MODULE 5: Part 2, Unit 4

Monitoring Exercise Intensity

ABOUT PATHFIT 2
PathFit 2 builds on the foundation of motor skills
achieved through core training. It will provide
experiences in a variety of exercise programs for
the purpose of maintaining and enhancing
cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness (I.e.,
core stability, muscle strength, endurance and
power). It includes speed and agility training with a
focus on body coordination and balance. In
conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts,
exercise and healthy eating principles, learners will
be able to enhance their fitness through goal
setting and application of the exercise principles
(I.e., frequency, intensity, time, type, progression,
and volume); adapt their movement
competencies to independent physical activity
(PA) pursuits and periodically evaluate their PA
and eating patterns to monitor their progress and
achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.
Unit 4: MONITORING EXERCISE INTENSITY
Overview:

In this chapter, Cardiorespiratory and Musculoskeletal system will be


discussed to better understand how to monitor one’s exercise intensity. One’s level of
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility will be
assessed, and the results of which are interpreted in order to monitor progress and
prescribe modifications to the program.

Objectives:

At the end of this unit, you are expected to:


1. Assess your cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and
endurance, and flexibility;
2. Interpret the assessment results according to health and fitness standards;
and
3. Evaluate improvements in fitness achieved through exercise programs and

4.1. Cardiorespiratory System


The cardiovascular system keeps the blood circulating when tissue cells take
in nutrients from and excrete metabolic by-products such as lactic acid and carbon
dioxide to their immediate environment . This ensures a continuous supply of oxygen
and nutrients and prevents pollution from the build-up of wastes.Using blood as the
transport medium, the heart pumps the oxygen, nutrients, metabolic by-products, and
other substances into the vessels that move to and from the cells.
Heart
The heart has four chambers: two superior atria and two inferior
ventricles. The right side of the heart is the pulmonary circuit pump.
Deoxygenetaed blood returning from the body enters the right atrium and
passes into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary
trunk. In the lungs, the blood unloads CO2 and picks up O2. The freshly
oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins back to the left side of the
heart.
The left side of the heart is the systemic circuit pump. Freshly
oxygenated blood leaving the lungs is returned to the left atrium and passes
into the left ventricle, which pumps it into the aorta. Considering the heart’s
two sides, we may observe that our circulatory system is a double circulatory
system.
Although equal volumes of blood are flowing into the pulmonary and
systemic circuits at any moment, the right ventricles have unequal workloads.
The pulmonary circuit, served by the right ventricle, is a short, low-pressure
circulation, whereas the systemic circuit, associated with the left ventricle,
takes a long pathway through the entire body and encounters great
resistance to blood flow. Consequently, the left ventricle can generate much
more pressure than the right and is a more powerful pump.
The heart undergoes some fairly dramatic movements as it alternately
contracts, forcing blood out of its chambers, and then relaxes, allowing its
chambers to refill with blood. The terms systole and diastole refer respectively,
to these contraction and relaxation periods of heart activity.

vessels.
The alternating expansion and recoil of elastic arteries during each
cardiac cycle creates a pressure wave which is felt as the pulse. By
compressing an artery against the firm tissue, the heart rate can be counted.
The radial pulse (at the wrist) and the carotid pulse (at the side of the neck)
are routinely used because of their accessibility. (see Figure 2 below)

Figure 2
Radial and Carotid Pulse

Lungs
The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system.
Deoxygenated blood that is pumped by the heart to the lungs unloads its
carbon dioxide. This is expelled from the body through expiration or
exhalation (breathing out). Through inspiration or inhalation, the body
breathes in air that contains oxygen which diffuses into the blood. This
oxygenated blood returns to the heart, which now pumps it to the rest of the
body. When the oxygenated blood reaches the cells, gas exchange takes
place - cells give off their waste products, and take in oxygen from the blood.
This process is known as internal respiration. Deoxygenated blood now
returns to the heart and the entire process is repeated.

