Q

An aerobic test that measures the cardiovascular fitness of an individual based on a 3-minute bout of stair-stepping at a specific cadence

A

YMCA 3-minute step test

35
Q

The number of heartbeats measured after exercise ceases, which provides some indication of an individual’s fitness level (i.e. more conditioned people recover more rapidly)

A

Recovery heart rate (RHR)

36
Q

An aerobic test for deconditioned individuals or those of low fitness levels in which they are instructed to walk as fast as possible and have their pulse taken immediately after completing 1 mile

A

Rockport walk test

37
Q

An aerobic test that measures cardiorespiratory endurance by having the participant cover the distance of 1.5 miles in as short as time as possible

38
Q

An aerobic test that measures the participant’s ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at various intensity levels

Talk Test

39
Q

The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources

A

Ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)

40
Q

Any stage at which the physiological response of heart rate from the cardiovascular system becomes relatively constant in relation to the amount of work being performed (i.e. the heart rate response matches the level of work being performed)

A

Steady-state (SS) heart rate

41
Q

The point where glucose provides nearly all of the energy for the activity

A

Ventilatory threshold 2 (VT2)

42
Q

Energy systems used to perform work in which glycogen is converted to glucose and oxygen is insufficient to break down pyruvate and create adenosine triphosphate

A

Anaerobic energy systems
