Define Individualization…
A program must be made to accomodate everyones individual needs
Define Maintenance
When you achieve a level of fitness it’s possible to maintain it with less work than was needed to attain it.
What are the primary components of fitness

What is EPOC?
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.
Why is EPOC necessary for recovery?
It aids in the recovery of anaerobic and aerobic metabolism, ATP & CP replenishment, tissue repair, replenishing O2 supplies in the body.

1:3 - 1:6
What is the work to rest ratio when training the Glycolytic system?
1:2 - 1:5
What is the work to rest ratio when training the Oxidative system?
1:.05 - 1:1
When training the ATP - CP and Oxidative systems what type of relief is used?
Rest relief
When is work relief used?
When training the glycolytic system
What is the function of the respiratory system?
Adds O2 and removes C02 from the blood
what is the function of the circulatory system?
Transports 02, c02 and nutrients to and from body tissues
What is the average heart rate and BP?
72 BPM & 120/80
What is the order that blood enters and exits the heart?
Right atrium - right ventricle - pulmonary artery - lungs - pulmonary vein - left atrium - left ventricle - aorta - body.
What is stroke volume?
The amount of blood the left ventricle ejects in one beat
What is the average stroke volume?
70ML
What is cardiac output and what is the formula?
The amount of blood the heart ejects in one minute.
Q = SV x HR
Name 3 benefits of Cardio-respiratory training.

What is the percentage range for the target training zone?
55% - 90% hrmax
what is the HRR formula?
{(hrmax - resting hr) x%} + resting hr = Target hr
What is the percentage range when calculating HRR?
50% - 85%
What are the 3 functions of the skeletal system?
- Protect vital organs
- A reservoir for calcium and phosphate
- Provides attachments for muscles.
