Diastolic blood pressure - Is the point where the sound disappears. Pressure exerted but the blood against the walls of the arteries during the relaxation phase of the heart. Health related components of fitness - Cardiorespiratory endurance, Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, Body composition, and Flexibility Skill related components of fitness - Agility, Balance, Power, Speed, Coordination, Reaction time Type A, B, and C personalities - Type A: Primarily hard-driving, overambitious, aggressive, competitive, hostile Type B: calm, casual, relaxed, and easy going Type C: the behavior pattern of individuals who are just as highly stressed as the type A but do not seem to be at higher risk for disease than the type B individuals.

Type 2: Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, a condition in which insulin is not processed properly.
Cancer prevention foods - Green and dark vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, beans Leading causes of death - 1. Heart Disease
Body composition and methods used to assess it - Dual Energy X-ray Absorptionmetry, Hydrostatic Weighing, Skinfold thickness, Girth measurements, Bioelectrical Impedance, Maximum Heart Rates - 220- Age= Maximum Heart rate Flexibility - The achievable range of motion at a joint or group of joints without causing injury. Muscular Strength/Endurance - The ability of a muscle to exert maximum force against resistance (bench press, etc.) Exert submaximal force repeatedly. Anaerobic/Aerobic - Aerobic: Exercise that requires oxygen to produce the necessary energy to carry out the activity. Example- walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, skiing. Anaerobic- Exercise that does not require oxygen to produce the necessary energy to carry out the activity. Example- races of 100, 200, and 400 meters races in swimming, gymnastics, and strength training.
