1. Chapter Seven Cardiovascular Fitness The race is not always to the swift but to those who keep on trying.

2. Objectives zHow can you measure your pulse rate? zWhat benefits are gained from participation in activities promoting cardiovascular fitness? zWhich health risk factors can be controlled with cardiovascular training?

3. Objectives zHow can the training principles be applied to improve cardiovascular fitness? zHow do you determine the rate at which your heart should be exercised? zHow do you know when it is safe to progress with your cardiovascular training?

4. Chapter 7 Value zInformation in this chapter will not only help you obtain additional energy and make you feel better, it will assist you in combating cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. zIt is estimated that over half of deaths caused by cardiovascular disease could have been prevented with a change in the person's lifestyle. zAll of us have control over six of the nine risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Engaging in physical activity to improve your cardiovascular fitness is perhaps your most important lifestyle decision.

5. Vocabulary caused by pressure of blood on an artery wall; corresponds to heart beat heart rate just after waking in the morning, before getting out of bed heart rate after exercise measure of blood force against the walls of the arteries condition in which fatty deposits build up on inner walls of arteries, causing narrowing of the arterial passageway pulse — resting heart rate — recovery heart rate — blood pressure — atherosclerosis —

6. Vocabulary heart rate that should not be exceeded during exercise; found by subtracting one's age from 220 60 to 90 percent of the maximum heart rate; results in greatest cardiovascular benefits from exercise “with oxygen;” term refers to energy- producing biochemical pathways in cells that use oxygen to produce energy “without oxygen;” term refers to energy producing biochemical pathways in cells that do not require oxygen to produce energy maximum heart rate — target heart rate — aerobic — anaerobic —
