A 50-yr-old man who weighs 193 lb and has a resting heart rate of 70 beats · min–1 wants you to help him calculate his target heart rate zone for 60% to 80% VO2R. Use the Karvonen (heart rate range) method to do so.
- A.
70 to 90
- B.
90 to 110
- C.
100 to 130
- D.
130 to 150
Correct Answer
D. 130 to 150Explanation
The Karvonen method is used to calculate target heart rate zones based on an individual's resting heart rate and desired intensity level. To calculate the target heart rate zone, we need to determine the heart rate reserve (HRR) by subtracting the resting heart rate from the maximum heart rate. The maximum heart rate can be estimated using the formula 220 - age. In this case, the maximum heart rate would be 170 (220 - 50). To calculate the target heart rate range, we multiply the HRR by the desired intensity level (60% to 80%) and add the resting heart rate. Therefore, the target heart rate range for 60% to 80% VO2R would be 130 to 150 beats per minute.Rate this question:

Following training, the heart rate response to the same work rate will be lower due to reduced cardiac output.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because following training, the heart rate response to the same work rate will actually be lower due to increased cardiac output. Through regular exercise and training, the heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood, resulting in a lower heart rate for the same level of exertion. This is known as cardiovascular adaptation and is a positive outcome of regular physical activity.Rate this question:

A 30-yr-old woman with a maximal heart rate of 180 beats · min–1 and a resting heart rate of 60 beats · min–1 needs help calculating a target heart rate range using the percent of maximal HR method. What is her THR zone equal to at 55% to 75% VO2max or 70-80% of HR max?
- A.
75 to 100
- B.
100 to 125
- C.
126 to 144
- D.
150 to 175
Correct Answer
C. 126 to 144Explanation
The target heart rate (THR) zone for this woman, calculated using the percent of maximal HR method, is equal to 55% to 75% of her maximal heart rate (HR max). Her HR max is given as 180 beats per minute. To find the lower and upper limits of her THR zone, we multiply her HR max by 0.55 and 0.75 respectively. This gives us 99 beats per minute and 135 beats per minute. Therefore, her THR zone is 126 to 144 beats per minute.Rate this question:

- A.
Decrease
- B.
No change
- C.
Increase
Correct Answer
A. DecreaseExplanation
Regular, vigorous physical activity for 20 weeks at ACSM-recommended levels in sedentary individuals is expected to have a positive impact on cardiovascular fitness. As the body becomes more conditioned, the heart becomes stronger and more efficient at pumping blood, resulting in a decrease in resting heart rate and heart rate during physical activity. This is because a conditioned heart can pump more blood with each beat, reducing the need for the heart to beat as frequently. Therefore, the correct answer is decrease.Rate this question:
