This course focuses on the interrelationship of the respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic systems at rest and during physical activity related to health, fitness and performance. Theory knowledge will be applied in hands on lab work including, maximal and submaximal assessment of the pulmonary, cardiovascular and metabolic systems and the development of individualized cardiorespiratory programs designed to facilitate specific physiological adaptation. Assessments and programming tools will be utilized in the different cardiorespiratory training phases to progress clients from sedentary to performance level. Prerequisites: HFIT105M with a grade of “C” or better; HFIT109M.
