Understanding the structure and function of the human body is essential for designing effective strength training programs and preventing injury.
Anatomy: The study of the structure of the body and its parts, including bones, muscles, organs, and systems.
Physiology: The study of the functions and processes of the body and its parts, including movements, energy production, and chemical reactions.
Cell structure and function: The fundamental building blocks of the body, including the different types of cells and their functions.
Skeletal system: The bones of the body and their functions, including support, protection, and movement.
Muscular system: The muscles of the body and their functions, including movement, posture, and heat production.
Nervous system: The nervous system of the body and its functions, including sensory input, integration, and motor output.
Endocrine system: The glands and hormones of the body and their functions, including regulation of growth, development, and metabolism.
Cardiovascular system: The heart, blood vessels, and blood of the body and their functions, including transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
Respiratory system: The lungs and their functions in gas exchange and the production of energy.
Digestive system: The organs of the body involved in digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Urinary system: The organs of the body involved in the production and elimination of urine.
Reproductive system: The organs and structures involved in reproduction and their functions.
Homeostasis: The maintenance of a stable internal environment within the body through various mechanisms.
Energy systems: The different pathways and mechanisms by which the body produces energy for movement and activity.
Fluid and electrolyte balance: The regulation of fluids and electrolytes in the body and their importance in maintaining homeostasis.
Biochemistry: The chemical reactions and processes involved in the metabolism of nutrients and energy production.
Genetics: The study of heredity and the genetic factors that influence various aspects of anatomy and physiology.
Exercise physiology: The study of how the body responds and adapts to physical activity and exercise.
Biomechanics: The study of the mechanical and physical properties of the body during movement and activity.
Strength training principles: The foundational principles behind strength training and resistance exercise, including overload, specificity, and progression.
Resistance Training: Resistance training is a form of strength training that involves using weights, resistance bands, or other forms of resistance to work your muscles. It is a type of anaerobic exercise that focuses on building muscular strength and endurance.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT is a type of strength training that involves short, intense bursts of exercise followed by rest periods. It is a form of cardiorespiratory training that can improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
Circuit Training: Circuit training is a type of strength training that involves performing a series of exercises in a specific order, with little to no rest between each exercise. It is a form of high-intensity training that can help increase muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Plyometric Training: Plyometric training is a type of strength training that involves explosive movements, such as jumping or bounding. It is designed to improve power and speed for sports or athletic performance.
Bodyweight Training: Bodyweight training is a type of strength training that uses only the weight of your own body as resistance. It is a form of functional training that can improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance.
Isometric Training: Isometric training is a type of strength training that involves holding a static position, such as a plank, for an extended period of time. It is a form of low-impact training that can improve muscular strength and endurance.
Compound Exercises: Compound exercises are strength training exercises that involve multiple muscle groups and joints. Examples include bench press, squat, and deadlift. Compound exercises are efficient for building overall functional strength and increasing metabolism.
Powerlifting: Powerlifting is a type of strength training that involves lifting as much weight as possible for a single repetition in three specific lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. It is a competitive sport that focuses on pure strength rather than aesthetics.
Olympic Weightlifting: Olympic weightlifting is a type of strength training that involves lifting weight in two different lifts: snatch and clean and jerk. It is a competitive sport that requires a combination of strength, speed, and technique.
Strongman Training: Strongman training is a type of strength training that involves lifting and carrying heavy and awkward objects, such as logs and stones. It is a competitive sport that focuses on brute strength, power, and endurance.
- "The terms, typically derived from Latin or Greek roots, describe something in its standard anatomical position."
- "This position provides a definition of what is at the front ('anterior'), behind ('posterior') and so on."
- "As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axes."
- "The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal."
- "Additionally, for some animals such as invertebrates, some terms may not have any meaning at all; for example, an animal that is radially symmetrical will have no anterior surface."
- "International organisations have determined vocabularies that are often used as standards for subdisciplines of anatomy. For example, Terminologia Anatomica for humans and Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria for animals."
- "These allow parties that use anatomical terms, such as anatomists, veterinarians, and medical doctors, to have a standard set of terms to communicate clearly the position of a structure."
