Fitness Assessment
* allows for pulmonary ventilation and expired fractions of O2 and CO2 to be a measure - open
circuit spirometry
Maximal Oxygen Consumption:
- The preferred method of measuring VO2 max is - open circuit spirometry
the ability to perform moderate-to- vigorous- intensity exercise using large muscle groups in a dynamic
and continuous manner for prolonged periods of time - cardiorespiratory fitness (CFR)
CFR is dependent on the integration of the ______, ______, _____ systems - cardiorespiratory,
musculoskeletal, and respiratory systems
improving low CRF can reduce risk of _____ - All-cause mortality
CRF testing can assist an exercise professional in determining the following variables associated with
exercise programming:
-
-
-- intensity
duration
mode
Considerations for CRF test selection:
- use of information
- _______ required
, - participants ______
- _____ and _____ test
- _____ of test
- _____/______ of participant
- ______ of test
- Personnel, equipment, and facilities needed for test administration
- safety concerns - - physician supervision required
- participant's health status
- maximal or submaximal test
- duration of test
- motivation/willingness of participant
- cost of test
____ is accepted as the criterion measure of CRF - VO2 max
VO2 max can be expressed in ______ or _____ terms - relative or absolute
VO2 max can be expressed in two ways:
- ________ VO2
*allows for meaningful comparisons between individuals of different sizes - relative
Relative VO2 estimated energy for _______ - weight-bearing activities
VO2 max can be expressed in two ways:
- ________ VO2
*directly related to body size and typically greater in men - absolute
Absolute VO2 estimated energy for _______ - weight-bearing activities and non-weight-bearing
activities
