Aerobic Fitness
Based on:
Franks, B.D. (1999). Personalizing Physical Activity Prescription. Scottsdale, AZ: Holcomb Hathaway Publishers.
4
Components of Cardiovascular Training Session
Warm-up prior to physical activity – Prepare heart & other muscles for more intense activity– Raise core body temperature
Physical activity participation– Principles of Fitness (FITT)
• Frequency
• Intensity
• Time (duration)
• Type (mode)
• Overload (more than normal)
• Progression (using FITT to increase overload)
Cool-down after physical activity
5
Related Terminology (Howley & Franks, 1997)
Cardio: heart
Vascular: blood vessels
Respiratory: lungs and ventilation
Aerobic: working with oxygen
6
Structure/Function of the CV System
Heart: Fist-sized Blood Flow: RAV Lungs LAV Aorta Body Function:
– Systole (contraction)– Diastole (rest)– Blood pressure (sbp/dbp)
Factors influencing HR:– Body position -Temperature– Fitness -Stimulants– Age -Depressants– Gender– Mood
7
Benefits of Participation in Cardiovascular Activities
Psychological Health– Stress management– Reduced nervous tension
Increased Cardiovascular System Efficiency– Control of various chronic degenerative diseases:
• Adult-onset diabetes
• Asthma
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• CVD
8
Measuring Heart Rate Why?
– To optimize health benefits– To assess student EFFORT
Where?– Radial (below thumb)– Carotid (on neck)
How?– Palpate for: 60s, 30s x 2, 15s x 4, 10s x 6, 6s + 0– HR monitor
Cautions:– Never use thumb to palpate– Count 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. – Higher HR greater measurement error
9
Determining HR Zones Max HR (MHR): 220-age Resting HR (RHR):
– Awaken & check before lifting head; repeat for 6 days and average
– In school setting: lay down on floor for 10 mins then check
Target Heart Rate Zones (THRZ):– 50-60%MHR: sufficiently strenuous daily PA– 60-70%MHR: fat burning– 70-80%MHR: improved CV endurance– 80-100%MHR: competitive training
Recovery Heart Rate:– How long it takes the heart to return to “normal” after PA– Usually one, three, five minute intervals
10
Karvonen Formula More precise for very fit or unfit students
– 220-age = MHR– MHR-RHR = HRR (reserve)– HRR * lower %MHR = low1– Low1+RHR = lower limit of THRZ– HRR*upper %MHR = up1– Up1+RHR = upper limit of THRZ
General Formula:220-35=185 185
x 0.7 x .85130 157
Karvonen Formula:220-35=185–50=135 135
x 0.7 x .85 95 115 +50 +50 145 165

Developmentally Appropriate Guidelines
Table 6.2 (p. 89):– Primary Ss (K-2): Introduce concept of feeling heart rate and
noticing changes with activity levels
– 4th-5th grade Ss: use carotid artery & wrist to count pulse, calculate MHR & THRZ
– MHR and THRZ (60-75% MHR)
Table 6.4 (p. 91):– Primary Ss (K-2): 3-5 minutes
– Intermediate (3-5): 10 minutes
– MS/HS: 20+ minutes

Personalized Physical Activity Recommendations
Model for Making Personalized Physical Activity Recommendations (Franks, 1999):
Level 1: Activities for Everyone
Level 2: Activities for Sedentary People
Level 3: Activities for Moderately Active People (Health)
Level 4: Activities for Moderately Active People (Fitness)
Level 5: Activities for Vigorously Active People (Performance)

EPM
15
Activities for Everyone “Activities for everyone should be of the type that can
be done as part of an individual’s routines at home, work, and during leisure time” (Franks, 1999).
– Walk or ride your bike to school rather than take the bus– Climb stairs rather than using the elevator– Park farther away from the store and walk– Perform daily stretching to prevent low back problems
16
Activities for Sedentary People Sedentary: Cannot walk for 30 minutes continuously
without discomfort or pain
“Inactive individuals should continue to find ways to include activity in their daily routine and should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity daily” (Franks, 1999).
