Answer 4

How much blood ventricles can push out with each beat

Question 5

What is the equation to determine cardiac output?

Answer 5

Q = SV X HR

Question 6

What does RPE stand for?

Answer 6

Rate of exertion scale, subjective, measured on a scale of 1 to 10 by participant

Also known as Modified Borg Scale

Question 7

What is the talk test?

Answer 7

A way to measure the intensity of cardio exercise

Question 8

What does RHR stand for?

Answer 8

Resting heart rate, slowest safe state (sleep)

Question 9

What is the pre exercise heart rate?

Answer 9

Measured while a participant sits quietly for 5 minutes prior to exercise

Question 10

What does MHR stand for?

Answer 10

Maximum heart rate, MHR = 220 - age

Question 11

What does HRR stand for?

Answer 11

Heart rate Reserve, MHR - RHR

Question 12

What does THR stand for?

Answer 12

Range heartbeats at during exercise, training heart rate

Should match participant goals, often measured in zones, should be determined before exercise period

Question 13

How do you determine the maximum heart rate formula?

Answer 13

MHR formula: THR = %MHR(220-age)

Beginner 60 to 70%
1 to 3 months 65 to 75%
3 months or more 75 to 90%

Question 14

What is the Heart Rate Reserve formula?

Answer 14

Also known as Karvonen formula

THR = %HRR [ (220-age) - RHR] + RHR

Beginner 50 to 60%
1 to 3 months 60 to 70%
3 months or more 70 to 80%
