100
What is cardiorespiratory fitness?
The ability to perform moderate to high intensity activity for a prolonged period of time
100
What is mode or modality?
Defined as the type of activity that is used for exercise.
100
List 2 benefits of a warm up as discussed in class?
What is Increased blood flow to working muscles, increases core temperature, gradually increases HR, Increases metabolic rate
100
Continuous training, interval training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training
List 2 cardiorespiratory training methods (type of training).
100
What is running, biking, swimming, rowing?
Name 3 modes of aerobic exercise.
200
List two benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness in the reduction in coronary heart disease
What is Reduced resting blood pressure, Increased HDL cholesterol, Decreased Trigylcerides, Reduced body fat, Reduced insulin needs
200
What is HRmax = 220 - Age?
Simplest equation to predict HRmax.
200
What is 3 to 5 minutes?
A general warm-up (jogging, biking) lasts ___ to ___ minutes.
200
What is continuous training?
This training method is defined as exercising at the same workload for a prolonged period of time (>20 minutes) without rest.
200
What is rowing, biking, or swimming?
A type of non-weight bearing exercise.
300
What are increased VO2 max, increased SV, decreased resting and submaximal HR, increased Q, increased lactate threshold, increased oxygen delivery to muscles?
List two physiological adaptations caused by improved cardiorespiratory fitness.
300
What are client's age, risk factors, current level of fitness, goals, activity/training history?
Two factors in determining appropriate training workloads when working with a client.
300
It is the time needed for the heart to reach steady state in most individuals.
The reason a general warm-up is lasts a specific amount of time.
300
What is interval training?
This training method uses varying times for work to rest ratios.
300
More muscle is used during the VO2max test to measure maximal oxygen consumption.
Performing a treadmill VO2max test is more accurate than performing a bike VO2max test because...
400
What is bone mass density?
Weight-bearing exercise leads to improved ___ ___ ___ due to the impact upon the skeleton.
400
What is 60-80% of HRmax?
Recommended percent of HRmax range for improving cardiorespiratory fitness.
400
What is 3-5 minutes?
Length of time for a cool-down.
400
What is circuit training?
This training method uses a sequence of resistance training exercises performed without rest.
400
What are resting HR and resting BP? (height and weight, if unknown)
These measurements are taken before a VO2max test.
500
What is rate pressure product (RPP)?
This value is an indicator of myocardial oxygen demand.
500
What is the Bruce Treadmill Protocol?
Name of the test used to measure VO2max in our lab.
500
What is prevents blood pooling in the extremities, reduces feelings of dizziness, lowers HR and BP, helps circulate metabolites, minimizes cardiac arrythmias?
List 2 benefits of performing a cool-down.
500
What is increased susceptibility to injury, risk of dizziness/fainting, poor adherence, HR will take much longer to recover or may not recover between exercises?
One reason HIIT should not be used with deconditioned or novice clients.
500
Small muscle mass being used is not a true reflection of VO2max.
Primary reason why upper body ergometers are not recommended for VO2max testing.
