3th ESO Theory part.

1. Vocabulary:

Physical condition:

Push-ups = flexiones de brazos

Sit-ups = abdominales

Pace = ritmo de carrera

Heart rate = frecuencia cardíaca

Workout = entrenamiento

Badminton:

Shuttlecock/ birdie = volante

Drive = derecha

Backhand = revés

Lob = globo

Drop = dejada

Smash = remate

2. Concepts:

Physical condition and health: Maximum state of physical and mental well-being that allows 

to perform daily activities with energy.
Factors influencing the physical condition: Aerobic resistance, aerobic power, speed, 

strength-resistance, resistance to speed, flexibility and muscular elasticity.
Definition of each quality and specific tests for its evaluation:
Aerobic resistance: Ability to maintain a moderate intensity of effort as long as possible. 

Race test at a continuous pace (determined number of laps), try to achieve the same times, 

adapting them to the individual level.
Aerobic power: Ability to maintain a high intensity as long as possible over a given distance 

under aerobic conditions (2-10 minutes). 
Speed: Running a short distance at maximum intensity in the shortest possible time. 
Strength: Perform as many repetitions as possible in a test where maximum strength and 

maximum intensity are required. 
Endurance to speed: Ability to perform repeated efforts at maximum intensity and with rest 

without loss of intensity. 
Flexibility and muscular elasticity: Maximum elongation capacity of a muscle, and ability 

to return to its initial state.
