Document Summary
Muscle responds to exercise via (peripheral changes): o blood flow (vasodilation) Central adaptations to training blood supply / vascularization to heart muscle: more delivery of blood to cardiac tissue, good for heart patients, better delivery of oxygen. The ability to perform dynamic exercise involving large muscle groups at moderate to high intensity for long periods. Endurance can you sustain intensity for a certain period of time. Every test in path is giving a prediction for vo2max. Vo2 max = maximum oxygen uptake (absolute max amount of o2 body is using) 3: you won"t see this with path tests b/c they"re all submaximal tests, everything is predictive, no max tests so no plateaus. Gender and aging aerobic power of females is generally 10% lower than male for similar ages. Client with knee issues choose bike over track or treadmill b/c it"s non-weight bearing exercise, less stress on knees: take into consideration health concerns or health status.
