My name is I**** H**** I'm presently in my last year of Nature Science's. The job of a kinesiologist is to help people to live a healthy life with the physical activity. They can boost your performances with their knowledge and expertise or only help you to achieve your fitness goal or healthy lifestyle. This glossary is a presentation of vocabulary gravitating around the kinesiology domain, helping me to extend my knowledge in english, about my future field of study.
anatomy
noun
the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.
Example: "he studied physiology and anatomy"
en: anatomie
biomechanics
noun
relating to the mechanical laws concerning the movement or structure of living organisms.
Example: "a biomechanical advantage"
en: biomécanique
brisk walk
noun
walking faster than you would normally.
Example: Physical activity of moderate intensity is equivalent to a BRISK WALK and should be enough to raise body temperature, produce a mild sweat, but still remain comfortable.
en: marche rapide
calisthenics
noun
gymnastic exercises to achieve bodily fitness and grace of movement.
Example: "three women swung Indian clubs while performing calisthenics in unison"
en: gymnastique suédoise/callisthénie
dynamism
noun
the quality of being characterized by vigorous activity and progress.
Example: "the dynamism and strength of the economy"
en: dynamisme
endorphins
noun
any of a group of hormones secreted within the brain and nervous system and having a number of physiological functions. They are peptides which activate the body's opiate receptors, causing an analgesic effect.
Example: Some researchers argue that serotonergic neurons in the hypothalamus can produce release of ENDORPHINS in the VTA (Wilson, 2003).
en: endorphine
health
noun
a person's mental or physical condition.
Example: "bad health forced him to retire"

heartrate
noun
the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions (beats) of the heart per minute (bpm).
Example: While your heart rate is a great way to gauge the intensity of your workout, the monitors on most machines don’t give you a true reading. This is because they clip on your finger instead of measuring your arterial pulse.

kinetics
noun
the study of forces acting on mechanisms
Example: The most important conception in kinetics is that of inertia
en: cinétique
motor skills
noun
a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task.
Example: Performance is an act of executing a motor skill or task.
en: habilité motrice
neuromuscular
adjective
relating to nerves and muscles.
Example: Mr may be suffering with poor coordination and balance ether due to a cerebellar lesion or a NEUROMUSCULAR condition.
en: neuromusculaire
plyometric
noun
Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength). This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or "explosive" manner, such as in specialized repeated jumping.
Example: Plyometric jumps can represent level changes and oblique exercise on a stability ball is an example of rotational movement.

rehabilitation
noun
the action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy after imprisonment, addiction, or illness.
Example: "she underwent rehabilitation and was walking within three weeks"

sarcopenia
noun
the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function.
Example: The most common cause of sarcopenia is the natural aging process.
en: sarcopénie
serotonin
noun
a compound present in blood platelets and serum, which constricts the blood vessels and acts as a neurotransmitter.
Example: Drug treatments of anxiety disorders can also give clues as to the mechanisms of the disorders, for example the drug buspirone interacts with SEROTONIN 5HT1A receptors providing relief from anxiety, this suggests that these receptors are abnormal in people with anxiety disorders (Rosenzweig et al , 2005).
en: sérotonine
stamina
noun
the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort.
Example: "their secret is stamina rather than speed"
en: Endurance
stretching

tabata
noun

Example: "Tabata is about pushing your limits"

weightlifting
noun
the sport or activity of lifting barbells or other heavy weights. There are two standard lifts in modern weightlifting: the single-movement lift from floor to extended position (the snatch ), and the two-movement lift from floor to shoulder position, and from shoulders to extended position (the clean and jerk ).
