Exam 2 Flashcards
Aerobic Fitness Testing VO2 and outcome measures: healthy populations vs. patient populations
Healthy Population:
- submax or maximal VO2 (true VO2max)
- outcome measures: aerobic fitness, actual HRmax, anaerobic threshold (lactate), training
Patient Population:
- symptom limited VO2 (peak VO2)
- outcome measures: establish diagnoses, functional capacity, responses to training, training
Fitness Testing- Aerobic, Anaerobic, and Resistance (level of performance is base on…, and is the capacity to…)
Aerobic: level of perf based on O2 consumption, capacity to transport and utilize oxygen
Anaerobic: level of perf based on power output, capacity to generate large forces quickly
Resistance: level of perf based on force production, capacity to generate force regardless of timespan
Stress Testing: intervals, test ends when
- start at low level workload and increase workload, maintain intervals for 1 minute
- test ends when: ECG abnormality, exhaustion, other symptoms (SBP>220, SOB, leg pain, angina, color)
Anaerobic Power Testing
- Wingate Cycle Ergometer Test
- Timed stair climb
- Arm ergometer
- Depends on client needs and goals
Resistance Testing- examples and which are isometric
- cable tensiometer, dynamometer –> isometric
- one rep max/estimate, isokinetic dynamometer –> move through ROM
- may also be interested in endurance
Test Sequencing
- nonfatiguing tests- biometrics, flexibility
- power and strength
- muscle endurance
- anaerobic
- aerobic
* *probably not a good idea to do them all in one day
How to Create your Exercise Prescription
- Prescription Variables: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
- Client Status and Goals: aerobic capacity (max HR), muscle strength, balance, precautions, personal goals
Prescription Variables
- Frequency: AT LEAST 2x per week, ideally 3-4x per week
- Intensity: overload and specificity principles
- Time: depends on intensity, can be in 10 min bouts
- 20 to 30 min at 60-70% HRmax
- 45 min for lower intensities
- 10 to 15 min for higher intensities
*Type: patient/client goals, involve all muscle groups
Continuous Exercise
- aerobic
- most effective way to improve endurance
- stresses slow twitch fibers for aerobic metabolism
- overload achieved by increasing duration
Interval Training
- more intense, shorter duration intervals with rest inbetween
- active or passive rest (1:1 or 1:2 work to recovery)
- improves strength and power
- greater total amount of work accomplished
Circuit Training
- series of exercises performed many times
- improve strength and endurance
- endurance and strength training, aerobic and resistance training are not mutually exclusive
Circuit-Interval Training
-interaction of aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways
Cool Down
- 5 to 10 minutes of total body movements
- prevent blood pooling
- enhance recovery
- prevent CV complications (warm up does this too)
Inpatient Exercise Prescription
- Cardiac Rehab Phase I
- Purpose: risk factor education, self care, orthostatic challenge, prepare for discharge
Low Level Outpatient Exercise Prescription
- safely increase capacity
- favorable metabolic changes
- relieve anxiety and depression
- progress to independent exercise
- frequently uses circuit interval training
Deconditioning
- decreased oxygen utilization
- decreased blood volume: orthostatic hypotension
- increased risk for embolism formation (decreased plasma and RBCs)
- decreased lean body mass
- decrease in bone mineral density
General Training Benefits
- increased work capacity/work tolerance
- increased SV
- decreased myocardial demand for oxygen
- increased myocardial supply: prolonged diastole
- decreased resting HR because increased SV
- decreased resting BP
- improved body comp
- improved bone mineral density
