1. Skeletal System Key Terms | 骨骼系统核心术语
The cranium is the bone of the skull that encases the brain. Associate 'cranium' with 'cranial', meaning 'of the skull' — both share the same root, so just think 'cranium protects the cranium contents'.
颅骨是包裹大脑的头骨。将 'cranium' 与 'cranial'（头部的）联系起来——两者同根，只需记住颅骨保护颅腔内容物。
The clavicle, or collarbone, gets its name from the Latin 'clavicula' meaning 'little key', because its shape resembles an old-fashioned key. Picture a key sitting across your shoulder.
锁骨，英文 clavicle，源自拉丁语 'clavicula'（小钥匙），因其形状像一把老式钥匙。想象一把钥匙横放在你的肩膀处。
The scapula is the shoulder blade. It looks like a flat spade or spatula; 'scapula' sounds like 'spatula', a kitchen tool with a flat, blade-like surface.
肩胛骨，英语 scapula，形状像扁平的铲子。'scapula' 发音类似 'spatula'（锅铲），都是扁平的片状工具。
The femur is the thigh bone, the longest and strongest bone in the body. Think of 'fe' as the chemical symbol for iron (Fe), which is strong and weight-bearing, just like this bone.
股骨是大腿骨，全身最长最坚硬的骨头。把 'fe' 看作铁的元素符号（Fe），铁坚固承重，股骨正是如此。
The ribs form a cage of twelve pairs that protects the heart and lungs, while the vertebrae stack up to form the spine and shield the spinal cord. Use the image of a 'cage' for ribs and a 'stack of coins' for vertebrae.
肋骨共十二对，构成胸廓，保护心脏和肺；椎骨层层叠起形成脊柱，保护脊髓。记肋骨用“笼子”的画面，记椎骨用“一摞硬币”的画面。
Finally, remember the limb bones: the humerus is the upper arm, the tibia is the thicker shin bone that bears weight, the fibula is the thinner one beside it, and the pelvis is the bowl-shaped girdle that links the spine to the legs. 'Pelvis' shares a root with 'pelvis' in Latin meaning 'basin' — picture a basin holding the organs.
最后记住四肢骨：肱骨（humerus）在上臂，胫骨（tibia）是较粗、承重的小腿骨，腓骨（fibula）是旁边较细的那根，骨盆（pelvis）是连接脊柱与下肢的盆状骨环。'Pelvis' 源自拉丁语“盆”，想象一个盆托住内脏。
| Term | 术语 | Memory hook | 记忆钩子 | Meaning | 含义 |
| Cranium | cranial = of the skull | Bone protecting the brain |
| Clavicle | clavicula = little key | Collarbone |
| Scapula | sounds like spatula | Shoulder blade |
| Femur | Fe = iron, strong | Thigh bone |
2. Muscles and Antagonistic Pairs | 肌肉与拮抗肌对
The biceps brachii bends the elbow, and the triceps brachii straightens it. Together they are an antagonistic pair: when one contracts (shortens), the other relaxes (lengthens). Remember the rhythm 'bi bends, tri straightens'.
肱二头肌使肘关节屈，肱三头肌使肘关节伸。二者构成一对拮抗肌：一块收缩（变短）时，另一块放松（变长）。记住口诀“二头弯、三头直”。
The quadriceps at the front of the thigh extends the knee, while the hamstrings at the back flex it. The gastrocnemius (calf muscle) points the toes, and the gluteals extend the hip. Link each muscle to the movement it produces, not just to its position.
大腿前侧的股四头肌使膝关节伸，后侧的腘绳肌使膝关节屈。腓肠肌（小腿肚）使脚尖下压（跖屈），臀肌使髋关节伸。请把每块肌肉与它产生的动作绑定记忆，而不只是记住它的位置。
Muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and bones are joined to other bones by ligaments. Mnemonic: 'Tendon joins muscle To bone; Ligament Links bone to bone.' The 'T' in tendon stands for 'to bone'.
肌肉通过肌腱（tendon）附着在骨上，骨与骨之间由韧带（ligament）连接。助记：'Tendon joins muscle To bone; Ligament Links bone to bone.' 肌腱的 T 代表“附着到骨”。
There are three muscle types: skeletal (voluntary, striated, used for movement), smooth (involuntary, found in the walls of organs such as the stomach) and cardiac (involuntary, found only in the heart). Use 'SSC' — Skeletal for Sport, Smooth for organs, Cardiac for the heart.
肌肉分三类：骨骼肌（随意肌、有横纹，负责运动）、平滑肌（不随意肌，位于胃等器官壁内）、心肌（不随意肌，仅存在于心脏）。可用 'SSC' 记忆：Skeletal 用于运动，Smooth 用于器官，Cardiac 属于心脏。
3. Joints and Movement Terminology | 关节类型与动作术语
A hinge joint allows movement in one plane only, like a door opening and closing. The elbow and the knee are hinge joints. A ball-and-socket joint allows movement in all planes, including rotation — the shoulder and the hip. A pivot joint allows rotation only, as in the neck, and a gliding joint allows small sliding movements, as between the bones of the wrist.
铰链关节只允许在一个平面内运动，像门开合一样，肘和膝属于此类。球窝关节允许各方向运动并包括旋转，肩和髋属于此类。车轴关节只允许旋转，如颈部；滑动关节允许小幅滑动，如腕骨之间。
Flexion decreases the angle at a joint (bending), and extension increases it (straightening). Trick: 'flex' sounds like 'fold' — folding the arm is flexion.
屈（flexion）减小关节角度，即弯曲；伸（extension）增大关节角度，即伸直。技巧：'flex' 听上去像“折叠”，把手臂折起来就是屈。
from the midline of the body, and adduction brings it back towards the midline. Mnemonic: 'Abduct = take Away; Adduct = Add back to the body.'
外展（abduction）使肢体远离身体中线，内收（adduction）使肢体回到中线。助记：'Abduct = take Away（拿走）；Adduct = Add back（加回来）。'
Rotation is turning a bone around its own axis, and circumduction is a full circular movement that combines flexion, extension, abduction and adduction, as when you swing your arm in a circle. At the ankle, plantar flexion points the toes down and dorsiflexion pulls them up towards the shin. Picture 'planting' your toes into the ground.
旋转（rotation）是骨绕自身轴转动；环转（circumduction）是屈、伸、外展、内收组合成的整圆动作，例如手臂画圈。踝关节处，跖屈（plantar flexion）使脚尖下压，背屈（dorsiflexion）使脚尖向上朝胫骨靠。想象把脚尖“种”进地里。
4. Components of Fitness | 健身（体能）组成要素
Health-related components are cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and body composition. Skill-related components are agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time and speed. Keep them in two mental boxes: 'health box' and 'skill box'.
健康相关要素包括心血管耐力、肌肉耐力、肌肉力量、柔韧性和身体成分；技能相关要素包括敏捷性、平衡、协调、爆发力、反应时间和速度。把它们分装进两个心理盒子：“健康盒”和“技能盒”。
Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles for a long period — a marathon runner needs it. Muscular endurance is a muscle working repeatedly without tiring, while muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can produce in one effort.
心血管耐力是心肺在长时间内为工作肌群供氧的能力，马拉松运动员正需要它。肌肉耐力是肌肉反复工作而不疲劳的能力，而肌肉力量是肌肉一次用力能产生的最大力量。
ower = strength × speed ÷ time in many textbook versions), and agility is the ability to change direction quickly while keeping control.
柔韧性是关节可实现的活动幅度；身体成分是脂肪与去脂体重的比例。爆发力结合力量与速度（许多教材写作：爆发力 = 力量 × 速度 ÷ 时间），敏捷性则是在保持控制的前提下快速改变方向的能力。
Balance keeps the body stable, coordination links the senses with movement, and reaction time is how quickly you respond to a stimulus, such as a starter's gun. Mnemonic for the skill box: 'ABC-PRS' — Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power, Reaction time, Speed.
平衡使身体稳定，协调把感觉与动作连接起来，反应时间是你对刺激（如发令枪）作出反应的速度。技能盒助记：'ABC-PRS'——敏捷、平衡、协调、爆发力、反应时间、速度。
5. Heart Rate and Cardiac Terms | 心率与心脏相关术语
Heart rate (HR) is the number of times the heart beats per minute, measured in bpm. Resting heart rate (RHR) for a healthy teenager is usually between 60 and 80 bpm, and trained athletes often have a lower figure because their heart is stronger.
心率（HR）是心脏每分钟跳动的次数，单位为 bpm（次/分）。健康青少年安静心率（RHR）通常为 60 至 80 次/分，训练有素的运动员往往更低，因为他们的心脏更强健。
Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle in one beat, measured in cm³ or ml. Cardiac output (Q) is the volume pumped in one minute. The relationship is:
每搏输出量（SV）是左心室每次搏动泵出的血量，单位为 cm³ 或 ml。心输出量（Q）是每分钟泵出的血量。二者关系为：
Q = SV × HR
Thus cardiac output equals stroke volume multiplied by heart rate, so if either factor rises, cardiac output rises too.
也就是说，心输出量等于每搏输出量乘以心率，因此任一因素升高，心输出量都会随之升高。
Maximum heart rate is estimated as 220 minus age, and the training zone is normally 60% to 80% of that maximum — the range where aerobic training is most effective. Mnemonic: '220 − age, then take 60–80%.'
