isotonic exercise
*involves moving of body/joints
*Running, swimming, walking
Isometric exercise
*muscle contraction but no movement- still require energy to perform
*Quadriceps sets , Kegels, Pushing Against a Wall
Isokinetic/Resistive Isometric exercise
muscle movement against resistance- often uses specialized equipment- for example weights, exercise bands, equipment, or against gravity to increase strength
signs of heat exhaustion
*faint/dizzy
*excessive sweating
*cool/pale/clammy skin

*goal is really 150 – 300 minutes week of moderate exercise or 75 – 150 minutes of vigorous exercise
what’s your target heart rate when exercising?
between 50% (low intensity) - 85% (high intensity) of maximum heart rate
how do you figure out what your heart rate should be when exercising at a moderate intensity?
- 220 – age = #
- # x 0.75 = your HR
when on bedrest you lose approximately ______% muscle strength daily
2-3%
