Cardiorespiratory fitness

wishes to change in the program. From the interview, relevant information was collected. The client is currently working as a receptionist in a physiotherapy clinic. She works on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. She has a gym membership and currently exercises for three times a week. She exercises for an hour and mostly runs on a treadmill. The speed at which she usually runs and walks are 10.5kph and 6kph respectively. She drives to the gymnasium which is five minutes away from her home. She also has an outdoor track near her housing area but prefers running on a treadmill. Ashlee has no past medical history and is deemed fit to perform physical activities. From the interview, it was understood that Ashlee’s aims are to improve her cardiorespiratory endurance and to run for 5km without walking rests after six weeks. Reasons for her aims are that although she has been consistently running on a treadmill, she has never succeeded in completing the run without walking rests. Also, no program was tailored…

Introduction The purpose of this lab was so asses our subject’s cardiorespiratory fitness and evaluate their aerobic capacity and also put them into a classification. Methods Take the subject’s the height, weight, body composition and resting heart rate and blood pressure. Then place the HR Monitor on the subject. Explain to the subject the rest and explain the RPE chart and communication methods. Allow the subject to warm up on the treadmill at a low intensity and stretch if they need to.…

Physical activity (PA) is necessary for optimum physical and psychosocial health of the general population. It has been suggested that it is even more important for children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who struggle with impairments that interfere with activities of daily living and limit participation in sports (Fowler, Knutson, et al., 2007). According to the World Health Organization, adolescents and young adults with and without disabilities who are physically active have higher…

Hypothesis: Even though the 1.5 mile run test will not produce the highest average VO2 max, the results of the 1.5 mile run test will produce the most accurate VO2 max results as the test puts the most physiological demand on the body compared to the Queens College/McArdle Step Test and the Rockport One Mile Walk Test. Discussion: The Queens College/McArdle Step Test, the Rockport One Mile Walk Test, and the 1.5 Mile Run Test are three different field tests that were performed in this lab that…

lab, we used the direct method. It can be tough though, because it requires the subject to exercise until exhaustion, requiring enough motivation. Some main factors affecting VO2 max are age, gender, and altitude. VO2 max is typically highest by age 20, and gradually decreases as the individual ages. Males have a higher VO2 max due to their physiology, which is about 20% greater than females. In higher altitudes, less oxygen is available, thus lowering the VO2 max. The goal of this laboratory…

not getting enough exercise. When someone becomes obese and that person doesn’t handle the situation properly, then the genetic characteristics of obesity are passed down to the next generation. “Taste preferences directly influence the evolutionary fitness of all animals, because their feeding choices affect the number of offspring they can produce. As a consequence, natural selection can shape feeding behaviors just as it can bring about changes in physical structures. (Animal Behavior: The…

FIT interests me because of its innovative and rigorous classes, as well as the engaging student community. I’m a perfect candidate for FIT because I have taken the most challenging classes I could in my high school. This has prepared me to succeed in FIT’s classes. On top of the general education classes I took, I have taken college level photography courses. I’m applying for the Photography and Related Media major because above all of my academic interests my true passion is art and…

The evolutionary story suggests that our moral beliefs evolved organically to select for what would keep a community alive. That our morals do not approach an objective truth, but are merely adaptively fit. This lends to an argument that since we are not evolved to know the truth, our morals may be totally invalid, and so we cannot rationally believe them. This argument that we cannot trust our morals is flawed. The debunker claims that since evolution selects for fitness rather than moral…

The components of fitness are defined as the constituents that make up one’s physical fitness or his or her ability to function effectively at physical activity. Physical fitness is helpful in many aspects and is something anyone can achieve. The four most basic components of fitness are Cardiorespiratory Endurance (CR), Muscular Strength and Endurance, Flexibility, and Body Composition. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of the heart to provide oxygen to the body. This is a highly…

accomplish all my daily activities within my original schedule. The adjustments that I made to the plan are very beneficial in regards to my overall general health, but as well as my fitness goals to live a long healthy life. For lab 3.2 developing an exercise program for cardiorespiratory endurance my goals had changed from the original assignment. My Final goals basically stayed the same improving physical appearance, general health, but I also added the goal of completing a triathlon. My…
