordination, and control over body movements.
