Chapter 15 Flashcards
Which of the following is considered a benefit of performing a warm-up prior to cardiorespiratory training?
Increased respiratory rate and tissue temperature
If a client is exercising for 150 minutes per week (30 minutes, 5 days per week), then a 10% increase in volume would result in how many minutes total per week?
165 minutes per week
Which of the following statements most accurately reflects ventilatory threshold one (VT1)?
An intensity where continuous talking becomes challenging
From the list of items provided, which of the following are not considered benefits of cardiorespiratory training?
Decreased tolerance for stress and reduced mental alertness
Which of the following phases does not reflect the traditional components of cardiorespiratory training?
Interval phase
What is the recommended frequency for cardiorespiratory training, if participating in vigorous-intensity exercise (e.g., jogging or running)?
At least 3 times a week
How is steady-state aerobic exercise best defined?
Aerobic exercise that remains at a relatively constant intensity, including a stable heart rate and oxygen consumption
What training stage is ideally suited for new exercisers seeking general health-and-fitness improvements, such as reducing their risk for diabetes?
Stage 1
What is a sufficient amount of time for a cardiorespiratory cool-down?
5 to 10 minutes
Which of the following statements regarding true Tabata training is considered accurate?
The total duration of the workout is 4 minutes long and performed at 170% of VO2max.
For an individual training in stage 1, what training volume and frequency would qualify that person to progress to stage 2?
Ability to maintain zone 1 intensity for at least 30 minutes, 3 times per week
How is Fartlek training best described?
Fartlek training targets many different physiological systems by combining different formats into one workout.
Which of the following reflects the characteristics of moderate-intensity exercise?
Ability to talk comfortably during exercise without breathlessness in the average untrained individual
Which of the following describes a benefit of high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
It can produce comparable results to traditional cardio exercise in a compressed period of time with a smaller volume of work.
What is the corresponding heart rate for an intensity scored as 14 on the original Borg 6 to 20 scale of exertion?
140 beats per minute
Which of the following defines the general goal or outcome of training in zone 1?
Develop an appropriate aerobic base
Which of the following markers of exercise intensity is considered to be the most subjective?
Ratings of perceived exertion
Which of the following compensations is most likely considered a predictive factor for developing a knee injury?
Knee valgus
What is the intended outcome of stage 2 training?
To increase the workload (e.g., speed, incline) in a way that helps clients exercise at higher intensities and achieve greater levels of aerobic fitness
Which of the following statements pertaining to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is incorrect?
Measuring intensity by one’s “effort” (a subjective measure) is an accurate measure of intensity.
What type of client is ideally suited for stage 2 training around VT1?
Fitness enthusiasts regularly engaging in physical activity or those seeking further improvements in cardiovascular endurance or weight loss
What do the V and P represent within the FITTE-VP principle for designing cardiorespiratory training?
Volume and progression
What RPE range (on a scale of 1 to 10) aligns with training in zone 2?
An RPE of 5 to 6
Which of the following is considered the gold standard measurement for cardiorespiratory fitness?
VO2max
