Chapter 8 Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
cardiorespiratory fitness
ability of circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during physical activities
integrated cardiorespiratory training
progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of performance adaptations by placing stress on cardiorespiratory system
general warm-up
low intensity exercise consisting of movements taht do not necessarily relate to more intense exercise to follow
specific warm-up
low intensity exercises consisting of movements taht mimic those included in the more intense exercise to follow
maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max)
highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion
oxygen uptake reserve (VO2R)
difference between resting and maximal oxygen consumption
ventilatory threshold (Tvent)
point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake- signifying switch from aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production (switches moderate to high intensity) can be gauged informally with the talk test method
Stage 1
improve fitness levels of healthy sedentary clients suing heart rate 65-75%
Stage 2
training at higher intensity levels using heart rate 76-85%
Stage 3
advanced client with high fitness levels, use all heart rate zones (hr 86%-95%)
