Define: Flexibility
the amount of motion that is possible at a joint (or set of joints); component of health-related physical fitness; several factors affect one’s flexibility including anatomy, gender, genetics, age, and lack of use/misuse
Define: National Weight Control Registry
Largest, ongoing study of individuals who have lost weight (at least 30lbs) and kept it off for at least one year. A self-reported study that tracks lifestyle behaviors associated with sustained weight loss.
Define: Weight Bias
social stigma and/or negative attitude towards individuals or overweight/obese; subtle and overt discrimination based upon physical size
Define: Stress vs. Stressor
While stress is a nonspecific response of the body to any demand made on it (by a stressor), a stressor is the thing evokes a stress reaction (creates the extra demand)
