  1. Cardiorespiratory Endurance Chapter 6  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  2. Basic Cardiorespiratory Physiology: A Quick Survey • Pulmonary, cardiovascular, & muscular systems • ATP • Oxygen uptake (VO2) • Aerobic & anaerobic exercise  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  3. Benefits of Aerobic Training • Higher maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) • Increased O-carrying capacity of blood • Decrease in resting heart rate • Lower HR @ a given workload • Increased number/size of mitochondria  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  4. Benefits of Aerobic Training • Increase in number of functional capillaries • Ability to recover rapidly • Lower BP & blood lipids • Increase in fat-burning enzymes  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  5. Physical Fitness Assessment • Purposes • Responders vs. nonresponders  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  6. Assessment of Cardiorespiratory Endurance • Components of oxygen uptake • Heart rate • Stroke volume • Amount of oxygen removed from blood  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  7. Tests to Estimate VO2max • 1.5-Mile Run Test • 1.0-Mile Walk Test • Step Test • Astrand-Rhyming Test • 12-Minute Swim Test  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  8. Tests to Estimate VO2max • Interpreting the results of your maximal oxygen uptake • Predicting oxygen uptake & caloric expenditure from walking & jogging  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  9. Principles of Cardiorespiratory Exercise Prescription • Readiness for exercise • Lab 6C  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  10. Guidelines for Cardiorespiratory Exercise Prescription • Intensity of exercise • Moderate- vs. vigorous-intensity exercise • Monitoring exercise heart rate • Rate of perceived exertion  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  11. Guidelines for Cardiorespiratory Exercise Prescription • Mode of exercise • Duration of exercise • Frequency of exercise  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  12. Fitness Benefits of Aerobic Activities • Table 6.10 • Metabolic equivalents (METs)  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth

  13. Getting Started & Adhering to a Lifetime Exercise Program • Tips to enhance exercise compliance • A lifetime commitment to fitness  2010 Cengage-Wadsworth
