Target Heart Rate Training Zone 1

Builds aerobic base and aids in recovery
Max heart rate x 0.65 or 0.75

Target Heart Rate Training Zone 2

Increases aerobic and anaerobic endurance
Max heart rate x 0.76 or 0.85

Target Heart Rate Training Zone 3

Builds high-end work capacity
Max heart rate x 0.86 or 0.95

Target Heart Rate
Straight Percentage Method

Estimated maximal heart rate is found by subtracting the client's age from 220 then multiplying the answer by the appropriate zone intensity (65-95%)

Target Heart Rate
HR Reserve (HRR) Method

Also known as the Karvonen method and is more accurate

HRR is determined by:
[(HRmax - HRrest) x desired intensity] + HRrest

Body Composition

The relative percentage of body weight that is fat (essential and non-essential) versus fat-free tissue (muscle, bone, water, connective and organ tissues, and teeth)

Types of Body Composition Assessments

Skinfold measurement - most popular
Bioelectrical impedance
Underwater weighing

Skinfold Measurment and the Durnin-Womersley Formula

All skin folds should be taken on the RIGHT SIDE of the body

Biceps: vertical fold on front of arm halfway between the shoulder and the elbow

Triceps: vertical fold on back of upper arm halfway between the shoulder and the elbow (relaxed)

Subscapular: 45-degree angle fold of 1-2 cm below the inferior angle of the scapula

Iliac Crest: 45-degree angle fold taken just above the iliac crest and medial to the axillary line

Add the totals of the 4 sites and find the appropriate category on the Durnin-Womersley table

Calculate Fat Mass and Lean Body Mass

Body fat % x scale weight = fat mass

Scale weight - fat mass = lean body mass

Circumference Measurements

Neck: Across the Adam's apple

Chest: Across the nipple line

Waist: Narrowest point of the waist below the ribcage and just above the top of the hip bones; or at the navel

Hips: Widest portion of the buttocks with feet together

Thighs: 10 inches above the top of the patella

Calves: At the maximal circumference between the ankle and the knee

Biceps: At the maximal circumference of the biceps; arm extended and palm facing down

Waist-to-Hip Ratio

Measure the smallest part of the client's waist, fully distended, and the largest part of the client's hips. Divide the waist measurement by the hip measurement to get the ratio.

A ratio greater than 0.80 for women and 0.95 for men may be a risk for a number of diseases

Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m2)
or
BMI = [Weight (lbs) / Height (inches2)] x 703

YMCA 3-Minute Step Test

A test designed to estimate an individual's cardiorespiratory fitness level on the basis of a submaximal bout of stair climbing at a set pace for 3 minutes

A test designed to estimate a cardiovascular starting point, which is modified based on ability level through 4 steps

Step 1: Determine client's VO2
Step 2: Locate the VO2 score on the chart
Step 3: Determine the appropriate starting Zone
Step 4: Determine the client's max heart rate
