A common term to describe all forms of low-intensity exercise designed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness.
A term that means "without oxygen"; in cells it pertains to energy-producing biochemical pathways that do not require oxygen to produce energy.
The breakdown of this chemical in the body results in the release of energy that can be used to fuel muscular contraction:
Development of cardiorespiratory fitness through regular exercise has been shown to improve all of the following EXCEPT:
A by-product of glucose metabolism, produced primarily during intense exercise:
The blood vascular system that circulates blood from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back to the left side of the heart is called:
The blood vascular system that circulates blood from the left side of the heart, throughout the body, and back to the right side of the heart is called:
The vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart:
The vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart:
The vessels that permit the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and nutrients between the blood and tissues:
The amount of blood the heart pumps per minute:
The amount of blood pumped per heartbeat:
The pressure of the blood in the arteries at the level of the heart during the contraction phase of the heart:
The pressure of the blood in the arteries at the level of the heart during the resting phase of the heart:
Hypertension (high blood pressure) usually is considered to be a blood pressure of greater than _____ for systolic and _____ for diastolic.
The highest oxygen consumption achievable during exercise; a laboratory measure of the endurance capacity of both the cardiorespiratory system and exercising skeletal muscles:
The work intensity during graded, incremental exercise at which there is a rapid accumulation of blood lactic acid:
The cardiorespiratory endurance exercise prescription includes:
| frequency, intensity, mode, and duration. |
| frequency, intensity, and cool-down. |
| frequency, intensity, warm-up, and cool-down. |
| warm-up, duration, mode, and cool-down. |
The exercise training session is composed of three primary elements:
The use of a variety of activity modes for training the cardiorespiratory system:
Target heart rate is the range of heart rates that corresponds to an exercise intensity of approximately_____ to _____% of maximal aerobic capacity.
The training intensity above which there is improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness:
Exercise durations that have been shown to be most effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness are between ___ and ___ minutes.
The primary purpose of the cool-down includes all of the following EXCEPT:
The recommended frequency of exercise to improve cardiorespiratory fitness is:
The term used to indicate continuous exercise that requires a steady, submaximal exercise intensity:
Repeated sessions or intervals of relatively intense exercise followed by rest periods that should be as long or slightly longer than the interval durations:
A type of training meaning "speed play" that is like interval training, but not as rigid in its work-to-rest interval:
Two key factors to assess before developing an exercise prescription for cardiorespiratory fitness are:
Regardless of your initial fitness level, an exercise prescription for improving cardiorespiratory fitness has what three phases?
