| Other Theories | Decision-Making Theory,Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Bahaviour, Self-Determination Theory |
| Decision-Making Theory | -People decide to engage in a behaviour by weighing the behaviour's perceived benefits (advantages) and costs (disadvantages). -If benefits>costs, then client is likely to exercise. |
| Decision-Making Theory(cont) | -Position in stages of motivational change influences perceptions of benefits and costs --Early stages:perceived costs outweigh benefits --Later stages:perceived benefits outweigh costs |
| Theory of Reasoned Action | -Intention is the most important determinant of behaviour and is highly influenced by one's attitudes and subjective behavioural norms. -Belief that exercise yields positive outcomes is a favourable attitude about being physically active. |
| Theory of Reasoned Action(cont) | -Subjective behavioural norms are perceptions about what others think or believe about exercise. |
| Theory of Planned Behaviour | People intend to perform a specific behaviour (e.g. exercise) if they: -evaluate it positively -believe that others think it is important, and perceive the behaviour to be under their control. |
| Theory of Planned Behaviour(Cont) | An extension of Theory of Reasoned Action, it considers the client's perception of behavioural control |
| Self-Determination Theory | -Describes how presence or absence of specific psychological needs (i.e. autonomy, competence, and relatedness) impacts behaviour through a continuum of motivation. -Four levels of motivation |
| Four level of motivation 1 | 1. Amotivation: no intention or desire to engage in exercise |
| Four level of motivation 2 | 2. Other-determined motivation:exercise motivation from outside factors(e.g. rewards,guilt, fear, or pressure); long-term adherence is unlikely |
| Four level of motivation 3 | 3. Self-determined extrinsic motivation:person values exercise;extrinsically motivated by factors like improved health or fitness gains;one freely chooses exercise without a sense of outside pressure |
| Four level of motivation 4 | 4. Intrinsic motivation:exercise for sheer enjoyment and satisfaction brought to sense of well-being;enjoying exercise for its own sake leads to adherence |

| The Energy Continuum(Cont2) | -The longer the exercise, the more important aerobic metabolism it becomes |
| Lactic Acid & Lactate Production | -Lactic acid is produced in muscle cells in the absence of oxygen -NADH transfers its hydrogen to pyruvic acid forming lactic acid -Amount of lactic acid depends on the balance between its production and its removal |
| Lactic Acid & Lactate Production(Cont) | -What conditions lead to lactic acid production ? --Muscle contraction --Fast twitch fibers --Insufficient amounts of O2 |
| Lactate Removal | -Lactate is removed from the bloodstream relative quickly following exercise |
| Lactate Removal(Cont1) | -Lactate can be used by the heart as an energy source -Lactate can be converted to glucose in the liver via the Cory cycle -Working muscles can convert lactate back into pyruvate and use it as an energy source |
| Lactate Removal(Cont2) | -Generally, half of the total lactate is removed in about 15-25 minutes -Near-resting levels can be achieved in 30 - 60 minutes -Evidence suggest that lactate removal occurs more quickly when individual exercise during recovery |
| Lactate Removal(Cont3) | -Intensity of the exercise should not exceed 40 % Vo 2 max -Higher intensities can deplete glycogen stores and delay re-synthesis |
| Slow & Fast Fibers | -Not all muscle fibers are alike -Slightly different forms of myosin exist with different properties -Results in fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers -Force Production in Fast & Slow twitch Fibers |
| Slow Twitch Fibers | Slow-twitch oxidative (SO) Fibers (AKA Type I Fibers) -Contract slowly -Smaller diameter -Greater blood supply |

| Fast Twitch Fiber(Cont1) | -Less blood supply -Fewer mitochondria -Fatigue quickly -Fast Twitch Fibers -Cross bridge formation, release, and reformation occurs more rapidly |
| Fast Twitch Fiber(Cont2) | -Little myoglobin -Large deposits of glycogen |
| Two types of fast twitch fibers: | -Type IIa-Fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG) -Type IIb-Fast-twitch glycolytic (FG) |
| Distribution of Fast & Slow Twitch Fibers | -Most muscles have a combination of both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers -Speed & power athletes tend to have a larger proportion of fast-twitch fibers -Endurance athletes tend to have a larger proportion of slow-twitch fibers |
| Size Principle | -Describe how motor units are recruited during exercise -Recruitment during isometric and concentric contractions is controlled by the size of the motor unit |
