What is cardiorespiratory conditioning? - answer
1.Cardiorespiratory conditioning—an activity used to improve body's
ability to process and deliver oxygen, which produces energy
required to complete a desired activity.
2. Typically involves specific muscular endurance training of the
large muscles including hips, highs, & buttocks.
3. Focus on client's ability to perform repetitive, moderate-high
intensity training routines.
Ex: running, cycling, swimming
Why is cardiorespiratory fitness important? - answer 1. Ultimate
goal is to increase HR and respiration in order to place appropriate
stress on cardiorespiratory system.
2. Overload must be progressive and can be measured by VO2 max.
3. Benefits: reduces resting HR, normalizes resting blood pressure,
reduces stress level & fatigue.
How do you design a cardiorespiratory program? - answer 1. Begin
with a 5-10 min warm-up, usually low-intensity.
2. Follow up with endurance or exercise phase.
3. Weight-dependent exercises—intensity maintained throughout
exercise and constant amount of energy expended
(running/walking.)
4. Cool-down period of approximately 10min, low intensity. This
gradual decrease helps removal of lactate in muscles and aids in
dissipation of body heat.
, 5. Intensity should be considered in conjunction with duration (&
frequency)
Optimal frequency= 3-5 days/week.
What postural considerations should be taken in a cardiorespiratory
fitness program? - answer 1. Cardiorespiratory follows same
kinetic parameters as flexibility and resistance training.
2. Postural considerations in selecting best cardiorespiratory
exercise for client; can affect performance on workout equipment.
What is smart progression in regards to a cardiorespiratory
program? - answer 1. Adaptation to a particular exercise routine
can occur easily; workload must then be increased if benefits from
training are to be seen.
2. Smart progression involves moving from lower intensity level to a
higher intensity level, longer duration, and/or increased frequency.
3. One guideline is to keep increase in activity to no more than 5%
for each progression and the adaptation to this increase spread
over a period of a week or two.
4. Change only one element at a time.
5. Initial progression is from discontinuous activity to continuous
activity
What is interval training? - answer 1. Interval training—involves
both aerobic and anaerobic processes; maximizes amount of
calories burned to ensure that the body can maximize energy used
by the body.
2. Also involves maximizing the excess post exercise oxygen
consumption (EPOC); the body's metabolism is elevated after
exercise since fat burning is greater after exercise
best choice of conditioning to optimize aerobic benefits.
3. Interval training—involves both periods called intensity training,
with an intermediate effort that is above comfortable level. Then
followed by cardio activity that is at the comfortable level or lower.
