 Resistance | Resistance Stabilization Resistance Strength Resistance Power |
| Resistance Stabilization | Phase 1 |
| Resistance Strength | Phases 2, 3, 4 |
| Resistance Power | Phase 5 |
| General Adaptation Syndrome (pg. 272-274) | Alarm Reaction Resistance development Exhaustion |
| Alarm Reaction (pg. 273) | Initial reaction to stressor such as increased oxygen and blood supply to the necessary areas of the body |
| Resistance development (pg. 273) | Increased functional capacity to adapt to stressor such as increasing motor unit recruitment |
| Exhaustion (pg. 273) | A prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatigue and leads to a breakdown in the system or injury |
| SAID Principle (Principle of Specificity) (pg. 274-276) | Specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID) Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it. |
| Mechanical Specificity (pg 275) | Refers to the weight and movements placed on the body. |
| Neuromuscular Specificity (pg. 275) | Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection. |
| Metabolic Specificity (pg. 275) | Refers to the energy demand placed on the body. |
| Strength (pg. 277) | The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external force. |
| Muscular Endurance (pg. 278) | The ability of the body to produce low levels of force and maintain them for extended periods. |
| Stability (pg. 278) | The ability of the body to maintain postural equilibrium and support joints during movement. |
| Strength Endurance (pg. 279) | The ability of the body to repeatedly produce high levels of force for prolonged periods. |
| Hypertrophy (pg. 279) | Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension. |
| Maximal Strength (pg. 279) | The maximum force that a muscle can produce in a single, voluntary effort, regardless of velocity. |
| Power (pg. 280) | Ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time. |
| Single-set (pg. 281) | Performing one set of each exercise. |
| Multiple-set (pg. 281) | Performing a multiple number of sets for each exercise. |
| Pyramid (pg. 281) | Increasing (or decreasing) weight with each set. |
| Superset (pg. 281) | Performing two exercises in rapid succession with minimal rest |
| Circuit training (pg. 281) | Performing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest. |
| Peripheral heart action (pg. 281) | A variation of circuit training that uses different exercises (upper and lower body) for each set through the circuit |
| Split-routine (pg. 281) | A routine that trains different body parts on separate days. |
| Vertical loading (pg. 281) | Performing exercises on the OPT template one after the other, in a vertical manner down the template |
| Horizontal loading (pg. 281) | Performing all sets of an exercise (or body part) before moving on to the next exercise (or body part) |
