Q

What is the protocol for performing a skin fold measurement?

A
  1. client should be hydrated and measure then prior to any exercise
  2. Make sure client is comfortable with the protocol (explain it to them)
  3. All measurements should be taken on the right side of the body while the client is standing
  4. Use washable pencil or eyeliner to mark them up
  5. Hold calipers in right hand while grasping skin fold with the left hand
  6. Grasp or pinch the skin fold site thus pulling the subcutaneous fat and skin away from the muscle tissue
  7. The pinch is maintained while calipers are positioned perpendicular to the site, on the marked site, midway between the top and base of the fold
  8. Slowly release caliper trigger, reading the dial to the nearest 0.5mm approximately 2-3 seconds after release
  9. After reading, gently squeeze calipers to remove caliper before releasing the skin
  10. Each of the 3 sites should be measured at least twice
  11. If subsequent readings differ more than 2mm then a third reading is necessary and the average of the two most similar scores should be taken
  12. Wait between 20-30 seconds between measurements to allow skin and fat to redistribute
  13. Record all measurements on a testing form

33
Q

What are Waist Circumference numbers considered too high for men and women

A

Men: 39.5 inches or greater

Women: 35.5 or greater

34
Q

What are the reasons for administering a Cardiorespiratory Fitness Test (CRF Test)?

A
  • Determine functional capacity, using predetermined formulas based on age, gender, and sometimes Bodyweight
  • Determine VO2 max or metabolic equivalent (MET) that serves as a starting point for aerobic conditioning
  • Determine any underlying Cardiorespiratory abnormalities that signify progressive stages of cardiovascular disease
  • Periodically reassess progress following a structured fitness program
35
Q

What is a VO2 max assessment?

A
  • Conducted mainly in laboratories, involves collection and analysis of air exhaled during max exercise
  • V02 max is an estimation of the body‘s ability to use oxygen for energy, and is closely related to the functional capacity of the heart
36
Q

What is a sub maximal CRF Test?

A

-This assessment provides accurate values that can be extrapolated to determine expected maximal effort

37
Q

What are some methods available to Trainers to determine max heart rate?

A
  • Cycle Ergometer Tests
    (YMCA Bike Test

-Ventilatory Threshold Testing
(Sub max talk test for VT1
VT2 Threshold Test)

-Field Test
(Rockport fitness walking test (1 mile)
(1.5 mile run test)

-Step Tests
(YMCA submaximal step test 12 inches)

38
Q

What are the two ways of estimating max heart rate?

A

EKG Test (more accurate)

Formula (220 minus your age)

39
Q

What are some common ways that Cardiorespiratory fitness is measured in the lab or a fitness center?

A

Treadmill: intensity is raised by increasing speed or elevation

Cycle or Arm Ergometer: the intensity is raised by increasing resistance, while the cadence is held constant

40
Q

How do you explain to the lack of accuracy in estimated maximum oxygen uptake assessments?

A

The charts and equations which are used to determine max heart rate from sub max HR data are based on the assumption that everyone expends exactly the same amount of energy and uses the same amount of oxygen at any given work rate

This is why it’s necessary to remeasure a few months later and then compare the individuals test results

41
Q

How to perform Cycle Ergometer (YMCA Bike Test)?

A

Pre-Test

  1. Estimate sub max HR using formula
    (206. 9- (0.67 x Age))
  2. Measure clients weight in lbs and convert to kg (divide the weight by 2.2)
  3. Discuss RPE with the client
  4. Adjust seat height (with a neutral ankle the leg should almost straighten at the bottom of the rotation)
  5. Client should ride at 50rpm or set a metronome to 100 bpm to coincide with each pedal stroke
  6. 2-3 minute warmup period at RPE 3 with very low tension

Test Protocol

  1. Each stage is 3 minutes long. The first workload is set at 150 kgm/min (15 watts) or .5 KG
  2. Coach client to stay at 50 rpm
  3. Measure HR and RPE at the end of each minute (last 15 seconds)
  4. Before progressing to the next stage, the HR of the third minute must be within 5bpm of the HR at the second minute or else perform another minute and record
  5. The next stage workload will be dependent on their heart rate in the completed stage
  6. Record HR, RPE, and BP for each stage
  7. Discourage talking during the test because it can increase HR
42
Q

Ventilatory Threshold

A

Ventilatory Threshold increases linearly with oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. This occurs primarily through an increase in tidal volume (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled per breath)

Overcompensation in breathing frequency is a result of the body trying blow off excess CO2 produced by anaerobic glycolysis (which predominates near maximal intensity

VT1 represents the point when blood lactate accumulates faster than it can be cleared, resulting in a person breathing faster in effort to blow off the CO2

VT2 occurs when lactate is rapidly increasing with intensity and the body cannot keep up with blowing off CO2 adequately to reduce the increase in acidity that occurs with intense exercise

43
Q

How to perform the Submaximal Talk Test?

