CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS
✧ The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the muscles and ability of the muscles to use oxygen efficiently. ✧ 2 types of cardio: Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
AEROBIC EXERCISE ✧ Physical activity that requires oxygen to produce necessary activity ✧ Over 2 min. ✧ 70-80% Max Heart Rate ✧ Longer duration, less intensity
✧ Examples: jogging, speed walking, biking for long distances ✧ Sports: Rowing, Nordic skiing, cycling, land paddling ✧ Activities: Mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, vacuuming (depending on intensity) ✧ Training Time: 20 min. or longer ✧ Frequency: Daily
ANAEROBIC EXERCISE ✧ Physical activity that DOES NOT require oxygen for physical activity ✧ Under 2 min. ✧ % Max Heart Rate ✧ Shorter duration, more intensity
✧ Examples: Weight lifting, Sprinting ✧ Sports: Volleyball, Football, Baseball, Skateboarding (skate park), Tennis ✧ Activities: Washing windows, laundry, dusting (depending on intensity) ✧ Training Time: repeated short bursts of activity ✧ Frequency: 3-4 days a week
HEART RATE ZONES ➢ MAX HR=220-AGE ex YEARS OLD = 207 MAX HR ➢ AEROBIC EXERCISE=60-80% MAX HR ( ) ex. 207 x 0.70 = 145ex. 207 x 0.80 = 165 ➢ ANAEROBIC EXERCISE=80-100% MAX HR ( )
