Chapter 15: Lesson 2 Flashcards
Frequency
The number of training sessions in a given timeframe.
Intensity
The level of demand placed on the body by a given activity.
Tanaka formula
A mathematical formula used to estimate an individual’s maximal heart rate: 208 – (0.7 × age).
Target heart rate
A predetermined exercising heart rate.
Talk test
An aerobic test that measures the participant’s ability to talk or hold a conversation during an activity at various intensity levels.
Ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production.
Ventilatory threshold 1 (VT1)
The point at which the body uses an equal mix of carbohydrate and fat as fuel sources.
Time
The duration an individual is engaged in a given activity.
Type
The mode of physical activity in which an individual is engaged.
Overtraining
Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in reduction of performance, which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
An exercise training method defined by intervals of near-maximal intensity broken up by relatively short rest periods.
Steady-state (SS) aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise that remains at a relatively constant intensity, including a stable heart rate and oxygen consumption.
Enjoyment
The amount of pleasure derived from performing a physical activity
Volume
The total amount of work performed in each timeframe, typically 1 week.
Nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)
Energy expenditure through daily activities outside of structured exercise, such as walking, completing household chores, and taking the stairs.
