Chapter 8 - Cardiorespiratory Fitness Flashcards
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen righ blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
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 system.
Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training
Low intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow.
General warm-up
Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow.
Specific warm-up
Gives the body time to reduce heart and breathing rates, gradually cools body temp, returns muscles to regular resting lengths, prevent blood from pooling in lower extremeties causing dizziness or fainting, and restores physiological systems close to baseline.
Cool down
FITTE stands for _______-
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type, and Enjoyment.
The number of training sessions in a given timeframe.
Frequency
The level of demand that a given activity places on the body.
Intensity
The highest reate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion.
Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2max)
The difference between resing and maximal or peak oxygen consumption.
Oxygen Uptake Reserve (VO2R)
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
The length of time an inividual is engaged in a given activity.
Time
The type or mode of physical activity that an individual is engaged in.
Type
the amount of pleasure derived from performing a physical activity
Enjoyment
Excessive frequency, volume, or intensity of training, resulting in fatigue (which is also caused by a lack of proper rest and recovery)
Overtraining
