Assignment: Cardiorespiratory Endurance Plan

Purpose

This assignment will help you complete your cardiorespiratory endurance plan.

Directions

  • Read how to calculate heart rate zone and practice the calculations
  • Open this template: CR Endurance Plan
  • Complete all the sections in the template. Do not submit the assignment in an essay format.
    • For section 1, make sure your SMART goals are related to cardiorespiratory endurance. In other words, what was your score on the walk or run test? And what do you want it to be the next time you measure it? Goals for the other assessments (ex. flexibility, BMI) do not belong here and should not be included here. Note: drinking water and other nutrition goals do not belong here either; this is strictly a CR endurance plan.
    • On section 3, item 2 (intensity), you must show every step in the calculations, starting with your predicted HRMax calculation.
  • Save your document and submit it to the course.
