23
Q

nonresponders

A

individuals who exhibit small or no improvements in fitness as a result of exercise training

24
Q

principle of individuality

A

training concept holding that genetics plays a major role in individual responses to exercise training and these differences must be considered when designing exercise programs for different people

25
Q

physical activity

A

bodily movements produced by skeletal muscles, which require the expenditure of energy and produces progressive health benefits.

26
Q

exercise

A

type of physical activity that requires planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movement with the intent of improving or maintaining one or more components of fitness

27
Q

maximal heart rate

A

highest heart rate for a person, related primarily to age

28
Q

arterial-venous oxygen difference

A

a-vO2diff - amount of oxygen removed from the blood as determined by the difference in oxygen content between arterial and venous blood

29
Q

5 exercise tests used to assess CR fitness

A

1.5 mile run test
1.0 mile walk test
step test
Astrand-Ryhming test
12 minute swim test

30
Q

1.5 mile run test

A

maximal test
stop watch and course
Even pace throughout the test

31
Q

1.5 mile run test

not recommended for

A

unconditioned beginers
men over 45
women over 55
symptomatic individuals

32
Q

1.5 mile run test

training required before test

A

unconditioned individuals require at least 6 week aerobic training prior to this test

33
Q

1.0 mile walk test

A

used by individuals unable to run
brisk 1 mile walk that elicits at least 120 bpm at the end of the test
Valid- need to take hr within 15 seconds from end of test

34
Q

step test

A

can be used on anyone as a submaximal workload is used to estimate VO2max
can be done on large groups
Valid-

35
Q

step test

not recommended for

A

significantly overweight individuals and those with joint problem in the lower extremities

36
Q

Astrand-Ryhming test

A

one of the most popular tests used to estimate VO2max
submaximal workloads and little time
good choice for significantly overweight individuals and those with joint problem in the lower extremities

37
Q

Astrand-Ryhming test

when testing older people

A

use low workloads

final exercise heart rates do not exceed 130-140 bpm

38
Q

12 minute swim test

A

VO2max cannot be estimated from a swim test
maximal test
only used for those in swimming program or who cannot use any other test

39
Q

FITT

A

acronym used to describe the 4 CR exercise prescription variables: frequency, intensity, type (mode), and time (duration)

40
Q

vigorous exercise

A

Cr exercise that requires an intensity level of approximately 70 percent of capacity

41
Q

hear rate reserve

A

HRR

the difference between MHR and RHR

42
Q

moderate-intensity exercise

A

CR exercise that noticeably increases heart rate and breathing, one that requires and intensity level of approximately 50 percent of capacity

43
Q

intensity

A

in CR exercise, how hard a person has to exercise to improve or maintain fitness

44
Q

intensity of exercise is called

A

cardiorespiratory (CR) training zone

45
Q

cardiorespiratory (CR) training zone

A

Recommended TI range, in terms of exercise heart rate, to obtain adequate CR endurance development

46
