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.
When should we do exercise testing
to determine the CRF level and tolerance for activity
determine the baselines and then use to monitor, goal setting and return to sport
how do you prepare for a test
do a cardiac risk analysis before, and determine risks, and health screens and MSK screens
what are some standard tests and measures to use
HR, BP, BMI, RR, body composition
what are some indications f doing cardiorespiratory testing (7)
assess their current status, develop an exercise plan, provide information to educate the patient (only exercise to an RPE of 8) and motivate them, and give feedback on their training program, evaluate for disease, ID limitations (MSK for a training program)
which type of test is indicated? max or submax
we do not want to do a max on an elderly person, someone with cormorbidities, things like that
what does determining the type of test depend on (4)
the health status and fitness level of the patient, the purpose for the test, the measurement we want to get and how we are going to use the results.
what are max tests AKA
graded or stress tests
how are max tests designed
to use gradual increase workload until peak exhaustion is reached.
what are the 4 purposes for max exercise testing
- screen for disease
- diagnose disease when symptoms are present
- establish a prognosis
- treatment plan
what patients are appropriate for max testing? and what do you need standing by
those who’re at a high risk for a disease, but always with a specialist and a crash cart .
also, those who want to start a vigorous workout plan
are max tests recommended for those with a low risk of disease
no
what are types of max tests
bruce (US-treadmill), stationary bike (Europe), timed 1.5 mile run
why is the treadmill test for accurate
the treadmill uses more muscles
TF: we want max testing to be specific to tasks
true
what is the primary purpose of submax testing
to get VO2 max or determine the functional response to exercise
what are some modes of submax tests
field tests, treadmills, cycle ergometers, step testing
what two things help up determining which submax mode to use
fitness program for the patient and MSK restrictions
what are the 3 submax field tests
rockport 1 mile, 6 min walk test, and the 12 minute walk/run
what is the Rockport 1 mile test
for those with low fitness levels or can’t run. you record the time to walk 1 mile. at end, take pulse, multiply by 4 and 15 and plug into the formula
what is the 6 minute walk test
to determine CRF in older adults. can predict morbidity and mortality. MUST BE DONE ON TRACK. good for HF and COPD people because most can walk for 6 minutes. use the formula.
