A & B: Initial Interview & Medical history/health appraisal Flashcards
What is a PAR-Q?
Questionnaire that requires self-recall of observations and signs and symptoms by client, in addition to confirmation of diagnosis by a physician
What are some advantages to the PAR-Q?
Cost-effective
Easy to administer
Sensitate (identifies people who need additional medical screening, while not excluding those who would benefit from participation in low-intensity activity
What is a limitation to the PAR-Q
Designed primarily to determine the safety of exercise and not necessarily the risk of coronary disease
What is a health/medical questionnaire?
Tool for assessing the appropriateness of moderate and vigorous levels of exercise.
It can identify positive coronary risk factors associated with coronary artery disease, sudden cardiac death risk factors, existing diagnosed pathologies, orthopedic concerns, recent operations, personal history of suggested sign and symptoms, medications, supplements, and lifestyle management
What are key areas to evaluate coronary risk factors, disease, and lifestyle?
Positive risk factors associated with CAD (coronary artery disease)
Medical conditions & diagnosed disease
Current lifestyle
How many CAD risk factors are there?
What are they?
7 risk factors: Family history Smoking Hypertension Dislipidemia Impaired fasting glucose levels Obesity Sedentary lifestyle
What is the threshold for Age as a CAD risk factor?
Men ≥ 45 y.o
Women ≥ 55 y.o
What is the threshold for family history as a CAD risk factor?
Sudden death before 55 y.o. in biological father or other male first-degree relative (immediate family)
Before 65 y.o. in biological mother or other female first-degree relative
What is the threshold for cigarette smoking as a CAD risk factor?
Current smoker or quit less than 6 months prior
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
What is the threshold for obesity as a CAD risk factor?
BMI ≥ 30kg/m2
Waist girth of >102 cm for men
>88 cm waist girth for women
Men are more likely to develop CAD than women (True or false)
True
What is the threshold for hypertension as a CAD risk factor?
Systolic ≥140 mmHg
Diastolic ≥90 mmHg
Stage 1: 130-139/ 80-89
Stage 2: ≥140 / ≥90
What is the threshold for sedentary lifestyle as a CAD risk factor?
< 30 min of moderate activity (40-60% VO2) < 3x/w less than 3 months
What is the threshold for dislipidemia as a CAD risk factor?
LDL-C > 130 mg/dl (more predictive than total cholesterol)
HDL-C <35 mg/dl
On lipid medications
Total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dl
What is the threshold for prediabetes as a CAD risk factor?
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) ≥ 100 but < 126 mg/dl
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) ≥140 mg/dl but < 200mg/dl
Both have to be confirmed on two separate measurements
What is a negative risk factor for CAD?
High serum HDL-C ≥60mg/dl
What is introjected regulation?
When we view exercise and training as means to a valued end
What is external regulation?
Adhering to an exercise behaviour to satisfy others or avoid punishment
How does one’s physiological arousal/anxiety affect self-efficacy?
The way we interpret our physiological state before or during exercise can either decrease or increase our confidence.
The difference between “I’m nervous” & “I’m ready”
How does performance accomplishments affect self-efficacy?
It has the strongest influence on self-efficacy.
It builds confidence