最大心率通常用 220 减去年龄来估算，训练区一般为最大心率的 60% 至 80%，这一区间内进行有氧训练效果最佳。助记：'220 − 年龄，再取 60–80%。'
6. Breathing, Energy Systems and Recovery | 呼吸、能量系统与恢复
Inspiration (breathing in) brings oxygen into the lungs, and expiration (breathing out) removes carbon dioxide. Tidal volume is the amount of air moved in or out in one normal breath, and vital capacity is the largest volume you can expel after a full breath in.
吸气（inspiration）把氧气带入肺中，呼气（expiration）排出二氧化碳。潮气量（tidal volume）是一次平静呼吸进出的空气量，肺活量（vital capacity）则是深吸气后所能呼出的最大气量。
Aerobic exercise uses oxygen and can be sustained for a long time at a moderate intensity, for example jogging. Anaerobic exercise works without enough oxygen, is short and intense, for example a 100 m sprint, and leads to a build-up of lactic acid, which causes muscle fatigue.
有氧运动利用氧气，强度中等，可持续较长时间，如慢跑。无氧运动在供氧不足的情况下进行，时间短、强度大，如 100 米冲刺，会产生乳酸堆积，导致肌肉疲劳。
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
This is the word equation for aerobic respiration — worth memorising word for word for exam questions.
这是有氧呼吸的文字表达式，考试题目中值得逐字背下来。
EPOC stands for excess post-exercise oxygen consumption — delayed onset muscle soreness, the stiffness felt 24 to 48 hours after hard training. Link 'EPOC = Extra Post-exercise Oxygen' and 'DOMS = Delayed Onset, Delayed soreness'.
EPOC 指运动后过量氧耗，即运动后额外摄入的氧气，用来偿还氧债并清除乳酸。DOMS 指延迟性肌肉酸痛，是剧烈训练后 24 至 48 小时出现的僵硬感。记法：'EPOC = Extra Post-exercise Oxygen（运动后额外摄氧）'；'DOMS = Delayed Onset, Delayed soreness（延迟出现、延迟酸痛）'。
7. Principles of Training | 训练原则
The principles of training are often remembered as SPORT: Specificity, Progressive overload, Reversibility, Tedium (or Recovery). Specificity means training must match the demands of your sport; progressive overload means gradually increasing the demands so the body adapts.
训练原则常用 SPORT 记忆：Specificity（专项性）、Progressive overload（渐进超负荷）、Reversibility（可逆性）、Tedium（枯燥性，也可替换为 Recovery 恢复）。专项性指训练必须符合项目需求；渐进超负荷指逐步提高要求，使身体产生适应。
Reversibility means that if you stop training, the fitness gains are lost — often phrased as 'use it or lose it'. Recovery means rest days are part of the programme, because adaptation happens while you rest, not while you train.
可逆性指一旦停止训练，已获得的体能就会消退，常被表述为“用进废退”。恢复指休息日也是训练计划的一部分，因为身体的适应发生在休息期间，而不是训练期间。
The FITT principle describes how to apply overload: Frequency (how often), Intensity (how hard), Time (how long) and Type (what method). Overload without recovery can cause overtraining, and a plateau is when progress stalls despite continued training.
FITT 原则说明如何应用超负荷：Frequency 频率（多久练一次）、Intensity 强度（练多狠）、Time 时间（练多久）、Type 类型（用什么方法）。只加负荷而不恢复会造成过度训练；高原期则是指持续训练但成绩停滞不前。
Mnemonic sentence for the whole set: 'Sport Specific People Really Train' — Specificity, Progressive overload, Reversibility, Tedium, and it reminds you that FITT sits on top.
整套原则的助记句：'Sport Specific People Really Train'，对应专项性、渐进超负荷、可逆性、枯燥性，同时提醒你 FITT 是它的操作层。
8. Training Methods Vocabulary | 训练方法相关词汇
Continuous training is steady work at moderate intensity without rest, ideal for cardiovascular endurance. Interval training alternates bursts of high intensity with recovery periods, and is excellent for speed and anaerobic fitness.
持续训练是不间断的中等强度稳定练习，最适合发展心血管耐力。间歇训练在高强度冲刺与恢复期之间交替，对速度和糖酵解（无氧）供能能力十分有效。
Circuit training moves through a series of stations targeting different muscle groups with short rest, so it develops several components of fitness at once. Fartlek means 'speed play' in Swedish — continuous running with random changes of pace, great for cross-country runners.
循环训练依次完成多个针对不同肌群的站点，中间休息很短，因此能同时发展多种体能要素。法特莱克（fartlek）在瑞典语中意为“速度游戏”，即连续跑动并随机变换配速，非常适合越野跑者。
Weight training uses resistance (free weights, machines or body weight) to develop strength, muscular endurance or power, depending on the load and repetitions. Plyometrics uses jumping and bounding movements to build explosive power.