Cardiac Output, Stroke Volume, and Heart Rate


Cardiac output refers to the heart’s ability to pump out blood every
minute. When the heart contracts, it pumps blood out of its chambers. This
amount of blood pumped out with each contraction is referred to as stroke
volume. The frequency at which the heart beats or contracts is called our
heart rate. Cardiac output is, therefore, the product of stroke volume and
heart rate.
At rest, only 15-20% of the cardiac output goes to the muscles. During
the intense exercises, the muscle receives 80-85% of the cardiac output. This
shift in blood flow to the muscles is accomplished primarily by a decrease in
blood flow to the kidneys, liver, stomach, and intestines. When the body
temperature increases as the direct result of exercise and/or high
environmental temperatures, an increasing amount of blood is redirected to
the skin to dissipate heat. This increase in skin blood flow reduces the
amount of blood available to supply the muscles and explains why most
physical activities performed in hot conditions are well below average.
Hydration, is therefore, key to maintaining one’s participation and ensuring
safety under such conditions.

4.2. Assessing Cardiorespiratory Endurance


The best quantitative measure of cardiorespiratory endurance is VO₂ max, or
the maximum amount of oxygen your body can transport and utilize during maximum
exercise.

How do we assess Cardiorespiratory Endurance?

A. Step Test
The Queens College step test is also known as the McArdle Step Test.
It requires you to step up and down to a step which has the height of 16.25
inches (41.25 cm) high for three minutes. One complete cycle consists of
step up with one leg, step up with the other leg, step down with the first leg,
and step down with the last leg (up-up-down-down). The four-step cadence is
at a rate of 24 per minute for men, and 22 per minute for women. Set the
metronome beat at 96 beats per minute for men, and 88 beats per minute for
women. After three minutes, stop and palpate your pulse while standing
within the first six seconds. Multiply by 10 to determine your recovery heart
rate. Determine your VO₂ max using the following formula.

B. Fixed Distance Test


1. The Rockport 1-mile walk test is recommended for those who are unable
to run because of low fitness (e.g. deconditioned, obese, elderly). It
requires you to walk briskly for 1 mile or 4 laps around a standard 400
meters track oval. You need to determine your body weight in pounds first
before the test.
After completing four laps, immediately:
(a) Record your completion time, and
(b) Count your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply it by 4 to obtain your
recovery heart rate in beats per minute.
Convert your walking time such that the seconds is divided into 60
(because there are 60 seconds in one minute). For example, if you
completed the test in 12 minutes and 15 seconds, your walking time is
12 + 15/60 = 12.25 minutes.

Determine your VO2max* using the following formula:

VO₂ max= 88.768 - (0.0957 x weight ) + (8.892 x sex ) - (1.4537 x


time ) - (0.1194 x HR recovery)

Where: weight is in pounds; sex is 0 for women, and 1 for men; time
is walking time in minutes and HR recovery is 15 second pulse count
x 4.

2. The 1.5 mile run test is for individuals who are able to jog continuously for
15 minutes. It requires completing 1.5 mile distance or 6 laps around
standard track oval. Record the walking time (divide the seconds into 60)
to complete the test and determine the VO2max using the formula:

VO₂ max= 3.5 + (483/time)

C. Fixed Time Test


The 12 - minute walk /run test (also known as the Cooper test)
requires you to cover the maximum distance in 12 minutes by walking,
running, or combination of both. At the end of 12 minutes, record the distance
covered in meters and determine VO2max using the formula:

VO₂ max= (distance in meters - 504.9 ) / 44.73


After obtaining your VO₂ max you can determine your current fitness level
based on the table:

Table 1:

solution in the box.

