Q

CV Response to UE exertion?

A

· Valsalva maneuver is more likely to occur (increasing intra-thoracic pressure for stability)
· UE = smaller muscle mass so more of the body is not exercising thus experiencing a greater amount of vasoconstriction

A

· Breakdown of carbs into pyruvate
· Inverse relationship between duration and intensity
1) Fast glycolysis (anaerobic):
- short to medium term
- moderate to high intensity activities
- 1 glucose molecule produces 2 ATP
2) Slow glycolysis (aerobic) :
- medium to long term
- low to moderate intensity activities
- 1 glucose molecule produces 39 ATP

42
Q

Oxidative System

A

· Long term, low intensity
· Can breakdown fat cells which produce the largest volume of energy over long duration

43
Q

3) Structural
- axial load
- ex: back squat where axial load is applied on the spine vis the barbell
4) Power
- rate of force development
- ex: hang clean, kettlebell swing, plyometrics

47
Q

OKC vs CKC

A

· OKC- distal limb free and trunk/proximal limb is fixed, origin fixed while insertion moves
ex: Bench press, pec major origin stays still while the insertion moves closer to the origin on the way down and away from the origin on the way up
· CKC- distal limb fixed and trunk/proximal limb is free to move, insertion is fixed while origin moves
-ex: push up

48
Q

Is using a TB for PF/DF exercise considered weight-bearing across the tibia?

A

No, there is compressive loading but it is not due to weight bearing

49
Q

If a patient is showing improvements in performance in a short period of time, what is that most likely a result of?

A

· Improved NM efficiency or NM performance (better timing, pattern, recruitment)
· NOT a result hypertrophy or strength bc those take much longer to occur

50
Q

What changes occur quicker in response to resistance training, NM or MSK?

A

NM

51
Q

Graded Exercise Test (GXT)

A

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET or CPX) with progressively increasing workloads that follow specific protocols

52
Q

Field Tests

A

Submaximal tests that involve modalities that are more accessible in a clinical setting (ex: 1.5 mile run/walk test, 6 MWT, step tests)

53
Q

Maximal vs Submaximal Test

A

· Maximal: requires maximal effort to the point of volitional fatigue
· Submaximal: NO volitional fatigue required, purpose is to determine HR responses to submax work rates

54
Q

What is the relationship between O2 uptake and work load?

A

O2 increases with work load at the same rate

55
Q

Risk Stratification (predicted risk for for clinical populations with known CVD during exercise)

A

· Categories (low, moderate, high) are based on presence and type of arrhythmias, EF, and baseline symptoms
* Type of symptoms and type of disease are very important

56
Q

For individuals with CAD, what can rate-pressure product (RPP) indicate?

A

· It can indicate myocardial ischemia
· RPP can be used to guide future treatments by not allowing patients to go beyond that threshold and thus avoid an ischemic events

57
Q

What happens when there is a decrease in RPP (ex: 20000) ? (Normal values at peak exercise are 25,000 - 40000)

A

A decreased threshold means symptom onset occurs sooner do to increased O2 demand

58
Q

Why is an active cool down important for BP?

A

A sudden stop in exercise may cause a drop in BP do to venous pooling thus an active cool down may help prevent this

59
Q

Bruce Protocol vs. Naughton Protocol (Incremental Exercise Tests)

A

· Bruce Protocol: incremental increase in BOTH speed and grade at each stage (3min stages)
* Better at assessing intensity
· Naughton Protocol: increase in only grade at each stage (2min stages)

60
