Q

Frank is 30 years old. When he is at rest, his heart rate is 60. He wants to run at 80% (intensity) of his maximum heart rate when he is running with his Cross Country running team. What should his heart rate be when he is jogging?

A

220-30= 190
190-60=130
(130x80%) + 60=164

32
Q

To be effective, weight lifting needs to be done 5 time per week or more

A

False

33
Q

37
Q

Which type of muscular exercise is best for muscular hypertrophy gains?

A

Eccentric

38
Q

Give 2 specific examples of situations/actions where you use muscular strength and 2 specific examples of situations/actions where you use muscular endurance.

A 
Strength
	Lifting a very heavy object from the floor
	Punching as hard as you can

A

7-12 reps at 60-80% of 1RM

41
Q
