Processing Questions:
1. What do you think is the importance of understanding the RHR and the MHR?
knowing your RHR as well as your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) can help dictate heart rate based training zones.
Spikes in RHR can indicate when overtraining has occurred and an athlete should take a rest day, something else
in a training regiment is amiss, or can even indicate an oncoming cold or illness.
2. Why do you think determining the target heart rate (THR) is important in exercise?
knowing your target heart rate helps you pace your workouts. Exercising at the right level of intensity will help
you avoid burning out or wasting time with a workout that's not vigorous enough to help you meet your goals.
Activity 2: NAME THEM!
Since you made your FITT Training Program last week, it is best for you to connect it with the types of
activities you included in it. There are three types of fitness activities: AEROBIC, RESISTANCE, and
FLEXIBILITY. Research more about these three and fill in the table below with their definition and five
examples of activities under each type.
Running or Jogging
any activities that raise heart rate and make breathing
Aerobic Training somewhat harder
Outdoor Cycling
Walking.
Fill in the next table to summarize your week’s performance on staying fit.
Activity Average Duration Estimated Calories Burned
Sitting
Standing
Walking
Moderate Activities
Vigorous Activities
TOTAL
To solve for Average Duration, add all the time you spent for each activity for six days and divide the result by
6. Example:
Activity Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs
Sitting 5 hrs 7 hrs 9 hrs 8 hrs 9 hrs 7 hrs
That is, ( 5+7+ 9+8+9+ 7 ) ÷ 6 which is equal to 7.5 hours. Convert this to minutes by multiplying it with 60. That
is, 7.5 ×60=450 minutes.
To solve for the Estimates Calories Burned, determine first your current weight in kilograms and use the given
formula. For example, for sitting, we have 0.0175 ×50=0.875. This is the calories I burned every minute by just
sitting. Then, multiply it with your answer in Average Duration to know how much calories you burned for this
week. That is, 450 × 0.875=393.75 .
To solve the TOTAL, just add all your answers for Average Duration and Estimated Calories Burned. This is
your performance for the week. You can compare this with the recommended number of calories to be burned
every day on the Internet. You can continue doing this for the succeeding weeks to monitor your progress.
Above all, if you really want to be fit and healthy, SELF-DISCIPLINE is the key!
2. What changes can you make in your daily schedule to increase daily energy expenditure?
Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen
bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities .
4. What will be your commitment for the succeeding weeks in terms of staying fit and healthy?
5.
I will try to engage in some physical activities but not this week because next is the quarterly exam so I have to
study first.
