Q3: Analyze Physiological Indicator applied to Outdoor Activities Flashcards
The science of life. It is the branch of biology that aims to understand the mechanisms of living things.
physiology
The number of times that the heart muscle contracts or beats averaged for a specific period of time, usually 1 minute (Allen, 2017).
heart rate
The number of beats you have when you aren’t exercising or doing nothing (Healthline, 2021).
resting heart rate
It measures the health of your heart muscle.
resting heart rate
It is the highest your pulse can get.
maximum heart rate
One way to get a rough estimate of your predicted maximum heart rate.
220 - age = MHR
A range of numbers that reflect how fast your heart should be beating when you exercise.
target heart rate
A calculation you can use to find your target heart rate.
heart rate reserve
It is the difference between your maximum (peak) heart rate and your resting heart rate.
heart rate reserve
How to get the heart rate reserve?
MHR - RHR = HRR
It is useful for determining your optimal training capacity for a certain activity.
target heart rate
True or False
The target heart rate will change depending on the desired outcome of the exercise.
True
Two types of cardio exercises
- Moderate-intesity exercise
- Vigorous-intensity exercise
Why is it important to monitor the heart rate during activity?
It will not only indicate if one is exercising hard enough, but it will also tell if one is over-exerting themselves.
True or False
The target heart rate during vigorous intensity activities is about 50-70% of maximum heart rate.
False
70-85%