4.3. Assessing Exercise Intensity


The most individualized and critical criterion for determining an exercise prescription
is the exercise intensity. It reflects the level of difficulty of an exercise or how much
effort one exerts during exercise. You can monitor the intensity through the heart rate,
rating of perceived exertion, talk test, metabolic equivalent (MET) and caloric
expenditure.
Heart Rate
When performing low-to-moderate exercise, there is a linear
relationship between heart rate and oxygen consumption. This means that an
increase in heart rate is accompanied by an increase in oxygen consumption.
Conversely, if heart rate decreases, so does the oxygen consumption. To
monitor your heart rate response, locate and measure your pulse. Next,
calculate your training zone, which represents your target heart rate during
exercise.

Try to answer this:


What do you think will happen if the exercise intensity goes beyond the
moderate range?

What will be the result if there’s a reduction in blood flow to the body?

Rating of Perceived Exertion


RPE, sometimes called the Borg Scale (Borg, 1982), was design by
Dr. Gunner Borg in order to indicate one’s level of perceived physical effort. It
avoids the need to stop and count heart rate during exercise. The original
scale was based on numerical (6-20) and descriptive associations (light to
hard) of fatigue or exertion. “There tends to be a relatively good relationship
between the RPE number/scale and exercise heart rate. If you multiply the
number from the scale by 10, you will find it relates well with your current
exercise heart rate” (Kotecki, 2011, p.67). Moderate intensity is associated
with an RPE rating of 12 (somewhat hard) to 16 (very hard) and is
recommended to improve cardiorespiratory fitness (ACSM, 2010).

Table 2: RPE (BORG) SCALE


Rating Description Rating Description

7 14 Hard
8 Very light 15
9 16 Very hard
10 17
Fairly light
11 18
Very, very hard
12 Somewhat hard 19-20

Try to answer this:


How will you rate the intensity of the step test after performance? How does
this compare to your RPE in the 1.5 mile run? What can you say about your
current fitness level in light of these ratings?

Caloric Expenditure
Calories are used to measure the cost of energy expenditure of
physical activities. The more work we do, the more energy we expend and
that more calories we use.
(BMR and TDEE formula and computation)

4.4 Muscular System


The word muscle was coined from the Latin word ‘mus’ which means ‘mouse’
because flexing the muscle looks like a mouse scurrying beneath the skin.
Muscles are classified into cardiac, skeletal (striated, or striped in appearance and
voluntary), and smooth (non-striated and involuntary). They all possess the following:
1. Excitability – respond to stimulus;
2. Contractility – generate force to produce movement;
3. Extensibility – to stretch beyond resting length; and
4. Elasticity – to resume original length after being stretch.

Skeletal Muscle Structure


The structure of skeletal muscle forms the basis for understanding
how it contracts. A skeletal muscle is composed of individual fibers bond
together by a sheath of connective tissues. These individual fibers appear
elongated and are called myofibrils. Myofibrils are the basic unit of a muscle.
Strength training increases the size (hypertrophy) of the myofibrils. Myofibrils
are called a fascicle.
The contractile unit within the myofibrils contains myofilaments named actin
(thin one) and myosin (thick one). The myosin filaments have tiny projection
(called cross bridges) on each end that extend toward the actin filaments. A
myofibril consists of two protein filaments, the actin (thin) and myosin (thick
with cross bridges). When powered by ATP, these filaments slide over each
other and overlap to a certain degree, thereby producing significant force.
When this happens, we describe it as muscle contraction.

more quickly. in a controlled manner, has been traditionally used to measure
dynamic strength. An example of this includes the one-repetition or 1-
RM of bench press test and 1-RM leg press test. 1-RM testing is
determined through trial-and-error, which means, it involves several
maximal or near-maximal attempts at lifting a certain weight or
resistance. Finally, a true 1-RM might be difficult to establish because
of fatigue.
Since, you are not used to bench or leg press, typically, push-
ups and curl-ups are exercises used to assess the muscular strength
and endurance of the students, while sit-and-reach for the flexibility.
The result of these assessments are useful in developing your
musculoskeletal fitness which provides significant benefits that include
developing proper posture, reducing risk of injury, enhancing body
composition, and improving your performance of motor skills.

The following tables are used to interpret the test score for push-up,
curl-up, and sit-and-reach.
