Study Notes
Cardiovascular Fitness
- Benefits include delivering more oxygen, reducing bad cholesterol (LDL), and increasing stroke volume.
- Increased range of motion is not a benefit.
Maximal Oxygen Uptake Test
- Requires specialized testing equipment to measure oxygen levels.
- Essential for assessing cardiorespiratory endurance.
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
- Optimal fitness level varies for each individual, focusing on personal health standards.
Cholesterol and Health
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) contributes to atherosclerosis, increasing heart disease risk.
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is beneficial for heart health.
Performance Factors
- Performance on PACER and one-mile run tests is influenced by cardiorespiratory fitness, motivation, and test practice.
PACER Test
- A field test that estimates cardiorespiratory endurance through a progressive shuttle run.
Laboratory and Stress Tests
- Laboratory tests help assess endurance and identify heart issues.
- Stress tests require specialized equipment and knowledge to determine endurance capabilities accurately.
Field Test
- Can be performed on multiple participants simultaneously with minimal equipment.
Physical Activities and Endurance
- Gardening is considered not vigorous enough to improve cardiorespiratory endurance compared to activities like swimming or intense basketball games.
Target Heart Rate Determination
- The most accurate method for teens is using heart rate reserve (HRR) rather than simple age-based calculations.
Monitoring Activity Intensity
- Techniques include using a heart rate monitor, measuring pulse, and self-assessing rate of perceived exertion (RPE).
Building Self-Confidence
- Enhanced by setting achievable goals and maintaining a positive mindset; avoiding difficult skills may hinder growth.
Assessment for Vigorous Activities
- Personal fitness assessments are crucial before selecting vigorous physical activities for a fitness plan.
FIT Formula for Cardiorespiratory Fitness
- Key components include being active at least five days a week, participating in 20+ minute activities, and maintaining an elevated heart rate within the target zone. Activities should progress gradually.
