    Study Notes

    Intensity Measurement

    • Dyspnea: Troubled breathing, rated on a scale from +1 to +4
    • Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE): Expresses how hard participants feel they are working based on physical sensation
    • Heart Rate: Measures the body's cardiorespiratory response to work
    • Target Heart Rate: A predetermined exercising heart rate
    • Resting Heart Rate (HRrest): The number of heart beats per minute while at complete rest
    • Maximal Heart Rate (HRmax): The fastest rate an individual's heart can beat in 1 minute

    Heart Rate Training Zones

    • 5 Training Zones:
      • Zone 1: Very Light, 50-59% of HRmax
      • Zone 2: Light, 60-69% of HRmax
      • Zone 3: Moderate, 70-79% of HRmax
      • Zone 4: Hard, 80-89% of HRmax
      • Zone 5: Maximum, 90-100% of HRmax
    • 4 Training Zones:
      • Zone 1: Light, 50-59% of HRmax
      • Zone 2: Moderate, 60-69% of HRmax
      • Zone 3: Hard, 70-79% of HRmax
      • Zone 4: Maximum, 80-89% of HRmax
    • 3 Training Zones:
      • Zone 1: Low, 65-74% of HRmax
      • Zone 2: Moderate, 75-84% of HRmax
      • Zone 3: Maximum, 85%+ of HRmax

    Talk Test

    • Zone 1: Easily holds a conversation
    • Zone 2: Can say a few sentences at a time
    • Zone 3: Can say a few words at a time
    • Zone 4: Prefers not to speak
    • Zone 5: Cannot speak

    Cardiorespiratory Fitness

    • Radial Pulse: Measured two fingers below the wrist on the thumb side of the arm
    • Heart Rate (HR): Rate at which the heart pumps, usually measured in beats per minute (bpm)
    • Stroke Volume (SV): Amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction
    • Cardiac Output (Q̇): Heart rate multiplied by stroke volume, a measure of the overall performance of the heart and the amount of blood the heart pumps over a period of time

    Anatomic Terms and Locations

    • Anterior: Front of the body
    • Posterior: Back of the body
    • Superior: Above a point of reference
    • Inferior: Below a point of reference

    Planes of Motion

    • Sagittal: Divides the body into left and right sections, movements are in a forward-backward direction
    • Frontal: Divides the body into front and back sections, movements are lateral, or side-to-side
    • Transverse: Bisects the body into top and bottom sections, movements are rotational, or across the body
