Q

Exercise goals for phase 2

A
  1. improve functional capacity
  2. progress toward full resumption of activities of daily living, habitual and occupational activities
  3. promote risk factor modification, counseling as to lifestyle changes
  4. encourage activity pacing, energy conservation; stress importance of taking proper rest periods

Q

who benefits from an outpatient phase 2 cardiac rehab?

A

pts at risk for arrhythmias with exercise, angina, other medical problems
- due to the availability of ECG monitoring, trained personnel, and emergency support

16
Q

what can help in risk factor modification and lifestyle changes during phase 2 of cardiac rehab?

A

group camaraderie and support of program participants

17
Q

phase 2 frequency

A

2-3 sessions/wk

18
Q

phase 2 duration of sessions

A

30-60 mins with 5-10 mins of warm up and cool down

19
Q

modes of training in phase 2

A

programs may offer a single mode of training or multiple modes using a circuit training approach; also includes strength training

20
Q

suggested exit point of phase 2

A

9 MET functional capacity
(5 MET capacity is needed for safe resumption of most daily activities)

21
Q

during phase 2, when can you begin strength training

A
  • after 3 weeks of cardiac rehab
    OR
  • 5 weeks post-MI or 8 weeks post-CABG
22
Q

progression of strength training in phase 2

A
  • begin with elastic bands and light hand weights (1-3lbs)
  • progress to moderate loads; 12-15 comfortable repetitions
23
Q

what is phase 3 of cardiac rehab

A

community exercise programs (postacute, post discharge from phase 2)

24
Q

exercise goals and outcomes from phase 3

A
  1. improve and/or maintain functional capacity
  2. promote self-regulation of exercise programs
  3. promote lifelong commitment to risk factor modification
25
Q

location of phase 3

A
  • community centers
  • YMCA
  • clinical facilities
26
Q

entry level criteria for phase 3

A
  • functional capacity of 5 METS
  • clinically stable angina
  • medially controlled arrhythmias during exercise what
27
Q

is the progression of phase 3

A
  • from supervised to self-regulation of exercise
  • to 50-80% of functional capacity
  • 3-4 times/wk
  • 45 mins or more/session
28
Q

what is required during phase 3

A

regular medical check ups and periodic GXT

29
Q

when is discharge from phase 3

A

typically in 6-12 months

30
Q

goals of resistance training

A
  • improve muscle strength and endurance
  • enhance functional independence
  • decrease cardiac demands during daily activities
31
Q

patient criteria for resistance training post-MI

A

permitted if remain under 70% HRmax or 5 METs for 6 weeks post MI
- be cautious of valsalva

32
Q

criteria for resistance training post cardiac surgery

A
  • LE resistance training can be initiated immediately, in the absence of peri-op MI
  • UE training should be avoided until soft tissue and bony healing has occurred: 6-8 weeks
33
Q

criteria for resistance training post-transcatheter procedure

A

minimum of 3 weeks following procedure and 2 weeks of consistent participation in a supervised cardiac rehab insurance training program

34
Q

exercise prescription for resistance training

A
  1. start with low resistance (1 set of 10-15 reps); progress slowly
  2. resistance can include: weights (50% or more of 1RM), elastic bands, light cuff and hand weights, wall pulleys
  3. RPE should range from 11-13
  4. RPP should not exceed that prescribed during endurance exercise
