swell, and then fillup with mucus causing breathing difficulties.
What type of muscle fiber is best for competing in a triathlon? - Type

events where the bodyutilizes the oxidative pathway.
Hold more mitochondria and myoglobin
"Keep shoulder blades down and together throughout the entire
movement" is an appropriate cue to give clients during what
movement? - Dumbbell incline bench press
What are the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per
day? - 5 - 10 servingsper day. We need lots of vegetables because
they are nutrient dense (has lots of nutrients) and are essential to
improved health.

What muscle is the prime mover in the bench press? - Pectoralis
major (sternal pectoralis major) is the largest between the that and
clavicular (upper chest) pectoralis.
How is strength usually measured? - 1RM test since strength
is defined as the:1. ability to contract muscles with maximum
force.
2. Being able to exert musculoskeletal force against external object
(weights, ground,opponents).
All activities begin in which energy pathway? - ATP/CP pathway.
Doesn't matter how long or how intense the activity is, every
activity starts here. Myosin ATPase cuts off aphosphate molecule
from ATP and uses it for releasing energy.
What is the most superficial (closest to the surface) muscle of

Cycling your training to help account for shock, compensation, and
exhaustion is animportant part of periodization and refers to which
principle? - The GAS principle.
1. "Alarm stage" applying intense training stress.
2. "Resistance stage" muscles evolve and adapt to handling
heavier loads and resiststressful weights more easily and
effectively.
3. "Exhaustion stage" continually adding stress will exhaust our
reserves and will ceaseto function at peak performance.
To prevent the third stage from even happening, you need weeks of
going "light";decreasing the weight and intensity to give your body
time to rest and recover.
The need for different phases of training helps to prevent what? -
Overtraining
Mix things up a bit. Don't get stuck with using the same
