1.  Take your blood pressure and the blood pressure of someone else. List  both the systole and diastole. Define systole, diastole, and list the  ranges of excellent, good, fair, and poor. Do you see any correlations  between blood pressure and lifestyle, stress level, or activity level?  How will you incorporate knowledge of blood pressure into your future  training endeavors?

2.  Have a graded exercise test (GXT) performed on you by a qualified  physician. Describe the experience. What were the results? Are you  surprised by the results, or are they as expected? How does this  learning experience influence your future training endeavors?

3.  Use the Karvonen method and the general method (220-age) to determine  the target heart rate for yourself and four individuals. What are the  differences between the two. What method do you think is more  appropriate and why? Once you determine target heart rate for yourself,  perform any exercise until you reach your target heart rate. (Only  attempt this experience if you are in good health and have a solid grasp  on how to achieve your target heart rate. Be sure to warm up and cool  down.) What exercise did you do? How did you monitor your heart rate?  How long did it take to get into your target heart rate? How long did  you remain in the target range? How will you use target heart rate in  your future training endeavors?

4.  Meet with three individuals who have been regularly working out for  over a year.

• Debate This: Franchises

Carlos Del Rey decided to open a fast-food Mexican restaurant and signed a franchise contract with a national chain called La Grande Enchilada. Under the franchise agreement, Del Rey purchased the building, and La Grande Enchilada supplied the equipment. The contract required the franchisee to strictly follow the franchisor’s operating manual and stated that failure to do so would be grounds for terminating the franchise contract. The manual set forth detailed operating procedures and safety standards, and provided that a La Grande Enchilada representative would inspect the restaurant monthly to ensure compliance.

Nine months after Del Rey began operating his restaurant, a spark from the grill ignited an oily towel in the kitchen. No one was injured, but by the time firefighters put out the fire, the kitchen had sustained extensive damage. The cook told the fire department that the towel was “about two feet from the grill” when it caught fire, which was in compliance with the franchisor’s manual that required towels to be at least one foot from the grills. Nevertheless, the next day La Grande Enchilada notified Del Rey that his franchise would terminate in thirty days for failure to follow the prescribed safety procedures. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.

1. What type of franchise was Del Rey’s La Grande Enchilada restaurant?
2. If Del Rey operates the restaurant as a sole proprietorship, who bears the loss for the damaged kitchen? Explain.
3. Assume that Del Rey files a lawsuit against La Grande Enchilada, claiming that his franchise was wrongfully terminated. What is the main factor a court would consider in determining whether the franchise was wrongfully terminated?
4. Would a court be likely to rule that La Grande Enchilada had good cause to terminate Del Rey’s franchise in this situation? Why or why not?

Debate This:
All franchisors should be required by law to provide a comprehensive estimate of the profitability of a prospective franchise based on the experiences of their existing franchisees
