Cardiorespiratory Fitness Training

The ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity

Cardiorespiratory training programs that systematically progress clients through various stages to achieve optimal levels of physiological, physical and performance adaptations by placing stress on the cardiorespiratory system

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that do not necessarily relate to the more intense exercise that is to follow

Low-intensity exercise consisting of movements that mimic those that will be included in the more intense exercise that is to follow.

the number of training sessions in a given time frame

The level of demand that a given activity places on the body

The highest rate of oxygen transport and utilization achieved at maximal physical exertion

The difference between resting and maximal or peak oxygen consumption

The point during graded exercise in which ventilation increases disproportionately to oxygen uptake, signifying a switch form predominately aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production

the body will adapt to the level of stress place on it and will then require more or varied amounts of stress to produce a higher level of adaptation
