2. 1) WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MINIMIZE THE RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE?
-MANAGE THE RISK FACTORS.
2) DURING RESTING CONDITIONS, WHAT % OF ENERGY IS DERIVED FROM
FAT?
-70%
3) DURING RESTING CONDITIONS, WHAT % OF ENERGY IS DERIVED FROM
CARBS?
-30%
4) ABOUT HOW MANY CALORIES DO WE BURN PER MINUTE WHEN WE ARE
AT REST?
-1.5
5) MOST 16-OUNCE ENERGY DRINKS CONTAIN HOW MANY CALORIES?
-240

3. 6) CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE
-”THE ABILITY OF THE LUNGS, HEART, & BLOOD VESSELS TO DELIVER
ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF OXYGEN TO THE CELLS TO MEET DEMANDS
OF PROLONGED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.”
-THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF HEALTH-RELATED
PHYSICAL FITNESS

4. 7) HYPOKINETIC DISEASES
”CHRONIC CONDITIONS RELATED TO A LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.”
-HYPERTENSION, HEART DISEASE, CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN, &
OBESITY
-CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY
-MINIMIZES THE AMOUNT OF MOVEMENT & EFFORT REQUIRED OF THE
HUMAN BODY

5. 8) AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
-AEROBIC: EXERCISE THAT REQUIRES OXYGEN TO PRODUCE THE
NECESSARY ENERGY TO CARRY OUT THE ACTIVITY
-ANAEROBIC: EXERCISE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE OXYGEN TO
PRODUCE THE NECESSARY ENERGY TO CARRY OUT THE ACTIVITY

6. AEROBIC RESPIRATION
-YOU BREATHE OXYGEN IN & YOUR BODY EFFICIENCTLY USES ALL THE
O2 IT NEEDS TO POWER THE MUSCLES TO PERFORM A TASK
(JOGGING)
-WASTE PRODUCTS OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION: CARBON DIOXIDE &
WATER
-EXPELLED FROM THE BODY BY BREATHING

7. AEROBIC EXERCISE
-CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE ACTIVITIES OFTEN
ARE CALLED AEROBIC EXERCISES
-ONLY AEROBIC ACTIVITIES WILL INCREASE
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE
-EXAMPLES: WALKING, JOGGING, CYCLING, ETC.
