Measuring Exercise Intensity

1
Q

4 things that measuring exercise intensity gives an indication of

A
  • sustainability of exercise
  • safety of exercise
  • severity / progression / management of disease
  • nature and magnitude of stimulus for adaptation

Q

why can lactate threshold be extremely hard to identify and interpret

A
  • lactate response inherently
  • measurement error
  • time at each stage affects lactate in bloof
  • people differ in ability to sustain exercise at any given lactate

Q

three ways that heart rate is used to indicate exercise intensity

A
  • heart rate (bpm)
  • relative to max
  • relative to its available range

12
Q

how to use heart rate relative to its max to indicate exercise intensity (equation) and what does it indicate

A

%HRmax = HR / HRmax *100

better indicator of relative exertion

Q

how to use heart rate relative to its available range to indicate exercise intensity (equation) and what does it indicate

A

HRR% = (HR - HR rest) / (HR max - HR rest) *100

excellent indicator of exertion

Q

5 factors that influence exercise economy and efficiency

A
  • speed of movement
  • exercise work rate
  • fibre composition of muscles
  • training status
  • posture and familiarity with activity or ergometer
17
Q

in terms of fibre composition, muscles with greater % of what type of muscle fibres will have greater efficiency

A

higher % of slow fibres
