Target Heart Range (THR)
207- (Age x .7) = Estimated Max Heart Rate Max HR - Resting HR = HRR HRR x .60 + Rest HR = 60% Max HR HRR x .85 + Rest HR = 85% Max HR EXAMPLE: 20 year old, 70 Rest HR 207 X 14 = 193 Max HR 193 - 70 (rest heart rate) = 123 123 x .60 + 70 = 144 bpm 123 x .85 + 70 = 180 bpm 60% = 144bpm 85% = 175 bpm
Cardiovascular Exercise
A good exercise prescription should include the following 5 minute warm up Exercise session inside your Target Heart Range 5 minute cool down Stretching
ACSM Cardio Guidelines
Adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 5/week. OR 20-60 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise 3/week. One continuous session and multiple shorter sessions (of at least 10 minutes) are both acceptable to accumulate desired amount of daily exercise. Gradual progression of exercise time, frequency and intensity is recommended for best adherence and least injury risk. People unable to meet these minimums can still benefit from some activity.
Anaerobic
Exercise that does not require oxygen to produce ATP energy
Aerobic
Exercise that requires oxygen to produce ATP energy
FITT Principle for Health Maintenance
Frequency: 3-4 times per week Intensity: 60-85% THR Time: 30-45 minutes inside THR Type: Aerobic Exercises
FITT Principle for Weight Loss and Increased VO2max
Frequency: 5-7 times per week Intensity: 60-85% THR Time: 45-60 minutes inside THR Type: Aerobic Exercises
HIIT TrainingHigh Intensity Interval Training
HIIT is a form of interval training to improve cardiovascular fitness. Training that alternates short periods of high intensity exercise (85% THR) followed by a recovery period Work and recovery is on a ratio of 2:1 30 seconds to 60 seconds of high intensity exercise followed by 15-30 seconds of rest HIIT training is different than Tabata because it is longer and usually last about 20-30 minutes
ATP
Is the energy that makes your entire body work and live. You must have ATP for energy to live and exercise
Intensity of Exercise
Light 30-39 THR Moderate 40-59 THR Vigorous 60-89 THR
Moderate vs Vigorous Intensity Exercise
Light to Moderate Provides adequate health benefits such as reducing the risk of disease Moderate to Vigorous More beneficial health benefits than moderate. Help improve overall fitness. Increases VO2max
Frequency of Exercise
Maintain cardiorespiratory fitness 3 days/week Additional improvements of VO2 max 5 days/week Enhanced weight loss Most Days
Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max):
Max amount of oxygen the body is able to utilize per minute of physical activity. This is the best indicator of aerobic fitness.
Example of Tabata Exercises
Sprints Burpies Jump Lunges High Knees Jumping Jacks Jump Rope
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the muscles to meet the demands of physical activity.
Time of Exercise
Time: THR: Intensity 20-60: 60-89: vigorous 30-60:40-59: Moderate 45:30-39: light 60:<30: very light
Tabata Training
Training time is only 4 minutes long Perform a 5 min easy warm up. Perform an Exercise at 100% intensity for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second rest You perform this cycle 8 times which is a total of 4 minutes Choose large muscle groups (legs) Use the same move for all 8 repetitions for best results

Cardiovascualr Exercise Prescription
When starting an exercise program you should start with a short duration with light intensity and gradually increase the minutes and intensity to avoid undue fatigue and exercise-related injuries. This also creates a good habit of exercising After week 6 continue to gradually increase minutes and gradually increase intensity
Cardiac Output
amount of blood pumped by the heart in on minute.
Stroke Volume
amount of blood pumped in one beat
Recovery time
amount of time the body takes to return to resting levels after exercise
Fartlek Training
is defined as periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running and is free-flow. Sprint to mailbox, jog to street light, walk to stop sign. You decide on the duration of the trainings
Interval Training
is precisely timed. 30 second sprint, 30 second jog, 30 second walk. Then repeat up to 10 times
