Term
| Training Effect is dependent on |
|
Definition
- frequency - intensity - duration - total program length - initial fitness level |
|
|
Term
| VO 2 max = maximal aerobic capacity |
|
Definition
- determines a person's aerobic fitness level - as intensity of exercise increases more oxygen is consumes - endurance athletes have a higher VO2 max compared to conditioned and sedentary individuals |
|
|
Term
| Prof Roberts' Recommendations for min cardio fitness and weight loss/ weight maintenance |
|
Definition
- Frequency: 3-5 times a week - Duration: 20-60 min/day - Intensity: 50-90% or HR max |
|
|
Term
Maximum HR determined by: KNOW EQUATION |
|
Definition
- Age predicated HRmax = 205.8 - (.685 x age) - Functional HRmax: maximal exercise test - Prescribed HRmax: by physician - HR at rest determined by fitness level, genetics, age, and lifestyle - athletes have lower resting HRs compared to sedentary individuals |
|
|
Term
| Training Sensitive Zone (TSZ) |
|
Definition
| - HR is 50-90% of HRmax where aerobic benefits are noted |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- total amount of blood per minute that is ejected from the left ventricle to deliver oxygenated blood to all of the body's tissue - Increased in trained individuals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- the actualy volume of blood that is ejected from the left ventricle with each beat - determines the strength of the heart; a stronger heart is able to eject a greater volume of blood to the body each time that it beats - CO = HR x SV - SV increased in trained individuals |
|
|
Term
Lactate Threshold (anaerobic threshold) |
|
Definition
- the highest exercise intensity or level of oxygen uptake that is not associated with a significant accumulation of muscle lactic acid or blood lactate - AKA maximum steady-state of lactate (MSS) - most powerful predictor of of endurance/aerobic performance ability |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - when frequency, duration, intensity of exercise is reduced, overall fitness decreases |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - training adaptations can be maintained by decreasing either duration or frequency of exercise up to 2/3 however maintenance of intensity is crucial |
