Exam Flashcards
Aerobic metabolism
Requires oxygen
Utilizes carbs, fats, proteins
Byproduct: water, CO2
Yields 36 ATP/glucose
Types of cells: heart, CNS, PNS, skeletal muscle (slow twitch)
Anaerobic metabolism
O2 not required
Utilizes ONLY carbohydrates
By-product: lactic acid
Occurs in cytoplasm
Yields 2 ATP/glucose
Types of cells: CT (bone, cartilage, RBC), skeletal muscle fast twitch
Anaerobic threshold
No longer able to perform work solely via aerobic
~55% VO2max (+/- training and detraining)
VO2 max
Max capacity of the body to transport and use oxygen with exercise
Factors that affect VO2
Age
Sex
Genetics (muscle fiber type)
Body composition
Endurance training
Diseases that affect oxygen transport
Name meds with exercise implications to MITIGATE FALL RISK due to INCREASED BLEEDING RISK?
Anticoagulant (a-fib)
Platelet aggregation inhibitor (PAD)
Which medication has side effects of hypotension and bradyarrhythmia?
How does this affect exercise?
Med: Metoprolol (beta blockers)
Use RPE in conjunction with HR
Which med has side effects of tachycardia, palpitation, and tremors?
This leads to exercise implication of __.
Medication: Albuterol (fast-acting bronchodilator)
Use RPE in conjunction with HR
Which medication has side effects of increased MI and CVA?
Ipratropium (anticholinergic bronchodilator)
Which medication has side effects of hypernatremia and psychiatric distress?
How does it affect exercise?
Medication: Prednisone (adrenocortical steroid)
Monitor mental health and electrolyte balance with exercise (e.g. dry mouth)
Which medication blocks enzyme needed to make cholesterol and has side effects of increased glucose/HbA1c levels, myalgia/arthralgia, and tendon rupture?
How does this impact exercise?
Medication: Atorvastatin (HMG-COA reductase inhibitor)
Monitor arthralgia/myalgia and dysglycemia
NO EFFECT ON HR/BP
Which medication is used to treat GI ulcers and GERD and has side effects of increased fracture risk?
How does this affect exercise?
Medication: Omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor)
Mitigate fall risk due to increased fracture risk
Which medication is used for anxiety and has side effects of hypotension, palpitations, ataxia?
How does this affect exercise?
Alprazolam (benzodiazepine)
Mitigate fall risk due to syncope and hypotension
Which medication is used to treat intermittent claudication and side effects of palpitations and myalgia?
How does this impact exercise?
Medication: Cilostazol (platelet aggregation inhibitor)
Mitigate fall risk due to increased bleeding risk
Assumptions of submax testing (5)
- Steady state HR obtained
- HRmax given age is uniform (220-age)
- Mechanical efficiency same for everyone
- Linear relationship between HR and workload
- HR varies depending on fitness level
Karvonen formula
THR = (HRmax-HRrest)*(%intensity) + HRrest
High intensity rehab contraindications conditions <6 weeks

Acute cardiac event (MI, vtach/vfib, CABG, pacemaker placement)
CVA
PE
Cerebral aneurysm treated any size