重量训练利用阻力（自由重量、器械或自身体重）发展力量、肌肉耐力或爆发力，具体取决于负荷和重复次数。超等长训练（plyometrics）通过跳跃、弹跳类动作发展爆发力。
Flexibility training includes static stretching (holding a position still), dynamic stretching (controlled movement through the range) and PNF, which uses alternating contraction and relaxation. Cool-down routines normally use static stretches held for around 15 to 30 seconds.
柔韧训练包括静态拉伸（保持姿势不动）、动态拉伸（在活动范围内做受控动作）以及 PNF（本体感觉神经肌肉促进法，交替收缩与放松）。放松活动通常采用静态拉伸，每处保持约 15 至 30 秒。
9. Data, Testing and Assessment Terms | 数据、测试与评估术语
Qualitative data describes the quality of a performance in words, such as 'the pass was accurate but slow'. Quantitative data is numerical, such as 'the pass took 1.2 seconds'. Mnemonic: 'Quality = words, Quantity = numbers.'
定性数据用文字描述动作质量，例如“这次传球准确但偏慢”。定量数据是数字，例如“这次传球用了 1.2 秒”。助记：'Quality = words（质量用文字），Quantity = numbers（数量用数字）。'
Objective data is measured by an instrument and is not influenced by opinion, for example a stopwatch reading. Subjective data relies on personal judgement, for example a coach's rating of technique out of 10.
客观数据由仪器测量，不受主观意见影响，例如秒表读数。主观数据依赖个人判断，例如教练给技术打分的十分制评分。
Validity means the test measures what it claims to measure; reliability means the test gives consistent results when repeated. A baseline measurement is the first score you record, used as a comparison point for later tests.
效度（validity）指测试确实测量了它声称要测的东西；信度（reliability）指重复测试能得到一致结果。基线测量是你记录的第一个数据，用作后续测试的对照点。
Fitness tests you should be able to name include the 12-minute Cooper run (cardiovascular endurance), the sit-and-reach test (flexibility), the vertical jump (power) and grip dynamometer (strength). Linking a test to a component is a common exam demand, so learn them in pairs.
你需要能说出的体能测试包括：12 分钟库珀跑（心血管耐力）、坐位体前屈（柔韧性）、纵跳（爆发力）和握力计（力量）。考试常要求把测试与体能要素连线配对，所以成对记忆最有效。
10. Physical Literacy, Warm-Up and Cool-Down | 体育素养、热身与放松
Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, competence, knowledge and understanding that allow a person to take part in physical activity for life. Mnemonic: 'MCKK' — Motivation, Confidence, Competence, Knowledge.
体育素养是一个人终身参与体育活动所需的动机、自信、能力、知识与理解。助记 'MCKK'：Motivation 动机、Confidence 自信、Competence 能力、Knowledge 知识。
A warm-up has three phases: a pulse raiser, dynamic stretches, and skill-related preparation. It raises muscle temperature, increases blood flow and reduces the risk of injury. A cool-down returns the heart rate gradually to normal and helps remove lactic acid.
热身分三个阶段：提升心率的活动、动态拉伸、与技能相关的准备活动。热身能升高肌肉温度、增加血流并降低受伤风险。放松活动使心率逐渐回到安静水平，并有助于清除乳酸。
Related safety and etiquette terms include personal protective equipment (PPE), rules and regulations, sportsmanship, and fair play. Being able to define sportsmanship — respecting opponents, officials and the rules even when losing — is frequently worth marks.
相关的安全与礼仪术语包括个人防护装备（PPE）、规则与条例、体育精神（sportsmanship）和公平竞赛。能定义体育精神——即使输了球也尊重对手、裁判和规则——往往是得分点。
Also learn the term 'lifestyle' factors: diet, sleep, hydration, smoking and alcohol all affect performance. Mnemonic: 'DSHA' — Diet, Sleep, Hydration, Alcohol avoidance.
还要掌握生活方式因素：饮食、睡眠、补水、吸烟和饮酒都会影响运动表现。助记 'DSHA'：饮食、睡眠、补水、远离酒精。
11. Quick Memorization Techniques and Revision Plan | 速记技巧与复习计划
The most reliable technique from cognitive science is retrieval practice: instead of re-reading notes, close the book and write down every term you can remember, then check what you missed. This strengthens memory far more than highlighting.
认知科学中最可靠的方法是提取练习：不要反复读笔记，而是合上书，写下你能想起的所有术语，再对照检查漏掉的。这比划重点更能巩固记忆。
Spaced repetition means reviewing the same list at growing intervals — day 1, day 3, day 7, day 14. Combine it with flashcards that have the term on one side and the definition plus your mnemonic on the other.
间隔重复是指在逐渐拉长的时间间隔上复习同一份清单——第 1 天、第 3
