1 What was the purpose of this article? (10pts)
The article’s main purpose is to explore the effectiveness of exercise-based prediction in determining cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). In such a case, it would be possible to assess their capability in classifying individuals. Furthermore, research findings indicate that higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness can result in decreased mortality and morbidity rates (Peterman et al., 2020). Therefore, the article can help assess the accuracy of exercise-based equations in enhancing clinical outcomes among cardiovascular patients.
2 Define the following (5 pts each)
1 Maximum Oxygen Consumption
The term entails the maximum amount of oxygen that a person can use during either maximal or intense exercise. Therefore, the measurement criterion is an ideal indicator of aerobic endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
2 Fitness Algorithm
A fitness algorithm is a function that entails taking a solution of a medical issue as input in determining the effectiveness of a solution based on the underlying issue. In such a case, the involved professionals have to consider the value of the calculation of fitness.
3 Which tests were assessed?
Non-exercise prediction equations, statistical analyses, and direct assessment of CRF are the key tests that the article’s author assessed in determining the effectiveness of exercise-based equations.
4 Which tests were use as direct measurements of CRF?
A standardized protocol based on cardiopulmonary exercise was one of the key tests to assess CRF as maximum oxygen consumption. In addition, the self-reported physical activity level is a key determinant of treadmill protocol to ensure that participants attain max...
