Physiological Indicators in Exercise

Physiological indicators provide information about the intensity of physical activity. Heart rate monitors intensity by measuring the percentage of maximum heart rate during exercise. A normal resting heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute, with well-trained athletes having lower rates around 40. Heart rate is counted by finding the pulse and multiplying the beats in 15 or 30 seconds. The rate of perceived exertion is another indicator based on a 0-10 scale of the perceived difficulty level of physical activity.

in Exercise
Physiological indicators in fitness
and exercise
• discusses the heart rate, rate of perceived
exertion and pacing which associated with
MVPAs. The intensity of doing moderate
physical activities and vigorous physical
activities is monitored in all indicators of
physical activities.
Heart rate
•is in indicator wherein the intensity
of the activity is measured by the
percentage of the of the personal
maximal heart rate during
exercise, which shows the
number of beats per minute.
Normal Resting Heart rate
•According to Edward R. Laskowski, M.D., a
normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to
100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower
heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart
function and better cardiovascular fitness.
For example, a well-trained athlete might
have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40
beats per minute.
Steps in getting the heart rate
1. Check your pulse.
2. Place your index and third fingers on
your neck to the side of your windpipe.
3. To check your pulse at your wrist, place
two fingers between the bone and the
tendon over your radial artery — which is
located on the thumb side of your wrist
Steps in getting the heart rate
When you feel your pulse, count the
number of beats in 15 seconds, multiply
this number by four or 30 seconds
multiplied by 2 of full 60 seconds to
calculate your beats per minute (bpm).
Ex. 16 (beats in 15 secs) x 4 = 64 bpm
Or 31 (beats in 30 secs) x 2 = 62 bpm
Factors that can influence heart rate .
1. Age
2. Fitness and activity levels
3. Smoker
4. Cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol or diabetes
5. Air temperature
6. Body position (standing up or lying down, for example)
7. Emotions
8. Body size
9. Medications
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
• Another way of monitoring
one’s intensity is depends on
the physical activities derived
on how you perceived a
certain achievement.
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
• Feeling felt by the person doing the
physical activities is given by a ratio
scale and that the higher the number,
the level of force exerted by the
person doing is, has corresponding
percentage equivalent.
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
• The scale allows individuals to subjectively
rate their level of exertion during exercise or
exercise testing (American College of Sports
Medicine, 2010). Heart Online Borg Scale