| Size Principle(Cont) | -Small motor units have the lowest firing threshold and are recruited first -As force requirements increase, the larger fast-twitch motor units are recruited -The largest motor units (type IIb) have the highest threshold and are recruited last |

| Other Testing Protocols | -Step tests:Several exist;require use of metronome;VO2 calculations are based on step height and cadence -Recumbent stepper:Alternative for testing those with neuromuscular conditions affecting gait,coordination, and balance |
| Other Testing Protocols(cont) | -Stair stepper:Good for aerobic step practitioners. -Rowing ergometer:One exists for noncompetitive or unskilled rowers. |
| Submaximal Protocols | -Not direct assessments of cardiorespiratory capacity -May be more practical than maximal exertion protocols -Can be performed on many modalities -Can involve multiple stages or just one |
| Submaximal Protocols(cont) | -Can determine VO2 via calculations or nomograms -Rely on underlying assumptions |
| Submaximal Assumptions | -Steady-state HR is achieved and is consistent for work rate -Relationship between HR and VO2 is linear for HRs between 110 and 150 bpm. -Mechanical efficiency is the same for all tested. -HRmax is similar for all of same age. |
| Field Tests | -Practical -Inexpensive -Expedient -Easy to administer -Good for assessing numerous people simultaneously |
| Field Tests(cont) | -Suitable for a variety of settings -Generally based on postexertion HR measures -Least desirable manner of assessing cardiorespiratory fitness -Not for diagnosing CHD |
| Testing Children | -Treadmills are a better modality than cycles. -ACSM recommends modified Balke or modified Bruce protocols with 2- minute stages -Field tests may be used. |
| Testing Older Adults | -Use an extended warm-up at a low exertion starting stage. -Be ready to adjust treadmill speed for client safety. -May need to adjust grade and not speed. -Target a total test time of 8 to 12 minutes. |
| Testing Older Adults(cont) | -Extend stage duration to allow steady-state HR achievement -Cycle ergometry may be preferable for client safety comfort. -Field tests are also a possiblity |
| Designing Cardiorespiratory Exercise Programs :Objectives | 1. Identify the basic components of a cardiorespiratory (CR) exercise program. 2. Tailor exercise prescriptions to meet an individual's goals 3. Identify exercise modalities for CR programming |
| Designing Cardiorespiratory Exercise Programs :Objectives(cont) | 4. Differentiate between various CR programming techniques 5. Understand dose-response relationships for frequency, intensity, and duration as they pertain to aerobic fitness |
| The Art of Exercise Prescription | -Exercise program must meet client's needs and interests;what is the client's goal? -Programming for improved health is different than programming for cardiorespiratory fitness. -The key is individualization |
| Elements of CR Workout | 1. Warm-up:increase blood flow (5-10min) 2. Endurance:aerobic conditioning (20-60 min) 3. Cool-down: reduce cardiovascular complication risk (5-10 min) |
| Elements of CR Workout (cont) | 4. Stretching :reduce change of soreness and cramps (>_10min) |
| Prescription for Improved Health | FITT Principle |
| FITT Principle | -frequency:most, preferable all days of the week -Intensity:moderate-intensity (3-6 METs) -Time:150 to 300 minutes/week;varies related to intensity -Type:modality of endurance-type activities |
| Prescription for CR Fitness | -Frequency:3 to 5 days a week -Intensity:related to initial fitness status;use %heart rate reserve (HRR) or VO2reserve (Vo2R) -Time: 20 to 60 minutes continuous exercise |
| Prescription for CR Fitness(cont) | -Mode:rhythmic,aerobic, large muscle groups -Progression:based on conditioning effect |
| Modalities for CR prescriptions | -Large muscle groups -Rhythmic -Provide mechanism to initially monitor intensity |
| Modalities for CR prescriptions(cont) | -Progress from type A modalities to types B and C as skill and fitness levels increase -Include type D modalities in addition to regular program;great for adding variety |
| Alternative CR Modalities | -Options are available beyond traditional modalities -Varying levels of perceived exertion(RPE) exist for a given HR or %VO2max response -Cycling has high localized fatigue in legs |
| Alternative CR Modalities(cont1) | -Some result in hihger HR than when on a treadmill exercising at a similar %VO2max -At the same RPE, a treadmill produces greater energy expenditure |
| Alternative CR Modalities(cont2) | -Some modalities cause exaggerated HR responses -This can cause your target HR's to be over/underestimated |
