Exam 2 Slideshow 2 Sept. 30th

Question 1

Common Exercise Test Protocols

Treadmill - 4

Answer 1

• Balke and Ware
• Standard Bruce
• Modified Bruce
• Naughton
• Others

Question 2

Balke and Ware Test Protocol

Answer 2

Population - Active and sedentary men and women

Eqaution -
Men - r = 0.92 VO2 = 1.444 SEE = 2.50
Women - r = 0.94 VO2 =1.38 SEE = 2.20

Question 3

Standard Bruce Protocols

Answer 3

All people - cardiac patients as well

Men - r =
Increase grade every minute

very brutal because it starts at a 10% grade

Question 4

Modified Bruce Protocols

Answer 4

Starts at 0% grade

Question 5

Naughton Protocols

Answer 5

For male cardiac patients

VO2 = 1.61 + 3.60
r = 0.97 SEE = 2.60

Increases 3.5% every 2 min

Question 6

Treadmill Testing Variables to think about

Answer 6

What is best for your client?
Customizing a test might be best
Sub-maximal might be safest
Use ACSM eqautions when in steady state

Question 7

To be able to use eqautions on charts with grade and all that the test must be at

Answer 7

steady state

Question 8

Cadence is

Answer 8

revolutions per minute

Question 9

Testing with Cycle Ergometers

Before the Test (In Advance) -

Afterward -

Answer 9

In advance -
- Check calibration
- Know cadence & resistance
requirements (especially changes)
- Establish warm-up and cool-down
requirements
- Set proper seat height & handlebars

Afterward -
- Unload any resistance on flywheel

Power = F v = F (d/t) = load (kg) x flywheel “travel” (m/rev) x cadence (rev/min)

Question 10

Power is the

Answer 10

rate of doing work
Units for FORCE = lbs or Newtons

Power = Kg m/min

Question 11

Might be given this on test
For Steady State Exercise Only

Answer 11

VO2 = W/M x 1.8 + 3.5

Question 12

Units for Power for a Cycle Erogmeter is

Answer 12

Power = Kg m/min

For Steady State ONLY

Question 13

Stationary Bike Test Protocols - 3

Answer 13

• Astrand
• Fox
• MacArdle

Question 14

Bench Stepping Maximal Exercise Tests is the

and why

Answer 14

• Least desirable modality for
  max exercise testing

This is why:

• Unequal distribution of work
• Hard to standardize workload; differences in the following:
  - Step height; Stepping cadence;
  - Body mass; Leg length

Question 15

Concentric Muscle action takes more muscle action than

Answer 15

eccentric muscle action

Question 16

Bench Stepping Maximal Exercise Tests

increase intensity with

Answer 16

• Faster stepping cadence
• Increased step height

Question 17

Recumbent Stepper Maximal Exercise Test uses what equitment and protocol

Answer 17

• NuStep TRS 4000
• GXT protocol
• Lower HRmax and VO2 max than treadmill because of seated posture

As long as BP and Heart rate are responding well

Question 18

Submaximal Exercise Test Protocols are used to……..

Answer 18

estimate VO2max

HR max determination is important:

HR-based extrapolation to
APHR (Age predicted Heart Rate Max) max and VO 2max

Extrapolate

Question 19

IMPORTANT
Submaximal Exercise Test Protocol Assumptions

Answer 19

Assumptions:

1. Steady-state HR attained and
   maintained at each stage
2. Linear relationship: HR and VO2
   (between 110 and 150 bpm)
3. Mechanical efficiency constant for
   everyone (output/input)
4. HR max is similar for all of same age

Question 20

RPE

Standard (Borg)

OMNI

Answer 20

Standard (Borg):
Scales: 6-20 & 0-10

OMNI
Scale: 0-10, pictures

Question 21

Treadmill Sub-maximal Exercise Tests Stages - 2

Answer 21

1) Multistage Model

2) Single-stage model

Question 22

Treadmill Sub-maximal Exercise Tests Stage

Multistage Model

Answer 22

• Need two stages with HR 115 - 150 Determine slope and extrapolate to APHR max

Question 23

Treadmill Sub-maximal Exercise Tests Stage

Single-stage mode

Answer 23

Single-stage model
Need one stage with HR 130 – 150 bpm

Question 24

Cycling Sub-maximal Exercise Test for

Multistage Model

and

Single Stage Model

Answer 24

Multistage model -

Need two consecutive stages
with steady-state HRs between
110 bpm and 85% APHRmax

Single-stage model -

Need one stage with steady-state
HR between 130 and 150 bpm
