23
Q

when evaluating CR fitness, we use relative/absolute VO2

A

relative

24
Q

the older an individual gets…lower/higher VO2

A

lower

25
Q

what must we do before we start testing

A

estimate maximal HR

26
Q

HR max equation

A

220 - age

27
Q

what is the only thing that chronically affects maximal HR

A

age

28
Q

exam question- if someone has bad balanace, which mode should they use

A

cycle ergometry

29
Q

when would we use arm ergometry

A

lower limb disability patients

30
Q

a-VO2 difference graph

A

plateau around 40-60% max effort

31
Q

SV graph

A

plateau around 40-60% max effort

32
Q

MAP graph

A

linear increase entire time

33
Q

DBP graph

A

stays the same

34
Q

SBP graph

A

linear increase

35
Q

when would a submaximal test be terminated

A

if it reaches 85% client’s HR max
-because no longer submax

36
Q

assumptions for submaximal testing

A

-linear relationship between HR + VO2 between 110-150 bpm

-HR from 2 workloads can be plotted against VO2 + used to extrapolate HR max; HR max is then used to estimate VO2 max

-HR max is similar for individuals of similar age

-steady state HR can be achieved in 3-4 min at the same workload

-equal mechanical efficiency for everyone at a given workload; same caloric expenditure + same absolute oxygen requirements

37
Q

what plateaus at 40-60%

A

SV
-after that, only HR will affect VO2

38
Q

general procedures for submaximal testing

A

-obtain resting HR + BP immediately before exercise in the exercising posture
-client should be familiarized with equipment being used
-2-3 min warm up
-HR should be monitored for each stage of exercise + should be at steady state
-steady state = within 5 bpm
-BP should be measured once per stage
-RPE should be monitored
-appropriate cool down should be initiated
-all physiological measurements should be continued for 5 min after test stops

39
Q

maximal testing

A

goes to volitional fatigue

40
Q

max or submax tests are more accurate

A

max

41
Q

if VO2 max isn’t reached…

A

we hit a peak

42
Q

PRIMARY criteria for determining if individual hit a VO2 max

A

plateau in VO2 with an increased intensity <150 mL/min

43
Q

if primary criteria for determining if individual hit a VO2 max isn’t reached…

A

2 of the criteria below must be reached to be considered a max

-post-exercise blood lactate > 8 mmol/L
-RER > 1.15
-reach max HR (220-age) +/- 10bpm
-RPE > 17

44
Q

RER

A

respiratory exchange ratio

45
Q

RER is ratio of what

A

CO2 produced/O2 consumed

46
Q

what does RER tell us

A

indication of substrate use
-aka what macronutrient we are using

47
Q

nomogram

A

indirect estimate of VO2 max

48
Q

regression equations

A

indirect estimate of VO2 max

49
Q

graded test

A

fitness test that uses multiple stages of increasing intensity to measure or estimate CR fitness

50
Q

single stage protocol

A

client exercises at 1 intensity + then the CR fitness is estimated from their performance

51
Q

can single stage protocol be for a max test

A

NO- only submax

52
Q

majority of metaolic carts used for VO2 analysis are open/closed-circuit spirometry

A

open
-including the Parvo-medic cart used in lab

53
Q

**be able to do graphing method for FRQ
