exercise testing Flashcards
in exercise testing assesment what systems are involved
pulmonary cardiovascular hematopoietic neurophysiological skeletal muscle system
indications of exercise testing
assessing response to therapies
diagnosis
exercise perscription
assessment of functional exercise therapy
metabolic measurements consist of
heart rate
blood pressure
ecg
arterial blood gases
what scales are used to monitor dyspnea and leg fatigue
visual analogue scale and borg scale
what type of exercise can be applied in cardiopulmonary exercise training
treadmill
bicycle ergonometer
disadvantages of submaximal tests
cant measure aerobic capacities
results are calculated by prediction
failure to observe abnormal responses likely to occur at intensities above the termination point
disadvantages of maximal tests
longer test time
effort dependent
requires further oversight by the therapist
increased risk for complication
cpet protocols is divieded into
progressive workload test
stable workload test
progressive workload test is divided into
incremental test and ramp test
features of progressive workload test
aimed to reach the maximal workload level that the tested individual can tolerate
lasts 8-12 minutes
provides diagnostic information
has a three minute resting phase
features of the stable workload tests
rest and warmup phase are followed by an exercise phase with a moderate workload
this test is used for the evaluation of treatment responses
should be set to 50-70 perc of the maximal workload achived in the progressive workload test before the test
a sub maximal exercise test used to asses aerobic capacity and endurance is
6 minute walk test
how long should the 6 minute walk test go on for people with chronic lung disease
30 minutes
purpose for the incremental shuttle walk test
externally
paced, incremental field walking test to assess the functional capacity i npatients with chronic airways obstruction.
the incremental shuttle walk test is accompanied by
endurance shuttle walk test
what is endurance shuttle walk test
is a constant-load exercise test which measures the
ability of the participant to sustain a given sub-maximal exercise capacity
eswt and iswt both asses what kind of exercise
functional and endurance
anaerobic exercise testing include
vertical jump test
mergeria kalamen power test
anaerobic power step test
wingate biscycle test
vertical jump features
done in 3 sets
test is lower body power
the jumping height is recorded
using one or both hands to jump as high as possible
features of the margaria kalamen power test or stair climb
its a short duration test for athelets
it measures thier strength and power of the lower extremities
the athlete runs up a stairs of 9
atleast 7 inches high
he starts from the bottom and runs up the stairs three at a tim e
soo he steps on the thrid, sixth and nineth stairs
the interval btw the atheletes placementof the foot on the third and nineth stairs is recoreded
Metabolic measurements used in cpet
Heart rate
Ecg
Blood pressure
Arterial blood gasses
