Chapter 8 Flashcards
cardiorespiratory fitness
the ability of the circulatory respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activities
integrated cardiorespiratory training
cardiorespiratory training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the cardiorespiratory systems
general warm-up
low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow
specific warm up
low intensity exercises consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow
frequency
the number of training sessions ina. given time frame
intensity
the level of demand that a given activity places on the body
maximal oxygen consumption VO2 max
the highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion
oxygen uptake reserve (VO2R)
the difference between resting and maximal oxygen consumption
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
time
the length of time and individual is engaged in a given activity
type
the type or mode of physical activity in which an individual is engaged
enjoyment
the amount of pleasure derived from performing physical activity
overtraining
excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in fatigue, (which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery
how long should the warm up and cool down last?
5-10 minutes
benefits of a cool down
It helps reduce heart and breathing rates, gradually cools body
temperature, returns muscles to their optimal length-tension relationships, prevents blood pooling in the lower
extremities, and restores physiological systems to baseline