– Walking, yard work, cycling, slow dancing, low-impact aerobics
– Physical activity periods broken into 2-4 segments daily
– Emphasis on the accumulation of daily physical activity rather than intensity
17
Activities for Moderately Active People With Health Goals
Moderately active: Accumulate 30 minutes of activity daily, or who can walk 30 minutes continuously without pain or discomfort, but could not jog 3 miles (or walk 6 miles at a brisk pace, cycle 12 miles or swim ¾ mile) continuously without discomfort and undue fatigue
Individuals with specific health goals should perform the following activities (Franks, 1999):– Cardiovascular
• Accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity
• Include longer duration and/or higher intensity
18
Activities for Moderately Active People With Fitness Goals
Individuals with specific fitness goals should perform the following activities (Franks, 1999):– Aerobic Fitness
• 20-40 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, 3-5 days/week
• THRZ 70-85% for adults
• Fast walking, jogging, cycling, fast dancing, low- to moderate-impact exercise to music, swimming
19
Activities for Vigorously Active People With Performance Goals
Vigorously active: Can run 3 miles continuously (or walk fast 6 miles, cycle 12 miles or swim ¾ mile) within the THRZ 3-4 times a week without discomfort or pain
Individuals who are vigorously active and who have specific performance goals should perform the following activities (Franks, 1999):
– Sport or Physical Task(s)• Develop and/or maintain fitness levels• Interval training• Motor tasks related to performance• Specific skills related to performance• Strategy and mental readiness
20
Muscular Fitness
Lecture based on the work of Roberts, S.O. (1996). Developing Strength in Children: A Comprehensive Guide. Reston, VA: AAHPERD Publications.
21
Muscular Strength andEndurance Defined
Muscular strength– “The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert maximal
force against a resistance” (AAHPERD, 1999)– One repetition maximum (1RM)
Muscular endurance– “The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force over a
period of time against a resistance less than the maximum an individual can move” (AAHPERD, 1999)
– Submaximal muscle contractions over a high number of repetitions with little rest/recovery
Often difficult to separate the two in physical education
22
Major Controversies Related to Youth Strength Training
(Roberts, 1996) Myth 1: Children are not able to develop strength
beyond that generally associated with normal growth and development
Myth 2: Children should not lift weights or participate in resistance training programs because of the risk of injury to the epiphyseal plates
Myth 3: There is not enough evidence to support a structured resistance training program for children
23
Factors Influencing Children’s Strength Development
(Kramer, Fry, Frykman, Conroy & Hoffman, 1996) Hormonal Influence
– Increase in circulating androgens– Increase in lean body mass
Neurological Influence– Increased motor unit activation– Neural myelination development
Fiber Type Differentiation– Significant increase in muscle fiber size
24
Injuries Related to Children’s Participation in Strength Training Historical Perspective
– Growth plate injuries in adolescent children following strength training (Gumps, Segal, Halligan, & Lower, 1982; Risser, Risser, & Preston, 1990; Ryan & Salciccioli, 1976).
– Recommendation that children avoid formal strength training
Contemporary Perspective– More recent studies have suggested strength training is safe in
properly supervised programs (Ramsay, Blimkie, Smith, Garner, Macdougall, & Sale, 1990; Weltman, Janney, Rians, Strand, Berg, Tippet, Wise, Cahill, & Katch, 1986).
– Serious injuries related to “excessive” overhead lifts & improper supervision
25
Benefits of Strength Training Health-Related Benefits
– Prevention of CVD– Reduction and control of
obesity & hypertension– Improved self-confidence
& self-image– Development of good
posture– Improved body comp– Improved flexibility– Establishment of lifetime
interest in fitness
Skill-Related Benefits– Improved ability to
perform basic motor skills
– Possible prevention of injuries
– Greater ease & efficiency of sport skill performance
– Early development of coordination & balance
– Better performance on nationwide fitness tests
26
Professional Guidelines & Recommendations
Professional position statements on youth strength training (ACSM, 1988; AAP, 1983, 1990; NSCA, 1985, 1996).– Proper supervision & technique instruction are critical– Focus on technique development & affective domain– Emphasize a variety of activities & skill development– Avoid the use of maximal lifts with children & adolescents– Sample training protocol:
• Initial focus on lifting technique• High reps & light weight• 1-3 sets x 6-15 reps• 8-10 different exercises• 2-3 nonconsecutive days per week
27
Flexibility Defined Flexibility
– “The range of motion (ROM) available in a joint or group of joints” (Alter, 1996)
Types of stretching– Static: using the ROM of a joint slowly & steadily in a held
position– Dynamic: moving in a ROM necessary for a sport– Ballistic: quickly and briefly bouncing, rebounding or using
rhythmic motion in a joint’s ROM (mimics sport movements)– PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation): using the
body’s reflexes to relax a muscle before stretching it Laxity
– “The degree of abnormal motion of a given joint” (Alter, 1996)– Also referred to as “double-jointedness”
28
Teaching and Training Guidelines for Flexibility
Teaching– Never make stretching competitive– Emphasize correct technique and personal bests
Training principles– Intensity: How the stretch feels– Time: Length of stretch x number of time each stretch is done– Type: Specific muscles stretched
A static stretch beyond the point of mild discomfort to pain merely increases the likelihood of injury
29
Stretching Controversies(Alter, 1996)
Static– Most appropriate for physical education– Proven effectiveness– Ease of implementation
Ballistic (dynamic, fast, isotonic, kinetic)– Often maligned as dangerous– Develops dynamic flexibility– Generally more interesting– Inadequate time for tissues to adapt to the movement– Increased likelihood of soreness– Inadequate time for neurological adaptation to the movements
30
Factors Limiting Flexibility(Alter, 1996)
Connective tissues in joints/muscles lacking elasticity
Muscle tension
Poor coordination and strength during active movements
Limitations caused by bone & joint structures
Pain
31
Professional Guidelines & Recommendations
Warm-up with whole-body activity first Use slow, controlled movements Hold each stretch 10-15, 15-30, OR 30-60
seconds Encourage individualization Excess body fat does NOT impede flexibility More flexible groups:
– Females– Individuals under 6 and between 12 and young
adulthood
32
Body Composition & Nutrition
Lecture based on the work of Wilmore, J.H. (1999). Exercise, Obesity, and Weight Control. Scottsdale, AZ: Holcomb Hathaway, Publishers.
