Ch 8 Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory fitness
The ability of the circulatory and the respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity
Overtraining
Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in fatigue (which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery)
Specific warm up
Low intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow
Intensity
The level of demand that a given activity places on the body
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)
The highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion
Type
The type or mode of physical activity that an individual is engaged in
Enjoyment
The amount of pleasure derived from performing a physical activity
Integrated cardiorespiratory training
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
Time
The length of time an individual is engaged in physical activity
Oxygen uptake reserve (VO2R)
The difference between resting and maximal or peak oxygen consumption
Frequency
The number of training sessions in a given timeframe
Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominantly aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production
General warm up
Low intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow
