Q

Cardiac rehab: def, phases, progression, improvements, recommendations from UK, France & Japan

A

= Sum of activities required to influence favorably underlying cause of disease
- Provide best possible physical, mental & social conditions, so that patients may, by their own efforts, preserve or resume when lost as normal place as possible in community

1) Inpatient period
2) Early post discharge period
3) Intermediate post discharge period involving multidisciplinary rehabilitation in groups or home-based individualized program
4) Long-term maintenance program

Endorse progression from moderate- to vigorous- intensity aerobic exercise in conjunction with resistance training in order to obtain improvements

  • Quality of life
  • Physical strength
  • Aerobic capacity
  • Decrease cardiac risk - Functional capacity

UK, France & Japan recommend lower-intensity aerobic exercise, with reduced focus on resistance training

Q

Inpatient period

A
  • Physical ability compromised after surgery/bed rest
  • Bed rest induces changes in skeletal muscle atrophy & inflammatory markers
  • Muscle activity serves as anti-inflammatory action
  • In addition, bed rest also results in decrease of VO2max as function of aerobic capacity, associated with decreased stroke volume & cardiac output
  • Taken together, early mobilization, which counters effects of bed rest, prevent decrease in aerobic capacity & patients undergoing early mobilization might walk longer distance during 6MWT as result of prevention of dysfunction due to bed rest

Q

Components of exercise training + description of each

A

WARM-UP:
- At least 5-10 min of light to moderate intensity cardiorespiratory & muscular endurance activities
- To adjust to changing physiologic, bio mechanical & bioenergetic demands placed on its during conditioning phase (decrease risk of injury)

CONDITIONING:
- At least 20-60 min of aerobic, resistance, neuromotor and/or sports activities (exercise bouts of 10 min acceptable if individual accumulates at least 20-60 min/day of aerobic exercise)

COOL-DOWN:
- At least 5-10 min of light to moderate intensity cardiorespiratory & muscular endurance activities
- To allow for gradual recovery of HR, BR & removal of metabolic end products from muscles used during more intense exercise conditioning phase

17
Q

Characteristics of exercise prescription

A

Overload: Chronic overloading of systems through exercise causes adaptations to perform better in exercise
Specificity: Only specific system overloaded by exercise will adapt to become stronger
Reversibility: When stop exercising, adaptations developed in response to exercise revert back to original state
Individuality: Individuals exhibit range of responses to given training stress (genetics, age, experience, body size & health status affect outcomes)

18
Q

FITT-VP

A
  • Frequency: How often exercise performed
  • Intensity: How hard exercise
  • Time: How long or duration of exercise session
  • Type: Exercise modality (endurance, interval, resistance)
  • Volume: Total volume or amount of exercise (weekly)
  • Progression: Advancement of exercise program
19
Q

Calcul of intensity for exercise prescription

A

% of heart rate reserve (HRR) more accurate because it takes into account both HRmax & HRrest (current fitness level)

Calculated target heart rate:
1) Calculation of HRR (heart rate reserve) HRR = (HRmax - HRrest)
HRmax = 220 - age of patient (see tableau for unhealthy people)
2) Determination of exercise intensity as %HRR (desired %HRR) %HRR = desired intensity x HRR
Do for lower & for higher levels
3) Determine THR range (target heart rate) THR = (%HRR) + HRrest
Do for both levels (lower & higher)

Calculated target VO2
1) Calculation of VO2R: VO2R = VO2max - VO2rest
2) Determination of exercise intensity as %VO2R %VO2R = desired intensity x VO2R
Do for lower & higher levels
3) Determine target VO2R range VO2R range = (%VO2R) + VO2rest
Do for lower & higher levels

20
Q

Types of exercise prescription

A

Aerobic / endurance training
Inspiratory muscle training
High intensity interval training
Interval training
Anaerobic / resistance training

21
Q

Description aerobic / endurance training

A

= Any activity using large muscle groups, maintained continuously & rhythmic in nature (ACSM)
- Aerobic metabolism to extract energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from amino acids, carbohydrates & fatty acids
- Cycling, running, walking, swimming

22
Q

Description inspiratory muscle training

A

2 main types of devices: threshold devices, resistive load devices.

Threshold device:
- Training with this device obtained with hand-held device allowing airflow during inspiration after reaching inspiratory pressure
- Effort required by inspiratory muscles adjusted by tension of spring; tension determines opening of valve

Resistive loading device:
- Most commonly used categories
- Referred to as dumbbell for diaphragm
- Use breathing trainer for 30 breaths twice day

23
Q

Description High intensity interval training

A

Progressive increase in time or intensity of phase of greater effort & reduction of recovery period
- 80% & 100% of HRmax, over 20 min for 3 days/week effective to promote responses on cardiac autonomic control, with effects observed shortly after 2 weeks
- Patients started treadmill walking programs set at individualized speeds & grades expected to induce ischemia & maximal claudication pain (MCP) within 6 min
- When patients reached MCP where pain forced them to stop walking, they would rest sitting in chair for 3 min & then begin walking program again
- Once patient able to walk full 6 min at particular intensity, speed and/or grade increased to induce ischemia & maximal claudication pain earlier

24
Q

Interval training description

A
  • Alternative to endurance training
  • Varying exercise intensity at fixed intervals during single exercise session
  • Increase total volume and/or average exercise intensity performed during exercise session
  • Improvements in CRF & cardio metabolic biomarkers with short-term (3 mo) interval training similar to or greater than with single intensity exercise in individuals with metabolic, cardiovascular or pulmonary disease
25
Q

Anaerobic / resistance training

A
  • Intense physical activity of very short duration, fueled by energy sources within contracting muscles & independent of use of inhaled oxygen as energy source (ACSM)
  • Exercises involving lower & upper limbs
  • Performed 1-3 sets
  • 30-80% 1RM
  • Reps: 6-25 per set
  • Frequency: 2 to 4 times week
  • Exercise training zones: Resistance training using less than 20%1RM generally considered aerobic endurance training
  • > 20%1RM, muscular capillaries become compressed during muscle contraction
  • Number of repetitions inversely related to training intensity
  • Moderate training intensity of 30-50%1RM with 15-30 repetitions considered muscular Endurance training
  • > 50-70%1RM with 8-15 repetitions optimal for Strength gains
    ACTIVE:
  • inspiration (concentric phase) - expiration (eccentric phase)
    PASSIVE:
  • exhalation (concentric)
  • inspiration (eccentric)
    => Breathing blockage in one of phases. Usually: inhalation & hold (concentric) — exhalation (eccentric)
    Inspiration & hold - concentric & eccentric phase - after effort, exhale
    => Increase intra-abdominal pressure, increase blood pressure & athletes with more experience
26
Q

Description of frequency

A
  • Optimal frequency: unknown
  • At least 3x/week with regular supervision - Endurance training: 3-5 times per week
  • Resistance training: 2-3 times per week
  • Maintenance: at least 1 time per week

As long as needed as short as possible
