Q

Cardiorespiratory training:
true or false : people who are unable to meet requirements of exercise even up to 10 minutes CAN NOT benefit from this activity

A

false: they still can benefit even though they don’t meet the minimum

24
Q

Moderate intensity physical activity: examples

A

walking to the store, washing windows, climbing stairs

25
Q

Specificity Principle

A

knowing your goals and purpose

- the type of training you do will give you specific kind of results

26
Q

Progressive Overload Principle

A
  • starting with low intensity and increasing intensity as time/ progress goes on
  • focus on frequency, intensity, time, and type
27
Q

Individuality Principle

A
  • goals must depend on what kind of person you are
  • all goals and capabilities should differ from person to person
  • results can very due to genetics
28
Q

Principle of Reversibility

A

use it or lose it

29
Q

Principle of Diminishing Returns

A

the fitter an athlete, the amount of improvement becomes less as they approach their genetic limits

30
Q

Q

Cardiorespiratory Exercise:

frequency

A

3-5 days

beginners start with 3

32
Q

Cardiorespiratory Exercise:

- why training less than 3 days doesn’t have much benefit

A

no time for adaptation

- thus increased risk of injury
