Exam 1 Week 3 Flashcards
what is CRF
cardiorespiratory fitness
what are low levels of CRF linked to
development of chronic diseases and increased all-cause mortality
what is the relationship between CRF and all cause mortality.
the higher the CRF, the lower the all cause mortality
high levels of CRF are associated with …. ___ frequency of activity, resulting in health benefits and increased ___
increased, HRQOL
when you increase your CRF by 1 MET, you decrease your mortality by
12-13%
the more fit you are, the ___ risk you have of death
less
what is the FICK equation
you get O2 coming into the body, into the pulmonary system, then into the systemic, then it is consumed by muscles, and you have CO2 being expelled at the same time.
what is oxygen uptake (VO2)
the amount of oxygen consumed by the body tissue
what should happen to VO2 with an acute bout of exercise
it should increase
TF: VO2 is directly related to he mass of exercising muscle metabolic efficiency and exercise intensity
true
1 MET = ____ ml/kg/min
3.5?
what happens to a-VO2 as we exercise?
exercise, we take more O2 our of the blood, so the difference between the O2 content in the arterial vs venous systems increases, meaning more O2 is taken our of the blood as we have a higher demand for exercise. We have less O2 at the capillary level.
as we exercise, what happens to O2 take-up
it increases, more O2 is taken out of the blood
what is metabolic equivalent
a MET. it is a measure of energy or oxygen used by the body
how many METs are used by the body at rest
1 MET= 3.5mL/kg/min
how can MET be used to measure exercise capacity
because it is the measure of energy or oxygen used by the body. the more we exercise, the more energy we use.
activity that burns ____ METs is considered moderate intensity, and burns >___ METs is considered vigorous
3-6
>6
what is the maximal oxygen uptake range (METs, and mL/kg/min?)
25-80mL/kg/min
METs 7.1-22.9
how can METs be used when prescribing activity
to determine the level of activity we can give them. Determine how hard we want them working.
what are the maximal effort objective indicators. which two are most important
- *-respiratory exchange ration of greater then or equal to 1.1
- *-plateau of VO2 (it doesn’t continue to go up with increased work load)
- achievement of age predicted HR max
- RPE near the max
what measures should be taken during exercise. what are these measures good for
HR, BP, VO2 max, workload, RPE and others like dyspnea and angina. good for determining an appropriate exercise program, progress and return to activity
what happens to ventilation threshold in a trained individual, and how should ventilation increase
increases,
linearly
what happens to blood lactate as we exercise
the threshold will increase
what are general indications to stop the test (12)
onset of angina, drop in SBP more then 10mmHg with increased workload, BP rises too much (250/115), SoB, wheezing, leg cramping, claudication. HR does not increase with exercise intensity, change in rhythm, wants to stop, too tired or equipment fails.
