Ch. 15 Cardiorespiratory Fitness Training Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory fitness
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to provide the body with oxygen during activity.
Activities of daily living (ADL)
The fundamental tasks needed to manage basic self-care activities, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation and feeding, and homemaking.
The five components of fitness include
Cardiorespiratory (aerobic) fitness
Muscular strength
Muscular endurance
Flexibility
Body composition
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 a risk of death or dying.

Talk test
An aerobic test that measures the participant’s ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at various intensity levels.
Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
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.
Ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)
.
The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources
