A

FALSE

More than 5 days a week shows minimal to no improvement in VO2max

32
Q

Incidence of injury ______ with exercise 5 days a week.

33
Q

Less than ____d/wk does not generally result in an increase in V02max

34

A

40-50% of heart rate reserve as per the Karvonen method

36
Q

What is the Karvonen method for target heart rate?

[(MHR-RHR) x %HRR] + RHR

37
Q

A

208 - 0.7age

38
Q

If no stress test was done, and the patient has a pathology, the target heart rate is ____.

39
Q

A

20-30 min per workout

41
Q

How long should the workout be when intensity is below 60% HRR?

A

60 min per workout

42
Q

Longer the duration the _____ the intensity.

43
Q

Shorter the duration ______ the intensity.

44
Q

The client should perform _____ exercises for weight loss.

A

weight bearing

45
Q

______ bike is safer for those with hypertension. Why?

A

Dual Action Bike

BP response is less than on a stationary bike due to increase in muscle mass be activated and thus the decrease in peripheral constriction
