Cardiorespiratory exercise – aerobic (walking, skiing) and anaerobic (high intensity weight training, shot put, 100m sprint)
Aerobic and anaerobic activities have a profound effect on the overall physical and mental health of a participant. Cardiorespiratory exercise is especially important in preventing cardiovascular disease. Increase in chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, back pain, obesity, and diabetes is directly related to a lack of physical activity and often times the difference between a healthy and unhealthy heart.
Additional benefits of cardiorespiratory activity include increasing flexibility, performance, sense of well being, blood lipid profile, insulin, sensitivity, glucose tolerance and immunity while decreasing daily fatigue, anxiety, depression, coronary artery disease, hypertension, risk of diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and obesity.
Even though cardiorespiratory exercise is important for your health, any form of exercise including cardiorespiratory exercise must have certain guidelines to allow for the development of a safe program. The National Academy of Sports Medicine uses the FITTE factors for this purpose. Frequency, intensity, time, type, and enjoyment
Intensity – level of demand measured by HR
Rating of perceived exertion
To measure heart rate while exercising – take for 10 sec and multiplied by 6
Warmup, workout, cool down
