30
Q

Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) - Tanaka, Monahan, Seals Equation

A

MHR = 208 - (0.7 x Age)

31
Q

Electrocardiogram (ECG -EKG) - Definition

A

A recording of the electrical activity of the heart

32
Q

Resting Heart Rate (RHR) - Definition

A

The number of heart beats per minute when the body is at complete rest; usually counted first thing in the morning before physical activity

33
Q

Heart-Rate Reserve (HRR) - Definition

A

Reserve capacity of the heart; the difference between maximal heart rate and resting heart rate. It reflects the heart’s ability to increase the rate of beating and cardiac output above resting level to max intensity.

34
Q

Karvonen Formula - Equation

A

BEST EQUATION

HRR = MHR - RHR
THR = (HRR x % intensity) + RHR
35
Q

THR Example-

If MHR = 180 and exercise HR is 50%-70% of MHR what is the intensity range?

A

180 bpm x 0.50 = 90
180 bpm x 0.70 = 126

Range = 90-126 bpm

36
Q

HR Telemetry - Definition

A

The process by which measured quantities from a remote site are transmitted to a data-collection point for recording and processing, such as what occurs during an ECG.

37
Q

HR Telemetry - Class Considerations

A

Give at least 3 opportunities to check during class

38
Q

HR Telemetry - When to SLOW DOWN

A

HR is > 90% of MHR

39
Q

HR Telemetry - When to INCREASE

A

HR is < 50% of MHR

40
Q

VO2Max - Definition

A

Max amount of oxygen (mL) that a person can use in 1 minute per kilogram of body weight.

41
Q

VO2reserve - Definition

A

The difference between VO2Max and VO2 at rest; used for programming aerobic exercise intensity.

42
Q

Talk Test - Validity

43
Q

1st Ventilatory Threshold (VT1) - Class Definition

A

When talking becomes challenging

44
Q

1st Ventilatory Threshold (VT1) - Book Definition

A

Ventilation increases in a nonlinear fashion due to an accumulation of metabolic by-products in the blood.
-Between zone 1 and zone 2

45
Q

2nd Ventilatory Threshold (VT2) - Class Definition

A

When talking becomes very difficult (reduced to 1-2 words)

46
Q

2nd Ventilatory Threshold (VT2) - Book Definition

A

Lactate accumulates and high-intensity exercise can no longer be sustained

  • Between zone 2 and zone 3
  • Shouldn’t be maintained for more than 2 minutes
47
Q

3 Zone Intensity - Zone 1

A

Low-moderate exercise; talk comfortably

48
Q

3 Zone Intensity - Zone 2

A

moderate-vigorous exercise; talking is challenging but possible

49
Q

3 Zone Intensity - Zone 3

A

Vigorous-very vigorous; definitely cannot talk comfortably
