What is the approximate target heart rate for a 50-year-old man in beats per minute (bpm)?
Correct Answer: C
To calculate an individual,s target heart rate, first one needs to estimate the person,s maximal heart rate. This is estimated by subtracting a person,s age from 220. In this example, the person,s maximal heart rate is 220 - 50 = 170. Using this number, the target heart rate can be calculated. The recommended target heart rate is between 50% and 85% of the maximal heart rate. This would be 170X0.50 = 85, and 170X0.85 = 145. So, the individual,s target heart rate is estimated to be between about 85 and 145 bpm.

Question 9
Benefits of nonlinear periodized training programs include all of the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
While a linear periodized training program involves having a progressive increase in the workout intensity over the course of a week a nonlinear periodized training program involves variation of intensity over the course of a week A weeklong nonlinear periodized training program can target both muscle strength and power. A "power" training day involving power sets can also be implemented. This type of program may be more conducive to individuals with scheduling conflicts.
