-3.5; or 1 kcal
Where does the normal aerobic threshold occur?
-at 55% of VO2 max
How does anaerobic training improve the lactate thresh hold?
-improving muscle alkaline reserves

What does smoking cause that increases risk for CAD? (3)
-increased BP, Decreases HDLs, enhances platelet aggregation
Exercise can improve what to lessen risk of CAD?(4)
-improves lipid profile, improves insulin sensitivity, improves glucose control, and reduced BP
How does hypertension increase the risk of artherosclerosis?
-causes mechanical damage to endothelial cells, and increases the permeability of lipids and promotes plaque formation
