Exercise, Heart Rate Zones, Energy Systems, and Nutrition
Description: This webinar will provide an evidence-based overview of exercise prescriptions for health and performance, emphasizing how heart rate zones correspond to energy system utilization (aerobic vs. anaerobic metabolism, fat vs. carbohydrate oxidation). Participants will examine strategies to apply heart rate goals in training, explore the relationship between heart rate variability and recovery, and evaluate nutrition implications for supporting energy demands across different exercise intensities.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Differentiate between heart rate zones and identify the predominant energy systems and fuel sources (fat, carbohydrate) engaged at each level.
Analyze the physiological and lifestyle factors that influence heart rate variability and exercise adaptation.
Evaluate nutrition strategies that align with energy utilization in different heart rate zones to optimize performance and health outcomes.
