Acute exercise

Chronic exercise
repeated bouts of acute exercise over a given period of time. Exercise training can be described as short term (several days to weeks in length) or long-term (weeks, to months, to years in length)

How to calculate Heart Rate Reserve
HRmax - HRrest
Experimental exercise models: Incremental/progressive exercise test
exercise intensity increases by predefind amounts at predetermined time intervals
continue to increase the workrate following the pattern until individual feels they can no longer continue
cool down for several minutes
Experimental exercise models: Steady state exercise
a state obtained in moderate intensity exercise when the removal of lactic acid by oxidation keeps pacewith its production
workrate selected to exercise for a predetermined period of time until they can no longer continue
Experimental exercise models: Interval or Intermittent exercise
several period of predefined exercise is separated by predefined periods of rest (light exercise or full rest)
Absolute value
one that can be applied to anyone and is expressed in a standard unit of measure, ex cycling at 50 watts
calculations done in slides
Relative value
normalized to a specifc known value and is unique to an individual. ex, cycling at 60% of their vo2 max
