Includes discuss of workout plan factors such as mode, frequency, duration, and intensity (also known as FITT) and recommendations for the selection of aerobic exercise. The lecture addresses some information in the Learning Guide:

Cardiovascular

  • Mode: Aerobic in nature. Uses large muscle groups and is repetitive in nature.
  • Frequency: 3 or more times a week. Indicate using the "date" column in the log.
  • Intensity: In an aerobic zone most of the workout. An objective intensity zone must be used. The Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) method is recommended (at 60-85% HRR intensity). On the log, show the target zone values and several intensity values (3+) taken periodically during the workout. Also record preceived exertion as a subjective workout intensity.
  • Duration: At least 20 min. in an aerobic zone. Record total exercise time (including warm-up) in "Total Time" column.
