1
Q

If the training objective is to tone and firm muscle what does the program look like?

A

Train for endurance

High Reps (13 to 20)

Resistance low

2
Q

If the training objective is to build size mass and bulk what does the exercise program look like?

A

Train for hypertrophy

Medium reps (6 to 12)

Medium resistance

3
Q

If the training objective is to build strength and power what does the program look like?

A

Train for strength

Low Reps (less than 6)

High Resistance

4
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

How much blood ventricles can push out with each beat

5
Q

What is the equation to determine cardiac output?

A

Q = SV X HR

6
Q

What does RPE stand for?

A

Rate of exertion scale, subjective, measured on a scale of 1 to 10 by participant

Also known as Modified Borg Scale

7
Q

What is the talk test?

A

A way to measure the intensity of cardio exercise

8
Q

What does RHR stand for?

A

Resting heart rate, slowest safe state (sleep)

9
Q

What is the pre exercise heart rate?

A

Measured while a participant sits quietly for 5 minutes prior to exercise

10
Q

What does MHR stand for?

A

Maximum heart rate, MHR = 220 - age

11
Q

What does HRR stand for?

A

Heart rate Reserve, MHR - RHR

12
Q

What does THR stand for?

A

Range heartbeats at during exercise, training heart rate

Should match participant goals, often measured in zones, should be determined before exercise period

13
Q

How do you determine the maximum heart rate formula?

A

MHR formula: THR = %MHR(220-age)

Beginner 60 to 70%
1 to 3 months 65 to 75%
3 months or more 75 to 90%

14
Q

What is the Heart Rate Reserve formula?

A

Also known as Karvonen formula

THR = %HRR [ (220-age) - RHR] + RHR

Beginner 50 to 60%
1 to 3 months 60 to 70%
3 months or more 70 to 80%

15
Q

List the benefits of cardiovascular exercise

A

Healthy body composition, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, reduced blood pressure, reduced resting heart rate, improved respiratory efficacy, improved cardio endurance

18
Q

What is the VO2 Max of an advanced?
