|
aerobic
|
literally means "with oxygen." Aerobic activities are activities that demand large amounts of oxygen, follow the FITT factors, and improve cardiorespiratory endurance.
|
|
|
aerobic capacity
|
is the highest possible heart rate. Maximal heart rate can be estimated by subtracting age from 220 bpm.
|
|
|
anaerobic
|
means "without oxygen." This type of activity demands more oxygen than the body can supply while exercising, causing an oxygen debt. Start-and-stop activities, such as sprinting, are examples of anaerobic exercise.
|
|
|
cardiac output
|
is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute.
|
|
|
FITT factors
|
should be followed to develop cardiorespiratory endurance. The factors include recommendations about the frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise.
|
|
|
heart rate reserve (HRR)
|
is the difference between your maximal and resting heart rates.
|
|
|
Karvonen equation
|
is used to determine the target heart rate (THR) for exercise. It takes into account the current fitness level of the exerciser by using his or her resting heart rate. (Karvonen was a Finnish researcher.) The formula is THR 5 (HRmax 2 RHR) 3 I 1 RHR.
|
|
|
maximal heart rate (HRmax)
|
is the highest possible heart rate. Maximal heart rate can be estimated by subtracting age from 220 bpm.
|
|
|
maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
|
is the greatest amount of oxygen that can be used by the body during intense exercise.
|
|
|
rate of perceived exertion (RPE)
|
is a method of measuring exercise intensity developed by Gunnar Borg. Using this method, exercisers are able to sense (or perceive) their exercise intensity levels accurately.
