>=240     high
25
Q

Triglyceride (TG) Classifications

32
Q

Asthma Considerations

A

In general, people with asthma should be able to participate in regular exercise and sports with minimal restrictions if properly medicated.

  1. Always have rescue medication
  2. Drink plenty of fluids
  3. Avoid asthma triggers - heat or cold
  4. Utilize prolonged warm up and cool down
  5. Start with low intensity and gradually increase
  6. PT should closely observe client for EIB

38
Q

Osteoporosis Considerations

A

Characterized by low bone mass and disrupted microarchitecture. Defined as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) that is >=2.5 deviations below mean. Affects more women than men. Hip fractures are caused by falls 90% of the time. Common areas for fracture are hip, vertebrae and wrist. One in two women will break a bone due to osteoporosis and 1 in 4 for men.

39
Q

Osteopenia Definition

A

1-2.5 deviations below mean for BMD

40
Q

Osteoporosis Nutrition

A

Calcium and Vitamin D
Vitamin D aids calcium absorption
If calcium is inadequate it gets resorbed from the bones
Excessive alcohol is detrimental to bone health

41
Q

FITT Recommendations for Osteoporosis

A

Frequency - cardio 4-5 days/wk, 1-2 to 2-3days/wk
Intensity - mod some to vigor, adjust so 2 reps are challenging - high intensity if tolerated
Time - 20min progress to 60min, start at 1 sets 8-12 reps then 2 sets no more than 8-10 exercises
Type - weight bearing, emphasize balance, gait, function movement

42
Q

FITT Recommendations for Arthritis

A

Frequency - cardio 3-5 days/wk, 2-3days/wk
Intensity - light to mod, 50-80% of 1-RM
Time - 150min/wk mod or 75/wk vigor, 2-4 sets 8-12 reps
Type - low impact large muscle, variety within pain free ROM

43
Q

Arthritis Considerations

A
  1. People with arthritis have higher rates of depression & anxiety
  2. People with diabetes are almost twice as likely to have arthritis
  3. Having arthritis increases risk of developing CVD
  4. Higher uric acid with gout is linked to higher risk of hypertension
  5. Obesity increases risk of OA due to higher load on joints
  6. Obesity is also associated with RA and lupus
  7. Higher in women than men
44
Q

Arthritis OA cause

A

Overuse, trauma, obesity, or degeneration of joint cartilage that takes place with age.

45
Q

Arthritis RA cause

A

RA is an autoimmune disease in synovial tissue and progresses to an erosion of articular cartilage and bone. More disabling than OA and causes greater deformity. Exercise is integral part of treatment.
