ch. 16 aerobic endur train prog design Flashcards
components of an aerobic exercise program 4
mode
intensity
frequency
duration
this describes what exercise activity will be performed
mode
equipment availability, personal preference, the clients ability to perform the exercise, and the clients goals should all be considered before selecting this
exercise mode
this aspect of exercise sessions are the main determinant of both exercise frequency and training duration
intensity
This must be ascertained before the frequency and duration of the exercise sessions are determined
level of intensity required to reach the clients goal
the difference between the clients age predicted maximal HR and their resting HR
heart rate reserve
the use of this has been determined as an acceptable method of determining exercise intensity
HRR
percent of HRR needed to reach the aerobic exercise threshold for most individuals is
50-85%
HR closely mirrors this
VO2
error associated with the age predicted maximal heart rate
+/- 10 to 15 bpm
This is the exception to using the APMHR equation
when clients are taking medications such as beta-blockers that blunt the hearts response to exercise
Two methods for determining intensity based on HRmax
% APMHR
%HRR
55 to 75 % of VO2 max approximates to this % range of APMRH, and provides the lower and upper limits of exercise heart rate needed for improving cardio respiratory function
70-85%
In very deconditoined individuals this range of APMHR is most appropriate
55-65%
THR=
APMHR x exercise intensity
Best time to measure resting heart rate
in the morning upon waking, but before getting out of bed
HRR =
APMHR - RHR
HRR method of determining the right and low end of the THR
(HRR x 0.5 to 0.85) + RHR
Benefit of the HRR over the %APMHR
it is specific to the client, since it takes into account their individual RHR
exercise intensity range for the HRR method
50%-85%
Major drawback of the RPE scale
most people will never know what the max rating feels like to compare their current effort against
RPE is useful in this case
when traditional methods of determining effort such as HR cannot be used due to medications
any given MET level is an indication of this
how many times harder the activity is to do more than resting
How to determine the max MET level of a client
graded exercise test to determine VO2max and divide that by 3.5
What is the surgeon generals suggestion for aerobic exercises
all people over 2 YO should get 30 min on most, but preferably all days
This is the suggested frequency for aerobic exercise
2-5 days per week for general fitness goals
Exercise sessions of long duration and high intensity require a longer this, than do short duration and low intensity sessions
recovery (rest) period
how long the exercise session lasts
duration
If the time constraints prevent a client from dedicating a block of time large enough to meet exercise duration needs, or the client is very deconditioned, this type of exercise duration can be substituted
intermittent exercise
Exercise duration has this relationship with exercise intensity
inverse
two distinct types of aerobic training programs
improvement and maintenance
As a general rule, increases in frequency, intensity, or duration should be limited to this
10%
In order to maintain aerobic capacity the client should do this
exercise no less than 2 times a week, at the same duration, and intensity (most important) as during the improvement stage
This can increase motivation during a maintenance phase
changing the mode
most important aspect of designing an endurance training program
goal of the client
a good indicator of proper intensity during long slow distance training is this
the client can carry on a conversation, not speaking at length, but able to talk without becoming short of breath
Improving the anaerobic? threshold, developing endurance in supporting muscles, fat utilization with corresponding glycogen sparing
long slow distance
During long slow distance training the session should be terminated when one of these occur
client runs out of energy
clients HR begins to increase without an increase in workload
For clients who wish to improve their cardiorespiratory endurance and who are capable of working at the highest percentages of the HR range, this can help improve VO2max
pace/tempo training
This type of training allows clients to train for short periods of time at their goal pace, which will be higher than their current pace
pace/tempo training
This type of training generally lasts 20-30 min and requires the client to exercise at their lactate threshold
pace/tempo training
this involves work outs of 3-5 minutes with rest periods of 30 to 90 seconds repeated until the pace cannot be maintained
intermittent pace/tempo training
