Designing evidence-based aerobic training units in PE with baseline and progression assessment.
Inputs
- · Age, resting heart rate, baseline VO2max test result (Cooper 12-min run or lab)
Outputs
- · VO2max classification, target heart rate zones, FITT prescription (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)
Preconditions
Age known; can perform Cooper test safely or have lab VO2max
Failure modes
VO2max formula inaccurate for elite or severely deconditioned athletes; age-predicted HRmax oversimplified
Trust signals
- · Cites Kenneth Cooper 1968 foundational research
- · Includes age-adjusted Cooper classification tables
- · Karvonen formula refines HRmax with resting HR
