Correct Answers
Age—
Cigarette smoking—
Hypertension—
Dyslipidemia—
Prediabetes—
Obesity—
Sedentary lifestyle— - ANS What are some major risk factors and classifications
for cardiovascular disease?
Low risk= asymptomatic and meet no more than one risk factor threshold
Moderate risk = men and women who are asymptomatic and meet 2 or more of the
risk factors
High risk= symptomatic or those with known cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic
disease - ANS What are the 3 risk classifications for cardiovascular disease?
,Cardiorespiratory endurance - ANS The body's ability to extract and use oxygen in
a manner that permits continuous exercise, physical work, or physical activity.
Every physical fitness evaluation should include as assessment of this.
Aerobic power (or aerobic capacity) - ANS the ability to supply oxygen to the
working muscles during physical activity
VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption) - ANS The rate of oxygen uptake during
maximal exercise. Typically expressed: mL•kg-1•min-1. This is the most reliable
(r>.80) and valid measure of cardiorespiratory endurance.
Maximal oxygen consumption - ANS Reflects the capacity of the heart, lungs, and blood
to deliver oxygen to the working muscles during dynamic exercise involving large muscle
mass. Considered the criterion measure of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Average sedentary individual is close to 35 mL•kg-1•min-1
Elite endurance athletes often average close to 70 mL•kg-1•min-1
Current highest:
Male: 97.5 mL•kg-1•min-1 (18 yr, cyclist, 2012)
Female: 78.6 mL•kg-1•min-1 (1984 Olympic marathon winner) - ANS VO2 max
results vary greatly. What is the average sedentary individuals VO2 max? Elite
endurance athletes? What is the current highest VO2 max?
42-45
Why females have lower VO2 max—Muscle mass, lung size, blood volume - ANS VO2
max in untrained college males generally ranges from? Females values re usually 3
mL lower at the same level of fitness. Why?
,Genetics
Exercise
Age
Gender
Environmental temperature
Humidity
Altitude
Emotional conditions
Loss of sleep
Mode of exercise
Body fat level
Running efficiency
Motivation
Digestion
Muscle fiber composition - ANS What are some variables that
influence cardiorespiratory endurance/measurement?
They reached the VO2 max— a plateau in oxygen consumption despite an increase in
workload - ANS As exercise intensity increases, but their ability in oxygen
consumption decreases that means that?
Most reliable (rxx' > .80) and valid measure
Others:
-Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) greater than 1.1
, -Heart rate near age-predicted maximal levels (220- age) - ANS How do we measure
maximal oxygen consumption?
Most common maximal exercise tests
-Treadmill (Best or walking)
-Stationary cycle
-Step bench
-Swimming flume
-Arm crank device
*make sure they are using something they are comfortable with*
Each participant performs the exercise under a specific protocol until exhaustion
Expired gases are monitored with a gas analysis system during a maximal exercise
performance - ANS What are some laboratory methods to test maximal exercise?
-Maximal exercise performance ->timed protocols, without measurement of
expired gases (r > .90)
-Submaximal exercise testing - less than maximal effort
*Linear relationship: HR, workload, & VO2 max*
-Perceptual effort during exercise testing—> rating of perceived exertion (RPE)
RPE x 10 - ANS What are some other laboratory methods for estimating/predicting
VO2 max?
Heart rate, workload, and VO2 max - ANS What is the linear relationship for estimating
VO2 max when doing a sub maximal test?
