Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
You can improve or maintain how well heart and lungs work by applying the FITT principle for
muscular endurance
strength
flexibility
cardiorespiratory fitness
Intensity during a cardiorespiratory endurance workout means
how often an activity is performed
how long an activity is performed
how hard an activity is performed
the type of activity being performed
To improve cardiorespiratory endurance the frequency of the workout sessions should be
2-3 days per week
1-2 days per week
3-5 days per week
5-7 days per week
Cardiorespiratory FITNESS is best described as the ability of the
heart and lungs to work efficiently to supply oxygen to the muscles
joints and bones to move through full range of motion
muscles to work over a long period of time
body to burn calories efficiently
How long a cardiorespiratory fitness session lasts is called
frequency
type
intensity
time
If you are walking at a pace that causes your heart to beat less than 50% of its maximum heart rate, which FITT principle variable do you need to change to improve your cardiorespiratory endurance?
frequency
time
intensity
type
Which training principle applies gradually increasing exercise or an activity to achieve better fitness?
Regularity
Individuality
Overload
Progression
When you are exercising hard enough to make your heart stronger, but not to exceed a safer upper limit for your heart, this is called your
maximum heart rate
target heart rate
recovery heart rate
resting heart rate
To measure your heart rate you can use
heart rate monitor
talk test
rate of perceived exertion
all of the above
What is the FITT principle recommendation for the time that will give you the MOST benefit from your cardiorespiratory workouts?
20 minutes
30 minutes
60 minutes
45 minutes