| How to Progress CR Workload | -Increase treadmill speed and incline. -Increase cycling rpm and resistance. -Increase step cadence and height for aerobic bench stepping. |
| How to Progress CR Workload(Cont) | -Include upper body component or use light hand weights with lower body exercise. -Increase velocity for in-line skating. |
| Selecting CR Modality for Older Adults | -Focus on functional,enjoyable, convenient exercise. -Waling and tai chi are good options -Consider the following:Deteriorating Vision, Neuromuscular coordination challenges,Musculoskeletal challenges |
| Selecting Intensity | -ACSM recommends using %VO2reserve(%VO2R)over other options -What is VO2R? |
| VO2R=(VO2max(or peak) - VO2rest) | -Directly related to aerobic fitness -Forms the basis of exercise prescription -Equates (1:1) with Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) -Can also substitute METS for VO2 -Rest =3.5 ml/kg/min = 1 MET -Any VO2(ml/kg/min) can be converted to METs by dividing by 3.5 |
| Prescribing Exercise by VO2R | -For sedentary or individuals with poor initial fitness:Start in range 30% to 45% VO2R |
| Prescribing Exercise by VO2R (cont) | -For healthy individuals:Start in range 40 % to 85% VO2R -To improve CR fitness:Exercise in range 55% to 80 % VO2R -To keep improving CR fitness:Systematically increase % VO2R |
| Words of Caution About METs | -MET value estimates for different activities can vary greatly -MET values differ for youth and adults -Values are estimates of energy expenditure |
| Words of Caution About METs(cont) | -Environmental factors and skill level can influence actual energy expenditure -Better to use METs plus either HR or RPE to keep client safe. |
| Exercise Intensity Using HR | -Prescribing exercise based on HR is easy, but comes with limitations-especially when estimating maximal HR(HRmax) from age or given certain environmental or medical factor. |
| Exercise Intensity Using HR (cont) | -Three methods to chose from: HR versus MET graphing method, HRR method, %HR max method |
| HR Versus MET Graphing | While conducting a GXT, dot he following: -Record and plot steady-state HR for each stage -Plot HR on y-axis;MET levels or VO2 on x-axis -If not a maximal exertion GXT, extrapolate to HRmax |
| HR Versus MET Graphing(cont) | -Determine desired %VO2R range -Locate corresponding HRs -Can now determine HR range -Remember, some modalities produce higher HR responses. |
| Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) | -No actual GXT for HRmax? Use this method! -Target HR = [%exercise intensity x (HRmax - HRrest)] + HRrest -HRR also called Karvonen method |
| Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) (cont) | -%HRR approximates %Vo2R -Set programs in range 40 to 85 %HRR |
| %HRmax | -Can also just use a percentage of maximal HR -Set program in range 64% to 94% HRmax -Approximates 45% to 85% VO2R or HRR |
| %HRmax (cont) | -Program in lower end of range for those of lower levels of CR fitness. -This method gives lower value than does %HRR, but recommended for older clients. -If no actual HRmax is available, you must estimate it. |
| Exercise Intensity Using RPE | -RPE values are valid and reliable measures. -Subjective interpretation of effort by client. -Client "scores" effort required by each stage of GXT using an RPE or Omni scale value. |
| Exercise Intensity Using RPE(cont) | -RPE range of 12 to 16 approximates 40 % to 84 % HRR -May use RPE instead of or with HR |
| Monitoring Exercise Intensity | -Necessary to maintain client's safety -HR -RPE -Talk test:If client can't talk comfortably while exercising, the intensity is too high. |
| Exercise Frequency | -Depends on client's goals, fitness level, preferences, and time availability. -Health benefits at 5 days a week -If CR fitness is low , 5 days a week of low-to- moderate-intensity exercise |
| Exercise Frequency(cont) | -To improve moderate to excellent CR fitness, 3 to 5 days a week of moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise -May incorporate several short-duration(10min) bouts in same day |
| Exercise Duration | -Duration is inversely related to intensity. -ACSM recommends 20 to 60 minutes continuous or discontinuous exercise. |
| Exercise Duration (Cont1) | -In improvement stage, increase duration every 2 or 3 weeks until reaching 30 minutes continuous exercise. -Alternatively, use the caloric cost of exercise to determine duration. |
| Exercise Duration (Cont2) | -Target caloric threshold is 150 to 400 kcal/day for minimum of 1,000 kcal/week |
| Exercise Duration by Caloric Cost | -Initial conditioning phase:long enough to expend 200 to 600 kcal/day -Improvement stage:long enough to expend 1,000 to 2,00 kcal/day --Gradually change intensity,frequency,duration |
