UNIT 5 PART 2

• repetitive strain injury - you get hurt when you put your body through the same motions over and over again.
• repetitive strain injury - This type of injury often occurs from doing lots of repetitive motions, such as running, hitting a tennis ball, kicking, or performing the same swimming stroke.
• repetitive strain injury often occurs from doing lots of repetitive motions, such as:

  • running
  • hitting a tennis ball
  • kicking
  • performing the same swimming stroke.
• for recreational exercisers, the best approach is to do a little of everything in that way you’ll build a:

  • strong heart (for endurance)
  • muscular legs
  • powerful upper body.
• Exercise selection - The different exercises or lifts you perform in a workout, which determines which muscles you train in that session
• Exercise order - The order in which you perform the exercises in an workout
• Sets - The number of times you perform a group of reps (short for repetitions)
• Reps - The number of times you perform an exercise without stopping for rest
• Tempo - The speed at which you perform each rep
• Rest - The time you have to recover between sets and and between exercises
• Weight - The amount of resistance you lift for each set
• total-body session - is a workout in which all of your major muscle groups get trained
• An upper-body session targets the:

  • chest
  • back
  • shoulders
  • arms
• A lower-body session hits the:

  • glutes
  • quads
  • hamstrings
  • calves.
• Complementary muscle group sessions - A more advanced approach to lifting weights is an exercise selection strategy that combines “complementary” lifts.
• Opposite muscle group sessions - advanced exercise selection strategy combines “antagonistic” exercises that work opposing muscle groups, such as in a chest and back session, or a biceps and triceps workout.
• Single muscle group sessions - Another advanced approach, which requires training up to five or six times per week, is to focus your training time on a single muscle group per session.

  This allows you to target each muscle with a lot of training time to grow the biggest possible muscles.
• 3 Sets :

  Straight sets, Supersets, Trisets
• compound exercise - is one that uses multiple muscle groups at the same time to perform a movement.
