16. Which of the following is NOT a measure of RELATIVE exercise intensity?
A) Percent of heart rate reserve
B) Percent of VO2 reserve
C) All the choices are measures of relative exercise intensity
D) METS
This information can be found in ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription 10th Edition Direct Textbook.
Correct answer is C
All the options are correct and are used to evaluate intensity of exercise.
Heavy exercise lead to stimulation of muscles. The demand of oxygen and nutrients for muscles increases during exercise. For this reason, the heart rate and oxygen reserve increases to meet the increasing demand of muscle.
Thus increase in heart rate and oxygen reserve indicate that intensity of exercise is More.
METS( metabolic equivalent of task) is the ratio of energy spend during any exercise to the energy spend will sitting(doing no work).
Increase in valve of METS suggest that high energy is being consumed by the body . And this increased consumption is because of high intensity of exercise which increases demand.
