  1. Chapter 7 Cardiovascular Fitness

  2. Cardiovascular Fitness • The body’s ability to continuously provide oxygen to muscles as work is performed over and extended period of time. • Your heart is a muscle.

  3. Circulatory System • Blood and blood vessels • Heart • Arteries • Capillaries (Deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells of your body) • Veins Left side of heart pumps blood to the body. Right side pumps blood to the lungs.

  4. Respiratory System • Lungs and air passages

  5. Muscles role in returning blood to heart • Veins have valves

  6. Resting Heart Rate Take pulse just after waking in the morning in the same body position. The best place to take pulse-wrist or neck. Low resting heart rate usually indicates a good level of aerobic fitness. Marathon runner 45-60 bpm Fit individual 60-75 bpm Not so fit individual 70-85 bpm Not so fit smoker 80-110 bpm Not so fit obese smoker 90-120 bpm

  7. Target Heart RateThis is where you want your exercise heart rate. 220-Age=Maximal Attainable Heart Rate 60-90% of that is the Target Heart Rate Zone

  8. Recovery Heart Rate • Check pulse after exercise session. • Heart rate 5 min. after workout= 120 bpm • Heart rate 10 min. after workout=100 bpm • If heart rate is above this amount-Decrease intensity (run slower) • If heart rate is below this amount-Increase intensity (run faster)

  9. Blood Pressure • Systolic pressure-heart is contracting • This is the top number • Diastolic pressure-heart is relaxing • This is the bottom number Normal blood pressure 120/80 High blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Cardiovascular disease is responsible for over 40% of all deaths in adults.

  10. Cardiovascular benefits of exercise • Active people –Less heart disease, less likely to die from heart attacks. Develop extra coronary arteries in heart. • Heart muscle gets stronger • Improved ability to concentrate, cope with stress and improved self-concept.

  11. To improve cardiovascular fitness you need to: • Use large body muscles. • Exercise 20 min-60 min • Use oxygen (aerobic exercise) • Do at least 3 times/week • Examples: jogging, swimming, jump rope, bicycling
