Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
Understand the intensity levels at which physically inactive (sedentary) individuals and physically active
(fit) individuals should train. - Ans:✔✔-Low = 40% to 50% (sedentary)
High = 60% to 85% (fit)
Know how to calculate cardiorespiratory training zones. - Ans:✔✔-Estimate MHR (207- (.7 X age)), check
RHR for a full minute in the evening, determine HRR by subtracting the RHR from MHR, calculate the TIs
at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 90%, Multiply by the respective .30, .40...etc then add RHR to all 4 of these figures
