Cardiorespiratory Training

Question 1

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Answer 1

the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity

Question 2

Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training

Answer 2

cardiorespiratory training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiologic, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system

Question 3

General Warm-Up

Answer 3

low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow

Question 4

Specific Warm-Up

Answer 4

low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow

Question 5

Frequency

Answer 5

the number of training sessions in a given timeframe

Question 6

Intensity

Answer 6

the level of demand that a given activity places on the body

Question 7

Ventilatory Threshold

Answer 7

the point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production

Question 8

Time

Answer 8

length of time engaged in activity

Question 9

Type

Answer 9

type or mode of physical activity that an individual is engaged in

Question 10

Enjoyment

Answer 10

amount of pleasure derived from performing a physical activity

Question 11

Overtraining

Answer 11

excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in fatigue

Question 12

Stage Training

Answer 12

ensure that cardiorespiratory training programs progress in an organized fashion to ensure continual adaptation and to minimize risk of overtraining

Question 13

Stage I

Answer 13

improve cardio fitness levels in apparently healthy sedentary clients

Question 14

Stage I Target Heart Rate

Answer 14

65-75% of HR max

12-13 perceived exertion

Question 15

Stage II

Answer 15

low-to-moderate cardiorespiratory fitness, increasing workload to help alter heart rate in and out of zone one and two, increase cardiorespiratory capacity needed for strength level
intro to interval training
5-10 min warm up in zone 1
1 minute in zone 2
3 minutes in zone 1
repeat if client can recover
5-10 min cool down in zone 2
alternate days of week with stage 1 training

Question 16

Stage II Target Heart Rate

Answer 16

65-75% for zone 1

76-85% for zone 2

Question 17

Stage III

Answer 17

advanced client, moderately high cardiorespiratory fitness, increasing workload, power level
10 min warm up zone 1
increase workload every 1 min until reaching zone 3 (slow climb through zone 2 for 2 mins)
1 minute in zone 3
1 minute break in zone 2
1 minute in zone 3
5-10 min cool down in zone 1
rotate all three stages

Question 18

Rounded Shoulder or Forward Head Considerations

Answer 18

watch for rounded shoulders and protruding head on bicycles treadmills and elliptical

grasping handles on steppers and treadmills

excessive cervical extension or rotation of head when looking at TV

Question 19

Anterior Tilt LCS Considerations

Answer 19

bicycles and steppers may not be good, emphasize flexibility for hip flexors

control treadmill speed to avoid overstriding

Question 20

Turn Out of Knees Move In Considerations

Answer 20

cardio machines that involves lower extremities require proper flexibility of the ankle joint

treadmill and steppers that require climbing or aerobics class may be too extreme
