Document Summary
Why is it beneficial to assess our aerobic fitness: establish a reference point, design an exercise program, determine the effectiveness of the program and be motivated by the results you can see. Explain: no- it"s for everyone to see their progress. What is the difference between direct and indirect assessment: direct- physically measure the oxygen you take in and the amount that goes out. This difference is how much oxygen you have burned (more burned=greater work rate: indirect- measure your work rate and guesstimate how much oxygen is required to do that work. With regard to field tests, they can be performed in one of two exertion manners. Need work rate data and exercising heart rate (often age and gender too) Why: genetics (importance of muscle fiber type) What are the main reasons why males have higher aerobic capacities than do females: pound for pound they have a higher blood volume, muscle mass, heart size and hemoglobin concentration.
