conditioning, and cooldown

2. Gives people a way to measure the changes in their level of fitness
Name ways to measure fitness. correct answers 1. Body mass index test
2. Waist to hip circumference measure
3. Step test and push-ups/half sit up test
4. Shoulder flexibility test
Name five ways to determine and individual's target heart rate correct answers 1. Percentage
of maximal heart rate method
2. Percentage of heart rate reserve/Karvonen method
3. Rate of perceived exertion method
4. Dyspnea scale
5. Top test
How do you measure body mass index/BMI? correct answers Divide weight in kilograms by
square of the height in meters
A BMI over 30% is obese
How do you find the percentage of maximal heart rate? correct answers 220 - The
individual's age
, Target heart rate = maximal heart rate x % of intensity desired x 1.15
How do you determine percent of heart rate reserve/Karovonen method? correct answers -
Maximum heart rate - resting heart rate = ?
- ? X Target percentage of maximal heart rate = ?
- ? + resting heart rate = target heart rate
How do you determine the rate of perceived exertion? correct answers Individual uses a scale
1-10 or 6-20 in order to gauge his/her level of exertion
What is the dyspnea scale? correct answers The ability to breathe is on a scale of 0 to 4 with
(breathing easily = zero)

oxygen to the muscles rapidly and efficiently

walk/run test
2. Rockport walking test
3. Test that measures the volume of oxygen in the blood during exercise
Name three ways to measure body composition correct answers 1. Bioelectrical impedance
(tiny electrical impulses are sent through the body tissue)
2. Anthropometric assessment (any direct measurement of the body i.e., tape measure)
3. Hydrostatic weighing (assessing the density of the body that is conducted by submerging
the individual in water)
For an instructor, what is the most important thing about the music? correct answers The

Name the 3 stages an individual goes through when learning a motor scale correct answers 1.
Cognitive stage (participants will not fully understand the scale but will make an effort to
remember)
2. Associative stage (participants will remember the steps and will be concentrating on
