SSEH3301 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Quadriceps Femoris Muscle
Document Summary
Insufficient for any improvement in aerobic fitness o for weight controllers, minimum target is 45 60 minutes/day o pros. Not the best for energy cost return (unless duration increases to match the total tec) Lesser fitness improvement compared to running o cons. (rule of thumb: 1. 5 2x duration to match running tec) Must cycle 2x as fast as running speed. Exercise considerations: o suitable environment for continuous cycling activity with no intermittent pauses. (example of cycling on the road and fighting traffic and this will interfere with energy cost). Other precautions seating height, handle bars, switching of gears. Improvement in leg strength and endurance o pros o cons. Local fatigue (of quadriceps endurance) might occur before training stimulus starts. (tire out even before stimulus) o hrmax = (210 age) Swimming (rule of thumb: 1. 5 2x duration to match running tec)
