Q

Explain the story of the london bus drivers

A

In 1953 The helpers on the bus worked and moved by collecting money and doing other things. While the bus drivers sat all day and drove around London. They did a study that found that the bus drivers developed heart diseases because they sat all day. While the workers didn’t get any type of heart disease because they were standing, and walking around and up the stairs all day.

Q

What is Myocardial infarction?

A

when blood flow to the heart is reduced or stopped, causing the heart muscle to die from lack of oxygen (Heart Attack)

23
Q

What is Angina Pectoris?

A

chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen and blood caused by plaque buildup

24
What is Peripheral vascular disease?
the reduced circulation of blood to the extremities in the body (hands, feet, Etc.)
24
What is the relationship like with Peripheral vascular disease and diabetes?
High glucose levels is the problem of Peripheral vascular disease. Which leads to not having good circulation in the extremities and if you get sores there it is difficult to recover from
25
What is Chronic heart failure?
When the heart walls get too thick and wither away, it works too hard and just burns out
26
What is hypertension?
It is where you constantly have high blood pressure in the body
27
What is COPD?
chronic inflammation or loss of the tissue in the lungs and alveoli. Wherever the tissue expands in the lungs it means it is not functioning. Breathing small particles can cause COPD. CANNOT GET AIR OUT WELL ENOUGH
28
What is Restrictive pulmonary disease?
a group of disorders that limit the amount of air the lungs can hold CANT BREATHE IN AS WELL
29
What is Asthma?
Inflammation in the respiratory system which leads to narrowing of the airways during physical activity
30
What is Diabetes mellitus?
a metabolic disease that affects how the body uses blood sugar, or glucose. Either type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes
31
What is Insulin resistance?
Where the pancreas produces insulin but the cells cannot respond to it or use it
32
What is Metabolic syndrome? And some examples
a group of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes Examples: Obesity High blood pressure High blood sugar High triglycerides Low HDL cholesterol
33
What is Osteoporosis?
a disease that causes bones to become weak and more likely to break. It loses bone tissue and bone density
33
What is hyperlipidemia?
a condition where there are high levels of fats or lipids in the blood (high cholesterol) CAN CLOG ARTERIES AND DO PLAQUE BUILDUP
34
What is Metabolic inflexibility?
the inability of the body to adjust its metabolism in response to exercise or fuel availability (use carbs instead of fats for certain exercises)
35
What is Muscular dystrophy?
A disease that causes muscles to weaken and lose muscle mass
36
What is Arthritis?
joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited movement
37
What is Multiple sclerosis?
A disease that damages the myelin sheath in the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and slow down or block messages from getting to the brain from other nerve cells around the body
38
What is Cerebral Palsy?
A disorder that affect a person's ability to move, maintain balance, and posture. It's caused by damage to motor and neural tissue
38
What is Oxygen consumption as a test?
It is a VO2 max test how much oxygen you can consume
39
What is Cystic fibrosis?
A genetic disorder that produces mucus. Mucus blocks airways, making it hard to breathe and leading to lung damage and infections
40
What can be learned from the heart rate test?
reveal information about your overall cardiovascular health, including your fitness level, potential heart conditions, the effectiveness of your heart's pumping action, and whether your heartbeat is regular or irregular
40
what does Metabolic syndrome cause?
- obesity - hyperlipidemia - diabetes mellitus
41
What can be learned from the blood pressure test?
Whether you have high or low blood pressure and prevent hypertension
42
What can be learned from the Rating of perceived exertion test?
Can tell you how hard you are working during physical activity and your discomfort level and help you improve on your fitness
43
What can be learned from the electrocardiogram test?
- Can tell if your heart rhythm is off or not - Can tell if you've had a heart attack, heart failure or heart damage.
44
What can be learned from the echocardiography test?
Provide a lot of information about the heart's structure and function Like where the heart is damaged, valve problems, how thick the heart walls are, the hearts size, Etc.
45
What can be learned from the diagnostic testing?
to help figure out what disease or condition a person has based on their signs and symptoms
45
What can be learned from the Oxygen consumption test?
- The maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise - Evaluates your overall cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance
46
What can be learned from the spirometry testing?
tells your healthcare provider how strong your lungs are and how well you breathe
46
What can be learned from the Functional capacity testing?
reveal an individual's physical abilities, limitations, and work tolerances, providing valuable information about whether they can safely return to work, what job tasks they can perform, and if any accommodations are needed
47
What can be learned from the graded exercise test?
reveal important information about an individual's cardiovascular fitness level, including their maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), heart rate response to exercise, potential presence of coronary artery disease, exercise tolerance, and can be used to identify abnormal heart rhythms
48
What is heart rate variability?
The amount of time between heartbeats and how how it varies
49
Is high heart rate variability better than low heart rate variability?
YES IT IS HELPS YOU ADAPT AND MEANS YOU ARE MORE IN SHAPE
50
What happens if you have low heart rate variability?
More inflammation in the body
