Which set lists the four key parts used to describe CRE in a PDP session?

• A. Warm-up, Cool-down, Distance, Pace
• B. Intense, Volume, Sleep, Recovery
• C. Pacing, Time, % of heart rate, Progression
• D. Speed, Endurance, Agility, Recovery

Answer: (C)

The core idea is that describing cardiorespiratory endurance work in a PDP session uses four concrete measures of the workout’s demand: how hard you push (pacing), how long you work (time), how intense that effort is relative to your heart rate (percentage of maximum heart rate), and how the workload grows over time (progression). Pacing sets the effort level or speed of the work, guiding how challenging the session feels. Time specifies the duration of the activity, giving a clear stimulus length. The percentage of heart rate translates effort into a precise, measurable intensity zone, helping ensure the session targets the right level of stress on the heart and lungs. Progression describes how the session changes across workouts—progressing duration, intensity, or both—to elicit continued adaptation. The other options mix structural or peripheral aspects (like warm-up or cool-down), or refer to components of fitness rather than the specific descriptors used to quantify CRE in a PDP session.