A

This test is best performed using a HR Telemetry (HR Strap and Watch)

Can be performed using a treadmill, cycle Ergometer, or elliptical

Goal is to incrementally increase steady state HR by about 5bpm per stage (each stage is usually 1-2 minutes to reach steady state)

Total test time is 8-16 minutes

  1. Measure resting HR and BP sitting down and standing up before the test begins
  2. Explain to client how to perform the test
  3. Take client though a 3-5 minute warmup maintaining a heart rate below 120 bpm
  4. Once warmed up, adjust workload intensity so the client’s HR is approximately 120 bpm or at RPE 3-4
  5. Begin the test maintaining intensity until HRs is achieved.
  6. Last 20-30 seconds of each stage, measure HR
  7. Ask client to recite Pledge of Allegiance
  8. Ask & Record how difficult it is for them to talk
  9. If VT1 is not achieved then progress through to successive stages us VT1 is achieved
  10. Once HR and VT1 are identified proceed to cool down phase
44
Q

How to Perform VT2 Threshold Test?

Aka Lactate Threshold Test

A

Estimate VT2 by identifying the highest sustainable intensity they can maintain for an extended duration (cycling is approximately 60 minutes and running is approximately 30 minutes)

To predict the VT2 using a 15-20 minute test, trainers can estimate that the HR at VT2 would be 95% of the 15-20 minutes HR average

This test is best performed using a HR telemetry for continuous monitoring

45
Q

Ventilation vs. Perfusion

A

Ventilation (V) refers to the flow of air into and out of the alveoli, while perfusion (Q) refers to the flow of blood to alveolar capillaries. Individual alveoli have variable degrees of ventilation and perfusion in different regions of the lungs.

46
Q

What is Tidal Volume?

A

The volume of air (LxWxH)

inhaled and exhaled per breath

47
Q

What is Minute Ventilation?

A

The volume of air breathed per minute

48
Q

What is ventilation ?

A

movement of air (breathing)

Ventilation, or breathing, is the movement of air through the conducting passages between the atmosphere and the lungs.

49
Q

How are ventilatory thresholds identified?

A

In general, as exercise intensity increases, ventilation (breathing) increases in a somewhat linear manner.
There are points in which there are discrepancies (caused by metabolic changes for example switching from aerobic to anaerobic glycolysis).
These points are called ventilatory thresholds and there are ways to test at what HR or exercise intensity they occur

50
Q

In well trained individuals, how long can exercise be sustained at VT1 and VT2?

A

VT1: 1-2 hours

VT2: 30-60 minutes

51
Q

  • Record how long it takes
  • Record HR
  • Plug data into formula
52
Q

What is the 1.5 mile run test?

A

  1. Record Client’s weight and age
  2. Stopwatch; GO!
  3. Record time and immediate post-exercise HR
  4. Plug into formula
53
Q

What is the YMCA Submaximal Step Test?

  5. Record score on testing form
55
Q

What is the protocol for performing the Curl Up test?

Not for people with low back problems

  1. Explain protocol and purpose of test and explain/demonstrate proper form
  2. Lie supine on the ground with feet flat on the floor and legs at a 90 degree angle
  3. Curl up (lift shoulder blades off the mat with approximately 30 degree angle of trunk flexion)
  4. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down
  5. Perform reps to failure
  6. Clients head does not need to touch the mat on the way down
  7. No neck curls; movement is trunk flexion

  8. Second set at 75% of estimated 1 RM for 3-5 reps and rest for 1 min
  9. Third set have the client perform 2-3 reps at approximately 85-90% 1RM and rest for 2 minutes
  10. Calculate estimated 1RM and then have the client attempt this set
  11. If they succeed then increase the weight and have them attempt that after 2-4 minutes of rest
  12. Ideally the client achieves their 1 RM after 3-5 working sets
62
Q

What is the protocol for the 1 RM Leg Press strength test?

A

Only suitable for people who can perform with proper form and do not have knee low back or knee pain

  5. Second set 70-75% for 3-5 reps
  6. Third set 85-90% for 2-3 reps and two minutes rest
  7. Calculate 1RM and have client attempt that weight and rest 2-4 minutes
  8. Add weight until they achieve their 1 RM preferably within 3-5 working sets
  9. Record all the data from their warm ups and working sets to use for comparison later on in the program
  10. Any machine can be used as long it’s the same for all sets and tests at a later date for comparison

    4b. Inhale during lowering phase; exhale during upward phase
  5. Initiate flexion with the hips prior to bending the knees
  6. Client should try to hit 90 degrees
  7. Upward phase is performed by pushing through the heels
  8. Don’t lock out knees or go too far below parallel
    Rep progression:
  9. 50% of estimated 1 RM for 10 reps
  10. 75% for 3-5 reps; 1 minute rest
  11. 85-95% for 2-3 reps; rest 2 minutes
  12. Attempt estimated 1 RM; rest 2-4 minutes and go up in weight until they hit 1 RM
  13. Record weight, progress, sets, reps and calculate relative strength (client’s weight (lbs) divided by weight lifted (lbs) = relative strength ratio
  14. Save results to measure for future progress
    6.
65
