According to AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), FITT-at-a-Glance,
participants should aim for a cardiorespiratory exercise intensity that burns a minimum of
______kilo calories per week.
Ans 1000 (1000 calories = .001 kcal; 1 kcal= 1000 calories)
Kilo calorie
Ans "The large calorie or kilogram calorie approximates the energy needed to increase the
temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C. This is about 4.184 kJ, and exactly 1000 small calories."

Heart Rate Reserve
Ans (HRR) is the difference between a person's measured or predicted maximum heart rate
and resting heart rate. Some methods of measurement of exercise intensity measure
percentage of heart rate reserve.
