What is the measurement of CRF used for? • Exercise prescription and programming • Progress in, and motivation of, an individual in an exercise program – provides feedback and motivation to keep a client interested in exercise • Prediction of medical conditions such as coronary artery disease (further identity or diagnose health problems)

How is the true measurement of CRF completed? • Involves maximal exertion as a

How is the true measurement of CRF completed? • Involves maximal exertion as a result of graded exercise testing along with the collection of expired gasses during the exercise test.

Why is the true measurement of CRF not always done? • Measurement of expired

Why is the true measurement of CRF not always done? • Measurement of expired gases is not always feasible • Procedure is likely beyond the scope of practice for many personal trainers

Field Tests • A field test generally requires the client to perform a task

Field Tests • A field test generally requires the client to perform a task in a non-laboratory or field setting, such as running 1. 5 miles at near maximal exertion. • Field tests are relatively easy and inexpensive to administer and thus are ideal for testing large groups of clients.

Field Tests • Field tests, are considered to be submaximal, and may be inappropriate

Field Tests • Field tests, are considered to be submaximal, and may be inappropriate for safety reasons for sedentary individuals at moderate to high risk for cardiovascular or musculoskeletal complications.

What are the requirements for the 1 mile walk test? • Keep exercise heart

What are the requirements for the 1 mile walk test? • Keep exercise heart rate above 120 bpm. • Have clients walk 1 mile as fast as possible without running

1 Mile Walk Test Guidelines • Immediately at the end of the 1 -mile

1 Mile Walk Test Guidelines • Immediately at the end of the 1 -mile walk, the personal trainer counts the recovery heart rate for 15 seconds and multiplies by 4 to determine a 1 minute recovery. • It has been shown that using a heart rate monitor may give the client more accurate results than manual palpation of heart rate.
