  1. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE Cardiorespiratory Endurance Aerobic Fitness

  2. Objectives • Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic exercises. • Examine the benefits of cardiovascular exercises. • Identify different types of training methods, and apply these methods to your training routines. • Learn to measure your heart rate.

  3. Cardiovascular Endurance • The ability of the lungs, heart, and blood vessels to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical activity. • Cardio (Cardiovascular exercise) – Any movement that gets your heart rate up and increases blood circulation throughout the body.

  4. Basic Physiology

  5. The Heart • The heart is a double pump – two separate pumps that work side by side • The right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs • The left side pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body

  6. Blood Vessels • There are three main groups of blood vessels. • Arteries and arterioles- transport oxygenated blood away from the heart. • Capillaries – bring blood to the tissues where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. • Veins and venules – transport deoxygenated blood back towards the heart.

  7. Fit Individual • During prolonged exercise, an individual with a high level of cardiovascular endurance is able to deliver the required amount of oxygen to the tissues easily.

  8. Unfit individual • Has to work the cardiovascular system much harder; the heart has to work at a higher rate, less oxygen is delivered to the tissues, and consequently, the individual fatigues faster.

  9. Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise • Aerobic Exercise – energy required to perform cardiorespiratory activities is generated through aerobic (oxygen-using) metabolism e.g. walking, aerobic dance, cycling, etc.

  10. Anaerobic exercise - intensity is so high that oxygen cannot be delivered and utilized to produce energy and you begin to produce lactic acid. - can be carried out for only short periods – 2-3 minutes.

  11. Benefits of Aerobic Training • Higher maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) • increase in the amount of oxygen the body is able to use during physical activity • allows someone to exercise longer & more intensely before becoming fatigued.

  12. Benefits of Aerobic Training 2. Increase in oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood • Red blood cell (hemoglobin) count 3. Increase in cardiac muscle strength • heart responds to training by increasing in strength and size • stronger heart, more forceful contraction which aids to eject more blood w/ each beat (Strokevolume)

  13. Benefits of Aerobic Training 4. Decrease in Resting Heart Rate • by 10 – 20 beats per minute (bpm) after 6-8 weeks of training • A reduction of 20 bpm saves the heart about 10,483,200 beats per year. 5. Lower heart rate at a given workloads

  14. Benefits of Aerobic Training 6. Increase in number of functional capillaries - more gas exchange can take place 7. Faster recovery time - Reduce DOMS by bringing more oxygen rich blood to the muscles tissue for repair and rebuilding. 8. Lower blood pressure & blood lipids - reduces major risk factor for stroke & coronary heart disease - lower levels of fats (such as cholesterol and triglycerides)

  15. Benefits of Aerobic Training 9. Increased metabolism - More intense cardio session = higher metabolic rate 10. Improved hormonal profile - Release “feel good” chemicals that will help ease symptoms of depression (serotonin) - Release hormones that regulate appetite and fat accumulation (leptin & insulin)

  16. CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISEGUIDELINES

  17. How much cardio do I need? • To lose fat: 3-5 times per week at 20-40 minutes per session depending on intensity. • To gain weight/muscles: No cardio at all, or light cardio work twice a week for 20 minutes per session.

  18. Intensity of Exercise • Cardiorespiratory development occurs when the heart is working between 60 and 85 percent of the maximal heart rate. • Unfit individuals should use a 40 to 50 percent training intensities

  19. Determining Intensity • Estimate Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) • MHR= 220 - age • Check Resting Heart Rate (RHR) • Calculate target heart rate zone to determine training intensities (TI). • 60-85% of MHR

  20. Types of Cardiovascular Training • Low intensity, long duration cardio • Intensity of around 40-60% of MHR • Slow, easy, and long (over 40 minutes) • Walking, cycling, jogging • Good for fat loss, especially in very obese people • Medium intensity, medium duration cardio • 70% of MHR • 20-40 minutes • Characterized by heavy breathing • Fat loss and increasing aerobic capacity • High intensity, short duration cardio • 80-85% of MHR • Very demanding, 5-20 minutes

  21. Types of Cardiovascular Training • Aerobic Interval Training • A period of moderate to high intensity aerobic work • Then a period of rest or low intensity work • Ex: 3 min. of running, then 1 minute of slow walking, repeated 4 times. • Anaerobic Interval Training • HITT: High-intensity interval training • Improved athletic condition and fat burning • 85-100% of your MHR • High intensity anaerobic exercise, then medium intensity exercise for recovery. • Ex. 30-40 seconds of hard sprinting, then 15-20 seconds of jogging.
