TeamNLCS-Heart Rate and Training

Name the units of measurement used to measure Heart rate.

(a)  

In terms of duration, Heart rate is typically measured for how long?

• One minute

• 30 Seconds

• 10 Seconds

Maximum heart rate is typically calculated by

• 200 minus your age

• 220 minus your age

• 60 plus your age

The lower your resting heart rate the fitter you are

• True

• False

The resting heart of an average healthy person is typically?

• 50 BPM

• 100 BPM

• 60 BPM

What effect will endurance training have on your resting heart rate?

• Decrease

• Increase

When your resting heart reduces to under 60 B.P.M the Sport Science term used to describe this is called...

• Bradycardic

• Tachycardic

• Norcardic

Describe what is meant by a training zone?

• A zone which defines upper and lower limits of training intensities depending on what you aiming to achieving through training.

• An area to work in whilst training

• A zone which dictates how long we should train for in each intensity.

Calculate your Maximum Heart rate?

Training Zones relate to percentages of your maximum heart rate. 60-70% means you will be working in the fat burning zone. 70-80% means you are in Aerobic zone, this improves cardiovascular efficiency. 80-90% is the Anaerobic zone, where you will be fast paced and breathing hard, improving anaerobic capacity and lactate threshold. The percentage refers to the % of your maximum HR. Calculate what each zone is for your at your current age using your maximum heart rate.
