Thresholds Of Training

Question 1

Why do we have thresholds for training

Answer 1

• Thresholds set levels for people to train at that are effective but safe.
• Woking below the threshold will have little impact on improving fitness and work done above could cause injury

Question 2

What is my aerobic training training zone?

Answer 2

60-80% of my maximum

Question 3

My anaerobic training threshold is

Answer 3

90-80% of my maximum heart rate

Question 4

How do you workout your maximum heart rate

Answer 4

Maximum heart rate =220 - Age
= 220 - 15
= 205bpm

Question 5

How do I find my aerobic training threshold?

Answer 5

60% of 205 = 0.6 x 205
= 123bpm

80% of 205 = 0.8 x 205
= 164bpm

123bpm - 164bpm

Question 6

How do you work out your heart rate using the Karvovem formula?

Answer 6

1. Find your resting heart rate (RHR)
2. Find your maximum heart rate (MHR)
3. MHR - RHR
4. Find 60% and 80% of of thus number
5. Add back on your RHR to each of these numbers
