Abstract
Science applied to physical activity and sport is relatively recent and has yet to standardize its vocabulary in some areas of
knowledge. Establishing an agreed and unambiguous terminology in relation to strength training is essential for professionals
working in exercise and human body science. It is crucial to draw up unambiguous terminology in this area of high-impact social
action. The right to free movement of people across European Union member states and globalization in general also calls for
knowledge of bodybuilding terminology in other languages. The following paper is the second in a series of four and presents
the most common internal and external shoulder rotation, shoulder lifting, elbow flexor, elbow extensor and wrist flexor and
extensor exercises in Spanish, Catalan and English. It is designed to be a wide-ranging basis for definitions for other exercises.
