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 |
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 |
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 |

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
|
|
|
Rockport Walk Test |
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 |