| Progression of Exercise | -Improvement of CR fitness is a result of overload. -Greatest improvement in first 6 to 8 weeks. -Overload comes from adjustments in intensity and duration -Extent of improvement is on individual basis. |
| Progression of Exercise (cont) | -Must continually overload the CR system. -The lowest starting point equals the highest gain. -Common gains in VO2max range from 5%to 20% |
| Stages of Progression | -Initial conditioning -Improvement -Maintenace |
| Initial conditioning | 1 to 6 weeks , based on individual -Low to moderate-intensity exercise early on -Include warm-up and col-down (emphasize stretching) -3to5 days a week |
| Initial conditioning (cont) | -1 to 6 weeks, depending on rate of adaptation -Target is 20 to 30 continuous minutes -Once client exercises for 30 continuous minutes at 55% to 60 % HRR, client is ready to move to improvement stage. |
| Improvement | usually 4 to 8 months -See rapid changes in CR function and aerobic capacity -Continue changing duration,frequency, and intensity independently of each other. |
| Improvement (cont1) | -Increase duration and frequency before intensity -Goal is a minimum of 20 continuous minutes of moderate - to vigorous- intensity exercise 5 days a week -Then increase 5 % HRR Every 6th session -May last 4 to 8 months |
| Improvement (cont2) | -When target fitness level is attained, progress to maintenance stage. |
| Maintenance | for the rest of their life -Goal is to maintain all that was attained in improvement stage. -If intensity stays the same, you can reduce frequency to 3 days a week. |
| Maintenance(cont) | -Use type C and D activities for the other 2 days Include variety to reduce the possibility of boredom. |
| Method or Modes of Aerobic Exercise | -Continuous or discontinuous -Walking,jogging, cycling -Aerobic dance -Step aerobics -Step ergometry and stair climbing |
| Method or Modes of Aerobic Exercise (cont1) | -Elliptical trainers -Water-based exercise -Numerous new options -Continuous exercise maintains an elevated HR |
| Method or Modes of Aerobic Exercise (cont2) | -Discontinuous exercise allows higher exercise intensity and higher total caloric expenditure -Discontinuous exercise is also called intermittent training. |
| Discontinuous Aerobic Exercise | Examples:Interval training, Spinning, CIrcuit resistance training, Treading |
| Discontinuous Aerobic Exercise(cont1) | Circuit resistance exercise -Results in fewer improvements in aerobic fitness compared to other modalities -Should not be used to improve aerobic fitness |
| Discontinuous Aerobic Exercise(cont2) | -Good for maintenance phase -Can add cardio stations between resistances stations (super circuit resistance training) |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program | -Must meet client's goals and incorporate client's interests. -Need to consider client's demographic profile (age, gender,fitness level, exercise preferences). -Start by evaluating client's risk factor profile then stratify client's CVD risk level |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont1) | -Round out picture via lifestyle evaluation. -Conduct GXT and record the data. -Must meet client's goals and incorporate client's interests -Needs to consider clients' demographic profile (age,gender,fitness level,exercise preferences) |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont2) | -Start by evaluating client's risk factor profile -Then stratify client's CVD risk level -Round out picture via lifestyle evaluation -Conduct GXT and record the data -Use their measured (or estimated) VO2max |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont3) | -Determine if initial conditioning period is required. -Compute target range for exercise intensity (%VO2R or %HRR). -Determine range of HRs that match exercise intensity anchor points. |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont4) | -Progress exercise prescription by increasing duration first. -Then increase exercise intensity -Compute caloric cost of prescribed exercise -At initial conditioning phrase target is 752 to 1,040 net kcal/week. |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont5) | -At improvement phase target 1,040 to 1,874 net kcal/week. -During improvement phase client meets ACSM's >1,000 kcal/wk recommendation. |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont6) | -During maintenance phase, add variety. -Multimodal exercise (cross-training) programs are popular methods for increasing CR fitness. -Difficult to prescribe program based on specific MET levels;use range of MET levels. |
| Personalizing an Aerobic Program(cont7) | -HR will vary based on modality utilized. -HR response during weight-bearing exercise at the same exercise intensity is higher compared to nonweight-bearing modalities. -RPE is good way to monitor intensity |