33
Overweight & Obesity Defined Overweight
– “Body weight that exceeds the normal or standard weight for a particular person, based on his or her height and frame size.”
– Measured with height/weight tables.– Over the 85th percentile
Obesity– “Condition in which the individual has an excessive amount of body fat”
• Males over 25% & women over 35% body fat are obese• Males 20-25% & women 30-35% body fat are considered to have
borderline obesity• Over the 95th percentile
– Variety of laboratory & field assessment techniques used to measure a person’s body composition:
• Hydrostatic weighing• Bioelectrical impedance• Ultrasound• Skinfold
34
Body Composition Values
Females Males
Minimum 17% 10 %
Ideal 18-23 % 16-19 %
Maximum 32 % 25 %

Body Types
Endomorph
a large, soft, bulging and pear-shaped
appearance
•high percentage of body fat •short neck •large abdomen •wide hips •round, full buttocks •short, heavy legs
Mesomorph
a solid, muscular, and large-bonded
physique
•firm, well developed muscles •large bones •broad shoulders•muscular arms & buttocks •trim waist •powerful legs
Ectomorph
a slender body and slight build
•small bones •thin muscles •slender arms & legs •narrow chest•round shoulders •flat abdomen •small buttocks
36
Prevalence of Obesity in the U.S. Dramatically increasing trend in the prevalence of
obesity over the past 30 years in the U.S.
– National Center for Health (1986):• 28.4% of American adults aged 25-74 years are overweight.• Between 13% and 26% of U.S. adolescent population are
obese with an addition 4% to 12% being super-obese, depending on gender and race.
• These figures represent a 39% increase in the prevalence of obesity when compared with data collected in 1966 and 1970.
– Gortmaker, Dietz, Sobol, & Wehler (1987):• Reported 54% increase in prevalence of obesity among
children aged 6 to 11 years.
37
Health Implications of Obesity
Medical Risks– Increased risk for general excess mortality. Possible
causes include heart disease, hypertension, & diabetes.– Upper body obesity (“apple-shaped”) involves increased
risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, elevated blood lipids, and diabetes.
– “Pear-shaped” individuals have excess weight on the hips and thighs (less cardiovascular risk).
Low Physical Fitness Levels
Psychosocial Effects
38
Physiological Considerations The Control of Body Weight
– Balance between caloric intake & expenditure.
Etiology of Obesity– Complex and multi-factored:
• Genetic influences• Hormonal imbalances• Alterations in homeostatic function• Physiological & psychological trauma• Emotional trauma• Environmental factors
– Cultural habits– Inadequate physical activity– Improper diet
39
Weight Reduction and Control
Behavior Modification– Dietary intake– Physical activity
Body Composition Myths– Fad diets– Spot reduction– Low intensity versus high intensity aerobic exercise– Exercise devices for fat reduction
40
Diet and Nutrition Diet:
– Total calories consumed in 5-7 day period
“Good” nutrition– Variety of foods– Provides adequate nutrients– Supplies sufficient energy to maintain ideal body mass
Agencies developing guidelines:– Committee on Dietary Allowances: RDAs– Food and Drug Administration– USDA: Food Guide Pyramid
Adolescent nutritional needs (Saltman, Gurin & Mothner, 1993):– Females: 2,200 cals/day– Males: 3,000 cals/day
41
Consequences of an Unhealthy Diet
Increased calories consumed by eating “low cal” foods
High protein/low carbohydrate diets suppress appetite; can be toxic over time
High carbohydrate diets can compromise energy intake and provide too little protein
Over-consumption of vitamins/minerals only generates expensive urine
Good diet NOR physical activity alone can = fitness
