AB  - ObjectivesBy  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to  do  the  following:Contrast  exercise  with  physical  activity;  explain  how  both  relate  to  a  lower  risk  of  CHD  and  improvement  in  cardiorespiratory  fitness  (CRF).Describe  the  current  public  health  physical  activity  recommendation  from  the  U.S.  Physical  Activity  Guidelines  to  improve  the  health  status  of  sedentary  U.S.  adults.Explain  what  screening  and  progression  mean  for  a  person  wanting  to  initiate  an  exercise  program.Identify  low-,  moderate-,  and  vigorous-intensity  activities,  and  describe  the  volume  of  physical  activity  (by  time,  MET-min,  and  if  appropriate,  steps)  needed  to  achieve  these  thresholds.Identify  the  optimal  range  of  frequency,  intensity,  time  (duration),  and  type  (FITT)  of  activity  associated  with  improvements  in  CRF.Calculate  a  target  heart  rate  range  by  either  the  heart  rate  reserve  or  percent  of  maximal  HR  method.Discuss  guidelines  related  to  progression  that  facilitate  the  transition  from  easy  to  more  demanding  exercise  programs.Explain  how  the  target  heart  rate  (THR)  helps  adjust  exercise  intensity  in  times  of  high  heat,  humidity,  or  while  at  altitude.Describe  the  health  benefits  of  resistance  training  and  summarize  recommended  resistance-training  and  stretching  programs  for  adults.
