Both strokes and heart attacks occur when the blood supply to that part of the body is blocked or interrupted. Strokes occur in the brain, while heart attacks are specific to the heart muscle. Both can be caused when blockages cut off the blood supply and the tissues starves for oxygen and other nutrients. Strokes can also occur when the pressure in a blocked artery causes it to burst and the blood leaks into the brain.

Mark has been participating in a vigorous exercise routine for the past three months. However, around the start of the third month, he noticed he stopped making gains in his strength and cardiovascular endurance. Recommend two suggestions to Mark that would allow him to continue to improve his strength.
Mark is not experiencing any gains in his strength and endurance because he's not applying the principles of fitness to his exercise routine. First, he needs to ensure he is overloading his muscles every session since his body has adapted to his current routine. Next, Mark needs to make sure his routine is progressing in duration, intensity, frequency, and type. Lastly, he needs to make sure he sets specific goals so he has a roadmap to follow.

Explain how each of the three principles of cardiovascular fitness can lead to injury if they are not adhered to properly.
Overload can lead to injury if a person ignores his or her body's warning signs and continues applying stress to overworked muscles. Progression can easily lead to injury if an exercise program scales too quickly in difficulty. Specificity can contribute to injury if a person doesn't adhere to reasonable and attainable goals and attempts to do too much, too soon.
Compare and contrast the differences in a person's cardiovascular fitness between an exercise program that utilizes the progression principle and one that does not.
People who utilizes the progression principle will ensure their exercise program increases in frequency, intensity, time, and type. The changes need to happen gradually in order to ensure they make gains in their fitness program. A person who doesn't utilize the progression principle can still gain health benefits from exercising, but will not continue to improve in cardiovascular fitness.
Compare and contrast the benefits and effects of running and walking.
Running and walking both do not require special equipment and can be done anywhere. They are both exercises that are easy to control one's own efforts. Running burns 600 calories per hour, while walking burns 300 calories per hour. Running has a higher impact on joints than walking does.

Explain why living a healthy lifestyle is the most important step in preventing cardiovascular disease.
There is no single step for preventing cardiovascular disease; all aspects of a healthy lifestyle impact cardiovascular fitness. Eating a healthy diet can reduce your dietary cholesterol and help maintain a healthy body weight. Getting regular exercise can also help maintain a healthy body weight as well as strengthen the heart muscle. Avoiding smoking is another part of a healthy lifestyle that can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Which of the following best describes the alveoli?
Tiny sacs where oxygen and carbon are exchanged
------ carry's blood to the heart
Veins
Describe how to determine your maximum heart rate and why heart rate is important to monitor while exercising.
You can determine your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. It is important to stay within the range of 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate while exercising in order to benefit most from your workout safely. Monitoring heart rate is important because working your heart at maximum capacity or too high actually limits the amount of oxygen your body can get. Your heart rate can be monitored by using a heart monitor or monitoring your pulse during exercise.
