5.15 Cardiorespiratory Training Concepts Flashcards
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to provide the body with oxygen during activity.
Cardiorespiratory fitness
The fundamental tasks needed to manage basic self-care activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and feeding, and homemaking.
activities of daily living (ADL)
The five components of fitness include the following:
Cardiorespiratory (aerobic) fitness Muscular strength Muscular endurance Flexibility Body composition
The process and speed from which frequency, intensity, time, and type are increased.
rate of progression
The level of commitment to a behavior or plan of action.
adherence
FITTE-VP stands for
frequency intensity type time enjoyment volume progression
The number of training sessions in a given timeframe.
frequency
The level of demand placed on the body by a given activity.
intensity
methods for monitoring cardiorespiratory exercise intensity include
- calculating VO2max
- using percentages of maximal heart rate (HRmax)
- percentages of heart rate reserve (HRR)
- metabolic equivalents (METs)
- ratings of perceived exertion (RPE)
- the talk test.
VO2max
The traditional gold standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness is VO2max,
often expressed as the maximal volume of oxygen consumed per kilogram of body weight per minute (mL/kg per min).
In other words, VO2max is the maximal amount of oxygen that an individual can use during intense exercise
HRmax (maximal heart rate)
HRmax is determined using the following formula: 208 – (0.7 × age)
A predetermined exercising heart rate.
target heart rate
HEART RATE RESERVE
HRR
also known as the Karvonen method, is a method of establishing a client’s target heart rate based on the difference between a client’s estimated HRmax and their resting heart rate
The heart rate reserve formula is defined as follows:
[(HRmax – HRrest) × desired intensity] + HRrest = Target heart rate
METABOLIC EQUIVALENT
In other words, this represents the amount of oxygen used by an individual at true rest.
One MET is equal to 3.5 milliliters of oxygen consumed per kilogram of body weight per minute (3.5 mL O2 · kg^–1 · min^–1) or the equivalent of the average resting metabolic rate for adults.
RATINGS OF PERCEIVED EXERTION METHOD
RPE is a technique used to validate how hard a client feels they are working during exercise (subjective to client)
2 scales
- The Borg 6 to 20 is the standard
- 1-10 scale NASM recommended
talk test
An aerobic test that measures the participant’s ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at various intensity levels.
The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production.
Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources.
ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)
When clients can speak comfortably, they are typically exercising below the intensity VT1
