Analyzing Physiological Indicators Flashcards
These are those signs that are physiologic in nature or have to do with bodily processes.
Physiological indicators
What are the 4 physiological indicators?
Heart Rate
Maximal Heart Rate (MHR)
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
Pace & Pacing
Phys Indicators. AKA pulse rate, this is the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute.
Heart Rate
What are the major arteries that are easy to locate (to find pulse count)?
Radial Artery -> Radial Pulse (sa baba ng base of thumb / sa baba ng palm)
Carotid Artery -> Carotid Pulse (below the side of the jaw)
Phys Indicators. Maximum number of beats of heart in one (1) minute of effort.
Maximal Heart Rate (MHR)
Formula for MHR.
MHR = 220 - age
What are the other 3 types of heart rate?
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
Target Heart Rate (THR)
Types of HR. The number of heart beats per minute when at REST.
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Types of HR. The difference between Resting and Maximum Heart Rate. Used to determine heart rate zones during exercise.
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
Types of HR. The minimum number of heartbeats
in a given amount of time to reach the level of exertion needed for cardiovascular fitness, specific to a person’s age, gender, or physical fitness.
Target Heart Rate (THR)
Steps/Formulas for THR:
- Get Maximal HR = 220 - age
- Check your Resting HR in the evening after a short rest.
- Get Heart Rate Reserve = MHR - RHR
- Calculate training intensity at 60% & 85%
-> 60% training intensity = HRR * 0.60
-> 85% training intensity = HRR * 0.85 - Add RHR to the training intensities
a. THR = 60% train inten + RHR
b. THR = 85% train inten + RHR
The THR is the range of a. to b.
Phys Indicators. This is an assessment of the intensity of exercise based on how you feel.
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
Phys Indicators. Refers to the rate or speed of doing phys act.
