Cardiorespiratory Fitness Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory activity
Sustained physical activities that require the circularory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to muscles- exercise that increases heart rate for at least 20 minutes
Target heart rate zone
A range from 50% to 85% of a person’s maximum heart rate; the exercise intensity that gains the maximum training benefits from an aerobic workout
Blood
Brings each cell the oxygen and nutrients it needs to survive while removing waste products
Muslces
Use oxygen for energy production, producing carbon dioxide in the process
Heart
Pumps continuously to keep blood flowing through all of the blood vessels in the body
Healthy diet and exercise
Keep the heart healthy
Aerobic activity
“With oxygen”
Muscles use oxygen to break down glucose as an energy source
I.e.Long duration endurance activities longer than 2 minutes - cycling, walking
Anaerobic activity
“Without oxygen”
Muscles rely on other energy sources
I.e. Short and intense activities under 2 minutes - sprinting, max weight lifting
Cariorespiratory activities include
Running, cycling, swimming, dancing, walking briskly, paddle boarding, doggy-paddling, spin class, mowing he lawn, cross country skiing, rowing, elliptical machine, roller blading
Resting heart rate
the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute while at complete rest
Arteries used to measure heart rate
Radial (wrist) and carotid (neck)
Technology to monitor heart rate
Built-in sensors
Wrst monitor
Chest straps
All-inclusive
Built-in sensor
On treadmills and other cardio machines on handles or side rails
Wrist monitors
Monitor heart rate and steps
Chest straps
Can work in coordination with wrist monitors to measure heart rate and track THRZ
