Cardio Fitness Training Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory fitness
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to provide the body with oxygen during activity
ADL activities of daily living
The fundamentals task needed to manage basic self-help activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and feeding and homemaking
Five components of fitness
Muscular Strength
Muscular Endurance
Flexibility
Body Composition
Cardiorespiratory fitness
Rate of progression
The process and speed from which frequency, intensity, time and type are increased
Adherence
The level of commitment to a behavior or plan of action
Morbidity
The state of having a disease
Mortality
A state or risk of death on dying
FITTE VP Principle
Frequency, Intensity , Type, Time, Enjoyment, Volume and Progression
FREQUENCY
The number of trainings sessions in a give time frame
INTENSITY
The level of demand placed on the body by a given activity
Moderate - Intensity Aerobic activity
At least 5 days a week - 150 minutes per week
Vigorous Intensity Aerobic
At least 3 day per week - 75 minutes per week
Combination Moderate and High Intensity Aerobic
3-5 days per week-
VO2Max
The maximal volume of oxygen consumed per kg of body weight per minute
Maximal Heart Rate- Tanaka Formula
208 - (0.7 x age)
HRR Heart Reserve - Karvonen Method
Consider resting HR - based on the difference between estimated Max HR and Resting HR
(HR max - HR rest) x desired intensity + HR rest = Target HR
Talk Test
An aerobic test that measure the ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at various intensity levels
MET
3.5 milliliters of oxygen consumed per kg per minute ( amount of oxygen consumed by an individual at rest)
Rate of Perceived Exertion
Subjective measure of how hard a person feels they are working
Ventilatory Threshold ( T vent)
The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake signifying a switch from aerobic to anaerobic energy production
Ventilatory Threshold 1 (VT1)
The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources
TIME
The duration an individual is engaged in a given activity
