NASM One Presents: Effective Programming: Cardio Considerations

We understand the many benefits of cardio, but with so many different modalities, which is best? We recognize there are limitations with the percentage of maximal heart rate (%MHR) method for determining training intensity, but is there a better method? How important is heart rate recovery (HRR), and should I consider heart rate variability (HRV)? You have questions, we have answers. Join the NASM One webinar to learn and discuss these topics and others, including a conversation on NASM’s updated metabolism-based zone-training, cardio model. 

Learning Objective

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to: 

1.    Explain the benefits and limitations of moderate intensity, continuous training (MICT or steady-state) versus higher intensity, interval training cardio modalities.
2.    Identify key issues with using mathematically derived heart rate methodology and zones.
3.    Explain the value of HRR and HRV to cardiorespiratory fitness, health, and longevity. 
4.    Apply the concepts of Ventilatory Threshold One (VT1) and Ventilatory Threshold Two (VT2).
5.   Utilize the key principles of NASM’s 2-zone model around VT1 for health and fitness.
