ZONE ONE: How do you determine the appropriate intensity at which the client should work while performing cardio respiratory exercise.
ZONE ONE: 65-75%
220 - age = Maximal heart rate
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.65
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.75
ZONE TWO: How do you determine the appropriate intensity at which the client should work while performing cardio respiratory exercise.
ZONE TWO: 76-85%
220-age = Maximal Heart Rate
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.76
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.85
ZONE THREE: How do you determine the appropriate intensity at which the client should work while performing cardio respiratory exercise.
ZONE THREE: 76-85%
220-age = Maximal Heart Rate
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.86
Maximal Heart Rate x 0.95
What is the top number in a blood pressure reading called? What does it mean?
Systolic. The pressure within the arterial system after the heart contracts.
What is the bottom number in a blood pressure reading called? What does it mean?
Dystolic. The pressure within the arterial system when the heart is resting and filling with blood.
What is healthy blood pressure?
Systolic = less than 120 mmhg Dystolic = less than 80 mmhg
120/80
What is Davis’s Law?
Soft tissue models along the lines of stress. We need to stress our muscles in order to develop them.
What does the body use protein for?
Tissue repair and synthesis as well as for energy. It is only used for energy if you don’t have enough glycogen from carbs.
