Heart rate & Training
THR is the rate at which you aim to train in order to target specific energy systems and components of fitness.
Target HR
In addition to using heart rate for training zones, the speed at which an athlete's heart rate drops after exercise is a good indicator of a persons
Fitness level
VO2 max is a strong indicator of an individual’s
(fitness component)
aerobic capacity
Which training zone primarily uses fats as an energy source the THR of this training zone is between 60-80%
Aerobic Training
Which organ in the body contributes directly to the delivery of oxygen to working muscles?
The heart
Which two energy systems are classified 'anaerobic'
ATP-PC and Lactic Acid systems (do not use oxygen)
The average sedentary male has a VO2 max of 35 to 40ml/kg/min. For females, this is lower at 27 to 30ml/kg/min.
What is the highest score ever recorded?
Oskar Svendsen, set the world record for highest-recorded VO2 max in 2012 at 96.7 ml/kg/min.
is a measure of an individual’s maximum oxygen consumption during intense physical activity.
VO2 Max
Changes that occur in the body in response to training are known as p_________ a_ __________
physiological adaptations
The L_________ T_________ is the point at which lactic acid (i.e. lactate hydrogen ions) begins to accumulate in the muscles at a faster rate than it can be removed (in the blood).
lactate threshold
An athlete wanting to train in the lactate threshold training zone should do so at between
(A) 70–75% of their maximum heart rate.
(B) 80–85% of their maximum heart rate.
(C) 90–95% of their maximum heart rate.
(D) 95–100% of their maximum heart rate.
(B) 80–85% of their maximum heart rate.
