Q

RM Testing - Key Points

A
  • No calculations
  • Load established in RM test is used as the training load (i.e. 5 RM)
  • Training to muscular failure is a poor method for assigning training load
  • Shown to mute strength gains when compared to not training to failure
  • Overtraining and increased occurrence of injuries are possible
  • Better approach: use percentages of 1RM and vary intensity with training week

Q

What is the Heart Rate Reserve formula (HRR)?

A

Target HR = [(Max HR – Resting HR) x %] + Resting HR

Example: 85% of max HR, age 35, Resting HR = 70 bpm

Max HR = 220 – 35 = 185

[( 185 – 70 BPM ) x 85%] + 70 BPM

HRR = (115 x 0.85) + 70
HRR = 97.75 + 70
HRR = 167.75
HRR = 168
40
