Physical fitness
A set of attributes or characteristics individuals have or achieve that relates to their ability to perform physical activity. These characteristics are usually separated into the health-related and skill-related components of physical fitness.
Vo2R
Percentage of oxygen reserve
HRR
Heart rate reserve
VO2
Oxygen consumption
Mets
Metabolic equivalents
THR
Target heart rate
HRR (method equation)
THR=[(HRmax-HRrest)x%intensity desired] +HR rest
VO2R (method/equation)
Target VO2R= [(VO2max- VO2rest) x% intensity desired] + VO2rest
HR (method/equation)
Target HR= HRmax X%intensity desired
VO2 (method/equation)
Target VO2=VO2max X% intensity desired
Met ( method/equation )
Target met= [(VO2 max)/3.5mLkgmin] X % intensity desired
Moderate physical activity
