What is the typical resting heart rate? between 70 - 80 beats per minute
Which heart rate training zone is .65 - .75? Zone 1 - builds aerobic base and aids in recovery
Which heart rate training zone is .76 - .85 zone 2 - increases aerobic and anaerobic endurance
Which heart rate training zone is .86 - .95? zone 3 - builds high-end work
What is this formula?(220 - age) and multiply by intensity Target Heart Rate
What is this equation for? (HR max - HR resting)(desired intensity)+ HR resting Target Heart Rate: HR Reserve Method
The top number on the blood pressure is called the Systolic
The bottom number on the blood pressure is called the diastolic
This number represents the pressure in the arteries systolic
This number represents the pressure when the heart is filling with blood. diastolic
The systolic blood pressure should be under or equal to 120 mm HG
The diastolic should be under or equal to 80 mm HG
The relative percentage of body weight that is fat versus fat-free tissue is: Body composition also called percent body fat
How much body percent fat should a man have? Essential: 3-5 %, athletic: 5 - 13%, Recommended: after age 34 = 10 - 25%

What is the equation for fat mass? Body percent (scale weight)
What is the equation for Lean Body Mass Scale weight - Fat mass = Lean Body mass
Why are circumference measurements helpful? 1. good for obese clients, 2. Good for comparisons, 3. Good for assessing fat pattern and distribution, 4. Inexpensive, Easy to record, 5. Little technical error, 6. used for waist circumference, 7. used for waist-to-hip ratio
What is the name of the calculation for the ratio of height to weight? BMI
This is the equation for: Weight (lbs)/Height (inches)squared X 703 BMI example: 135/60(squared)X 703= 135/3600 (703)= 26 Body Mass Index
