Study Notes
Aerobic Capacity and Exercise
- Aerobic capacity refers to the volume of oxygen consumed by muscles during exercise.
- Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can exert in a single contraction.
- Aerobic exercise is any activity that requires oxygen to generate energy.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
- Cardiorespiratory fitness measures the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to muscles during prolonged activity.
- The FITT principle stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type, guiding exercise planning.
Assessing Exercise Intensity
- Methods to determine endurance exercise intensity do not include the sit-and-reach test; relevant methods include rating of perceived exertion, the talk test, and target heart rate.
Target Heart Rate
- The target heart rate for a 20-year-old male during exercise is between 120-190 beats per minute.
Rating of Perceived Exertion
- Borg's rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale recommends an RPE of 12 to 16 for effective cardiovascular training.
Resistance Training
- Muscular strength is enhanced with resistance loads over 60% of one's one-repetition maximum (1 RM).
- Strength and endurance exercises are measured in repetitions and sets, not just minutes.
Principles of Strength Training
- Key principles in selecting strength training exercises include specificity (focusing on particular muscular groups), exercise selection, and exercise order; static stretching is not a principle for exercise selection.
Injury and Overuse Risks
- Plantar fasciitis is a common overuse injury characterized by inflammation of the connective tissue in the foot.
Effects of Anabolic Steroids
- Anabolic steroids can cause sexual dysfunction, severe acne, mood swings, and aggressive behavior but do not typically lead to weight gain, nausea, or muscle cramps.
Hydration and Recovery
- Water is the best fluid for hydration during workouts. After intense exercise lasting 60 minutes or more, replenishing electrolytes, carbohydrates, and protein is important, while fat is not necessary for immediate recovery.
