Chapter 8 - Cardiorespiratory Fitness Training Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity
5 Components of Health-Related Physical Fitness
- CR Fitness
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
- Flexibility
- Body Composition
Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training
CR training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiologic, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the CR system
Rate of Progression
Critical to helping clients achieve their person health and fitness goals in the most efficient and effective use of time and energy
3 Phases in Each Exercise Training Session
warm-up, conditioning, cool-down phase
Warm-Up and Cool-Down Times
Typically 5-10 minutes
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 exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise to follow
Warm-Up Purpose
- Increase HR and respiration rates
- Increase tissue temp.
- Psychologically prepare individual
Warm-Up for Stabilization Level Client
Self-myofascial release, static stretching, CR exercise
Warm-Up for Strength Level Client
Self-myofascial release, active-isolated stretching, CR exercse
Warm-Up for Power Level Client
Dynamic, functional warm-up
-self-myofascial release, dynamic stretching
Cool-Down Phase
Provides the body with a smooth transition from exercise back to a steady state of rest
Cool-Down Phase Purpose
- Reduce HR and breathing rates
- Gradually cool body temp.
- Return muscles to their optimal length-tension relationships
- Prevent venous pooling of blood into lower extremities
- Restore physiologic systems close to baseline
Suggested Cool-Down Activities
Corrective Stretching (self-myofascial release and static stretching) and low-intensity CR exercise
Static Stretching and When
-Statically stretch tight or overactive muscles in warm-up and major muscles used during workout in the cool-down
Individual Responses to Exercise
Are highly variable
FITTE Principle
- Frequency
- Intensity
- Type
- Time
- Enjoyment
Frequency
The number of training sessions in a given time period
General Health Requirement Recommendations
- 150 minutes per week of Moderate Intensity aerobic activity (40-60% of VO2R , 55-70% of HRmax)
- 75 minutes per week of vigourous-intensity aerobic activity (+60% of VO2R, +70% of HRmax)
