Question

match the terms to their definition. 1. atrophy 2. deconditioning/detraining 3. duration 4. frequency 5. hypertrophy 6. intensity 7. overload the tendency of a muscle to become smaller and weaker through lack of use (disuse) the tendency of a muscle to become larger and stronger through use the length of time an exercise or exercise session lasts the amount of overload placed on the muscles, and/or the body in general, in any specific exercise how often you exercise refers to the loss of fitness that occurs when you stop training increasing the physical demands placed on the body

Explanation:

1. atrophy: Matches "the tendency of a muscle to become smaller and weaker through lack of use (disuse)" as atrophy is muscle wasting from disuse.
2. deconditioning/detraining: Matches "refers to the loss of fitness that occurs when you stop training" as detraining is fitness loss from stopping exercise.
3. duration: Matches "the length of time an exercise or exercise session lasts" as duration is about time length of exercise.
4. frequency: Matches "how often you exercise" as frequency is exercise occurrence rate.
5. hypertrophy: Matches "the tendency of a muscle to become larger and stronger through use" as hypertrophy is muscle growth from use.
6. intensity: Matches "the amount of overload placed on the muscles, and/or the body in general, in any specific exercise" as intensity is exercise overload amount.
7. overload: Matches "increasing the physical demands placed on the body" as overload is increasing physical stress on body.

Answer:

1. atrophy - the tendency of a muscle to become smaller and weaker through lack of use (disuse)
2. deconditioning/detraining - refers to the loss of fitness that occurs when you stop training
3. duration - the length of time an exercise or exercise session lasts
4. frequency - how often you exercise
5. hypertrophy - the tendency of a muscle to become larger and stronger through use
6. intensity - the amount of overload placed on the muscles, and/or the body in general, in any specific exercise
7. overload - increasing the physical demands placed on the body
