Chapter 5 Participation Health Screening

Question 1

Individuals with these underlying cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are at the greatest risk for what two cardiac events when performing moderate to vigorous activities?

Answer 1

1 Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)

2 Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD)

Question 2

Health screening process is based on three factors:

Answer 2

1 Individual’s current level of physical activity
2 Diagnosed cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease
3 Desired exercise intensity

Question 3

Goal of the Health Screening process:

Answer 3

1 Who should get a medical clearance before starting an new exercise program
2 Who should be monitored while participating in a medically supervised exercise program with significant disease(s)
3 Who does not need medical clearance with existing medical conditions

Question 4

Ischemia

Answer 4

Decrease in blood supply to an organ, tissue, or part due to blood vessel constriction/obstruction

Question 5

Clients that DO NOT participate in regular exercise, medical clearance is recommended when:

Answer 5

Client HAS cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease(s) or signs/symptoms to suggest so

Question 6

Clients that DO participate in regular exercise, medical clearance is recommended when:

Answer 6

Client has signs/symptoms to suggest cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease(s)
Client has history of cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease and want to progress to vigorous intensity

Question 7

dyspnea

Answer 7

Shortness of breath at rest with mild exertion

Question 8

syncope

Answer 8

Dizziness

Question 9

What are some additional forms?

Answer 9

Agreement to participate
Informed Consent
Lifestyle and Health History
Medical Release (if needed to participate)

Question 10

Beta Blockers

Answer 10

Block epinephrine and norepinendrine and reduce HR

Question 11

Calcium Channel Blockers

Answer 11

Prevent calcium dependent contraction of the smooth muscle in the arteries causing them to dilate. May reduce, increase or have no effect of on HR

Question 12

ACE Inhibitors

Answer 12

block an enzyme secreted by the kidneys to prevent constriction of the blood vessels. Should not affect HR but will decrease BP.

Question 13

Diuretics

Answer 13

Medication that increase the excretion of water and electrolytes. May cause electrolyte imbalances and easily dehydrate. No primary effect on the HR

Question 14

Bronchodialators

Answer 14

Asthma medications that open the airways in the lungs. Increase exercise capacity and have minimal effect on HR/BP.
