Full Appraisal

An appraisal conducted with comprehensive evaluation, representing a complete or 'all or nothing' approach.

Partial Appraisal with Regrets

An appraisal approach where only part of the assessment is conducted, accompanied by feelings of regret about the incomplete evaluation.

Partial Appraisal by Choice

A selective appraisal approach where individuals opt to assess only specific aspects.

Decrease in VO2Max

A noted decline in maximal oxygen uptake, about 10% per decade, from ages 20 to 69 for both genders.

Absolute vs Relative VO2

Absolute VO2 refers to the total volume of oxygen consumed, while relative VO2 accounts for body weight.

APM-HR

Predicted heart rate maximum equation: 220 - age.

Tanaka Equation

A formula to predict maximum heart rate: HRmax = 208 - (0.7 X age).

InBar Equation

Another predicted maximum heart rate formula: HRmax = 205.8 - (0.685 X age).

Londerdee & Moeschberger Equation

Predicts maximum heart rate with: HRmax = 206.3 - (0.711 X age).

Whyte et al. Equation

Differentiates predicted HRmax for men: 202 - (0.55 X age) and for women: 216 - (1.09 X age).

Monitoring Clients During Exercise

Key measures include heart rate (HR), observations, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), and sometimes blood pressure (BP) response.

mCAFT Stepping Cadence

Refers to the cadence intensity levels used during the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT).

Significance of Final Heart Rate

Indicates the heart's response and efficiency during an exercise session.

Significance of O2 Cost

Refers to the oxygen expenditure related to physical activity and its relationship with performance.

Significance of Weight Loss & Aerobic Fitness

Highlights the impact of weight loss on improving aerobic fitness levels.

Aerobic Sub-maximal Testing Assumptions

linear relationship between VO2 and HR, the estimation of maximum HR based on age, and the constant mechanical efficiency for testing protocols.

Pros of Bike Protocol

easier to take BP and conduct ECG, easier to obtain palpatation HR, less chance of injury

CON of bike protocol

Requires major leg power, seat may be uncomfortable, biking is not as natural like walking or running

YCMA Test End Criteria

The test concludes when the participant's heart rate is within 10 bpm of their estimated 85% HRmax.
