Week 8 - Aerobic Prescription Flashcards
FITT-VP Recommendations
Frequency: 3-5 days
Intensity: 40-89% HRR
Time: 20-60 min
Type: large, rhythmic
Volume: 150 MVPA
Progress: ‘10% rule’
Pattern: MICE, intermediate HIIT
Creating a program
An exercise program (including all of those shown here) is essential to improve and maintain physical fitness and health.
Design an Aerobic Exercise
- 30-39% = Light
- 40-89% = Moderate-Vigorous Zone → for AEROBIC!
Aerobic Guidelines = 3-5 days/week, 40-89%HRR, 20-60mins (moderate), large rhythmic, 150 mins / week MVPA, 10% progress rule, pattern = kind of exercise
The 10% rule is ATTAINABLE!
FITT-VP Evidence Category
Exercise is Medicine Prescription Pad → FITT + steps/day
500 steps more = progress

Prescribing Exercise Intensity
Option 1 — Borg Scale RPE
Option 2 — The Talk Test
Option 3 — %HHR
RPE
rate of perceived exertion
Borg Scale RPE
Used to be 6-10 (original), NOW it is 1-10 (modern)
Intensity and Talk Test
%HHR
Percentage of heart rate MAX, it is OBJECTIVE
Resting HR = 72 BPM
HRR = [(max - rest) x 0.5] + HR rest
Obtaining HR MAX = (220) - (your age) → EXAM Q
% HHR Sample Calculation
Step-by-step approach to prescribing intensity using %HHR
Step 1 = get (test/calculate) predicted HR max
Step 2 = calculate HRR (HR max = HR rest = HRR)
Step 3 = calculate most appropriate intensity rate (table below)
Step 4 = calculate target heart rate range → how wide? = 10-20%
