Training thresholds

• What is one of the most effective ways to measure exercise intensity?

  Calculating minimum and maximum thresholds of training to work within the target training zone
• What is the aerobic training zone's percentage of maximum heart rate (MHR)?

  60-80% of MHR
• What does MHR stand for?

  Maximum heart rate
• What does training in the anaerobic training zone allow a performer to develop?

  The ability to work anaerobically
• What is the percentage range for the anaerobic training zone?

  80-90% of MHR
• What are the steps to calculate training thresholds for aerobic and anaerobic training zones?

  1. Calculate maximum heart rate (HR): \( \text{MHR} = 220 - \text{age} \)
  2. Calculate aerobic training zone: 60-80% of MHR
  3. Calculate anaerobic training zone: 80-90% of MHR
• What is the formula to calculate maximum heart rate?

  \( \text{MHR} = 220 - \text{age} \)
• What is the significance of training thresholds in exercise?

  They define the upper and lower boundaries of the aerobic and anaerobic training zones
• What are the key terms related to training thresholds?

  • Training thresholds: upper and lower boundaries of training zones
  • Aerobic training zone: allows development of aerobic capacity
  • Anaerobic training zone: allows development of anaerobic capacity
• How does the aerobic training zone differ from the anaerobic training zone in terms of training benefits?

  Aerobic training develops aerobic capacity, while anaerobic training develops anaerobic capacity
• What happens during high-intensity interval training in relation to heart rate zones?

  Work occurs in the anaerobic training zone and active recovery occurs in the aerobic training zone
• What is the resting heart rate?


  The heart rate when a person is at rest
• What is the purpose of calculating training thresholds?

  To ensure that individuals train effectively within their target heart rate zones
