Chapter 8 Cardiorespiratory Fitness Training Flashcards
What is Cardiorespiratory Fitness?
The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supple oxygen rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity
What is Integrated Cardiorespiratory Training?
These programs systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical, and performance adaptations by placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system
What is a General Warm Up?
Low intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow
What is Specific Warm Up?
Low intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow
What is Oxygen Uptake Reserve (VO2R)?
The difference between resting and maximal or peak oxygen consumption
What is Ventilatory Threshold?
The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch from predominantly aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production
