44
1 MET = ____ ml kg min of oxygen consumption
3.5
45
considered the amount of oxygen required by the body at rest
metabolic equivalent
46
frequency, intensity, or duration should not increase by more than ___% each week
5-10%
47
progression of intensity should be monitored to prevent ___________
overtraining
48
low intensity training that is longer than race distance at 70% of VO2max, enhances the body's ability to clear lactate
long slow distance training (LSD)
