Caveats to PA - Risks (lecture 14) Flashcards
Explain the paradox that occurs in older sedentary patients with CVD?
Exercise will reduce the risk of CVD/death but performing exercise will increase the risk of a cardiovascular event during exercise
What are some of the predominantly female related risks?
Low bone mineral density
Osteoarthritis (will be due to excessive load or poor biomechanics)
Why is HIIT considered to be more effective?
Shown to control blood glucose better, power blood pressure more and increase aerobic capacity by more. Also shown to reduce risk of hypertension
Why may HIIT not suit everyone?
Shown to blunt brain blood flow regulation in masters athletes
Explain the relationship between brain blood flow responsiveness and fitness?
Repeated exposure to CO2 from exercise not ideal and has a desensitization effect.
Said to be a J shaped relationship between the two
