25
The choice of GXT should be based on what aspects?
1. population (athletes, cardiac patients, children,) 2. purpose (estimate CRF, measure VO2 max, diagnose CHD) 3. cost (equipment and personnel)
26
when choosing GXT protocol, it should vary in terms of of?
1. initial work rate 2. how large the increment in work rate will be in between stages 3. duration of each stage
27
Which protocol is usually used with poorly fit subjects with work rate increasing only 1 MET each 3 mins?
National Exercise and Heart Disease protocol
28
What is the Standard Balke protocol? | Who is it suitable for?
- starts at about 4 METs and progresses 1 MET each 2 mins | - suitable for those who are most average sedentary adults
29
The steps to follow before conducting an exercise test to evaluate CRF include the following:
1. Review the health history for known diseases, signs and symptoms, and risk factors 2. Stratify the level of risk 3. Determine the type of test and level of supervision needed
30
What is the Bruce protocol? Who does it suit? What activity is performed?
- for young active subjects - starts at about 5 METs and progresses at 2 or 3 METs per stage - running and walking up a graded fitness continuum
31
The running speed formula provides reasonable estimates of VO2 max for who?
Adults, but would underestimate values for young children because of poor economy of running - also would overestimate the value for VO2 max for those woh walk because the cost of walking is half that of running
32
An ECG is obtained when what is to be the diagnostic test?
Graded Exercise Test
33
VO2 max estimated in an endurance run test is influenced by
- cardiovascular function and body fatness
34
What are the common measurements made during a GXT
- heart rate - blood pressure - ECG
35
Heart rate during GXT is measured over:
A 15-30 second time period during steady state exercise to obtain reliable estimate of the HR
36
T/F BP can be reliably measuring during running test
NO
37
Which number Korotkoff sound is considered systolic and diastolic
- 1st Korotkoff sound is systolic | - 4th is diastolic BP
38
What is the double product?
- Product of heart rate and systolic BP | - an estimate of work and O2 demand of heart
39
ECG is used as an indicator of
Ability of heart to function normallly during times of imposed work
40
ECG is evaluated for
Arrhythmia, conduction disturbances, and myocardial ischemia
41
Arrythmias
Irregularities in normal electrical rhythm of the heart that can be localized to the atria, AV node, or ventricles
42
Conduction disturbances
- describes defect in which depolarization is slowed or completely blocked
43
Myocardial ischemia and a symptom of it
- inadequate perfusion of the myocardium relative to the metabolic demand of the heart - symptom is angina pectoris (breathlessness, abdominal pain) - sign associated with myocardial ischemia is depression of ST segment on ECG
44
Primary criterion for having achieved a true VO2 max is that And what percent of healthy adults experience a plateau
The VO2 fails to increase when the workload is increased yielding a plateau in the VO2 - 50%
45
Secondary criteria for achieving max VO2
- post exercise blood lactate [] of >8mmoles L-1 | - An R exceeding 1.15
46
The highest value for VO2 max is usually measured with
- running test up a grade on a treadmill, followed by walking test up a grade on a treadmill and then on a cycle ergometer
47
- In American populations, walk test protocols yield values about what percent lower than those for run test - while cycle test protocols yield values about what lower than run test e
- 6% | - 10-11% lower than those of run test
48
Europeans show only what percent difference for VO2 max
5-7%
49
Arm ergometer tests will yield values equal to about what percent of VO2 max measured with legs
70%
50
What is VO2 max and Vo2 peak?
- VO2 max is value measured on a graded running test | - VO2 peak is term used to describe highest VO2 achieved on walk, cycle, or arm
51
For low fit individuals, a recommended procedure to use when measuring steady state is
Last completed stage of test
52
Estimation of VO2 max from heart rate values measured during a series of submaximal work rates has 2 main problems:
1. Formula used for estimating maximal HR | 2. Any variable that affects submaximal Hearst rate will affect the slope of the HR/Vo2 line and the estimate of VO2 max
53
The standard Blake protocol starts about what MET
4 METs and progresses 1 MET each 2 minutes and is suitable for most sedentary adults
54
Bruce protocol for young active subjects starts at what MET
- 5 MET and progresses at 2 to 3 MET per stage
55
Which test provide the greatest potential load on the cardiovascular system
- treadmill
56
For the treadmill test, why is there no need to make adjustments to the VO2 calculations
Due to differences in body weight. Treadmill require subject to carry his or her own weight
57
What is the Blake standard protocol
3 mph, 2.5% each 2 minutes, and the test is terminated at 85% of age predicted maximal hr
58
Generally, pedal rate is maintained in a cycle ergometer test at a rate suitable to population being tested:
1. 50-60 rpm for low to average fit | 2. 70-100 for highly fit
59
The starting work rate and the increment from one stage to the next in cycle ergometer is dependent on
Fitness of subject and purpose of that test
60
Cycle ergometer is different from treadmill in that
Body weight is supported by seat and work rate is dependent on crank speed and load on the wheel
61
In YMCA protocol for cycle ergometer
- each stage lasts 3 minutes and heart rate values are obtained in last 30 secs of 2 and 3rd minute - if heart rate is less than 5minutes between 2 time periods, steady state is assumed
