Exercise Intensity Flashcards
1
Q
How do you work out and estimate for your maximum heart rate
A
220 - age (years)
2
Q
What is the aerobic training threshold?
A
60-85% of max HR
3
Q
What is the quickest way of finding 60-85% of your max HR?
A
220 - age (years) = Max HR
Max HR x 0.6 = lower training threshold (60%)
Max HR x 0.85 = higher training threshold (85%)
4
Q
What can you use to estimate your training intensity?
A
RPE Scale (Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale)
5
Q
What is the RPE Scale also called?
A
The Borg Scale
6
Q
What is the RPE Scale?
A
A scale from 6-20 used to estimate how card you are working during training sessions
7
Q
What is the relationship between heart rate (HR) and the RPE Scale?
A
RPE x 10 = HR
