-
Turbulent flow
Irregular movement of a fluid with movement varying at any fixed point. Rushing or uneven flow of blood in a vessel, usually caused by a partial obstruction. A movement of gas in disorderly currents, associated with high velocity and high density with increased tubing diameter.
-
Turbulence
Disturbed or disrupted water flow.
-
True resting heart rate
Heart rate taken in the morning for three consecutive days (after waking but before rising) and then averaged.
-
Transverse plane
The imaginary horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower halves. A plane at right angles to the sagittal plane, running horizontally across the body.
-
Transtheoretical model
Readiness for change. With five stages, the model is intended to explain or predict a person’s success or failure in achieving a proposed behavior change, such as developing different habits.
-
Transitional deep-water training
A training format that provides an option for suspended training in transitional depths (water too shallow for traditional deep-water exercise and too deep for traditional shallow-water exercise). Both suspended moves and movements touching the bottom are possible and appropriate cues must be given for safety and form.
-
Transitional cue
A verbal or nonverbal instruction to make a change in activity or direction.
-
Transition move
One of the three categories of transitions for deep-water exercise, this involves putting a simple movement (typically a knee-high jog) between two moves to make the transition more fluid.
