Aerobic Prescription for Health Flashcards
What should you consider when designing an aerobic prescription?
hx: if they have injuries; frequency, intensity, duration/distance CV/pulmonary health: CVD risk factors Resting HR personal preferences sprints vs long distance availability for sessions goals- peformance/event/timeline other training types social support/hobbies motivation levels
What does the FITT principle consist of for aerobic prescription?
Frequency- how often (days/weeks)
Intensity- how hard ( HRR, %HR, RPE, speed, pace, time)
Time- How long? (duraction, reps/sets, work:rest ratio)
Type- which activity? (continuous, interval, circuit)
What is the optimal dose of PA to reduce risk of chronic disease?
green rectangle guidelines- nothing to something even if not meeting guidelines provides major change.
What are the current PA guidelines(18-64 years)?
should accumulate at least 150 mins of mod-vig intensity aerobic PA per week in bouts of 10 mins or more.
What are the current PA guidelines (65+)?
accumulate 150 mod-vig intensity PA in bouts of 10 mins or more.
What are benefits of accumulating moderate to vigorous intensity in 10 minute bouts?
better for sedentary individuals (low level fitness)
better sense of achievement
good for busy lifestyles
breaks up sedentary time
What are benefits of accumulating moderate to vigorous activity in 30 min bouts?
better for experienced indiviuals
What are cons of accumulating 150mins of mod-vigorous activity over weekend?
something comes up leads to missed workouts
harder to keep CV adaptations
higher injury rate
What are pros and cons of performing 150 mins of near daily PA of 30/day 5days/week?
less shock on body, decreases sedentary time, creates good habits.
what is associated with higher sedentary time?
higher mortality rates
How much activity reduces the association of between sedentary time and risk of death?
30-40mins per day of MVPA
Why would doing only 150 mins of MVPA be optimal for health?
increases optimal health benefits and is better for beginner health
Why would 240-300 mins of MVPA be beneficial?
good for more advanced athletes and increased focus on performance goals
What is the measurement for moderate PA?
3-6 METS
40-60% HRR
12-13RPE
What are benefits of moderate PA?
better for CVD health
What is the measurement for vigorous PA?
> 6 METS
60-85% HRR
14-16(6-8) RPE
What are benefits of vigorous PA?
quicker adaptations for performance
experience/ motivation plays role
What is an example of moderate PA and what is the talk test for it?
brisk walking, short sentences are possible.
What is an example of vigorous activity and what is the talk test?
jogging, 1-2 words can be said.
What is the RPE for moderate activity?
12-13 or 4-5, light would be considered 11 or 3.
What is the RPE for vigorous intensity?
14-16 or 6-8
What are the different ways to measure aerobic intensity?
RPE, % of HR reserve, % VO2 reserve, % HRmax, METs, kcals.
What is % of VO2 reserve?
the difference between resting VO2 and max VO2
