The document discusses heart rate and how it is affected by fitness and training. It defines heart rate as the number of heartbeats per minute and explains that a trained athlete will have a lower resting heart rate than an unfit person. It provides the formula to calculate maximum heart rate and describes some stations for a fitness circuit to raise heart rate, including skipping and shuttle runs. The document also explains how the body's repair processes after exercise cause an elevated heart rate and the importance of monitoring heart rate during and after exercise. Finally, it outlines a learning task where students will research heart rate, warm-ups and cool-downs, design a circuit, and factors affecting the heart.
2. HEART RATE / PULSE
RATE
Is the number of times the heart beats per minute
Heart rate is caused by the actual impact of the blood
on the arteries as the heart contract
In a trained athlete it is likely to be less than in an unfit
person
Heart rate is used to indicate a person’s fitness level
3. MAXIMUM PULSE RATE
Is not effected by training
220 – age = maximum pulse rate
This is the same for men and women, for example, for a male or
female aged 20, the maximum pulse rate is:
220 -20 = 200 beats per minute
(b.p.m.)
5. Raise the heart rate.
Increase blood flow and the amount of Oxygen that
gets to the working muscles.
Get the muscles warmer, making them more stretchy.
Make the athlete more mentally aware – Warm up
their brain.
6. Station 1 - Skipping
Skip as fast as you can for 1
minute.
Use your partner to count how
many times you jump over the
rope.
7. Station 2 – Shuttle Runs
Run between two cones for 1 minute.
There and back = one run.
Use your partner to count how many runs you make.
8. HOW TRAINING AND FITNESS
AFFECT THE HEART
Every after training, several things happen in your
body. Fuel sources are depleted, temperature increases
, and muscles are damaged. The body has to work
harder and this increased work results in higher heart
rate.
Even though you might feel okay at rest, your heart
body is working harder to repair itself, and you will
notice an elevated heart rate.
Monitoring your resting heart rate and your exercise
heart rate will allow you to make appropriate
adjustment such as eating more or taking a day off
when your rate is elevated.
9. Learning Task
They will group them selves into groups of 5 and the
task will take 2 weeks to be completed they will be
doing a reflection of their presentation. They will
research about the following :
What is the heart rate and its importance?
Why do we do warm ups and cool downs? and give 3
warm up activities and 3 cool downs activities.
Construct a circuit of 5 stations of increasing a heart
rate.
Five fitness factors affecting heart and five solutions.€
