VO2max

25
Q

What weekly progression rate in exercise volume is the maximum recommended for cardiorespiratory training?

10% per week

26
Q

What type of client would ideally participate in stage 4 training?

Advanced clients with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, seeking improvements in anaerobic capacity and power

27
Q

How is VT1 identified when using the talk test during a cardio workout?

A

Continuous talking becomes challenging

28
Q

Which of the following is not considered a component of fitness?

Power

29
Q

Which of the following does not meet the criteria for exercise or activity to be considered aerobic?

A

The exercise is intense.

30
Q

What is the Tanaka formula, which is used to estimate an individual’s maximal heart rate?

A

208 - (0.7 x age)

31
Q

What rate of oxygen utilization defines one metabolic equivalent (MET), a value representing the amount of oxygen utilized at true rest?

A

3.5 mL/kg/min

32
Q

Which of the following statements is considered to be most accurate?

A

An individual’s cardiorespiratory fitness level is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality.

Q

What is the recommendation of minutes per week for cardiorespiratory training, if participating in vigorous-intensity exercise (e.g., jogging or running)?

A

75 minutes per week

34
Q

Identify a movement limitation for an individual who walks or runs on a treadmill if he or she presents with an anterior pelvic tilt.

A

Limitations to hip extension may require hyperextension in the low-back, placing increased stress on the low-back.

35
Q

What does the acronym FITTE-VP, used to design aerobic (cardio) programs, represent?

A

Frequency, intensity, type, time, enjoyment, volume, progression

Q

What duration does the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) typically recommend for the cardiorespiratory portion of the warm-up?

A

Between 5 and 10 minutes

39
Q

How is ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1) best defined?

A

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

Q

Which of the following is considered a component of NEAT?

Q

How is nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) best defined?

Energy expenditure through daily activities outside of structured exercise, such as walking, completing household chores, and taking the stairs

44
Q

What ideally should follow a day of high-intensity training in stage 3?

A

A stage 1 day (recovery day) should follow a hard stage 3 training day.

45
Q

In what training zone would you be exercising at a vigorous to very hard intensity, where talking is limited to infrequent, short phrases?

A

Zone 3

46
Q

In which training stage would you utilize work intervals performed just above VT1 and recovery intervals performed below VT1?

A

Stage 2 training

47
Q

What is one advantage of using the Karvonen method (heart rate reserve or HRR) to calculate training heart rates, versus percentage of maximal heart rate (HRmax)?

A

It accommodates for discrepancies in resting heart rate.

48
Q

Which postural deviation is most likely to negatively impact ventilation?

A

Rounded shoulders and a forward head posture

49
Q

How is a general warm-up best defined?

A

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise immediately following.
