final Flashcards
general process for initial client consult
-pre-consult prep (welcome packet)
-greeting
-go through “welcome packet” with client (PAR-Q+, pre-exercise screening forms, informed consent, client-trainer “contract”)
-goals
-assessments
-review & next steps
purpose of screening forms
-reduce risk of unwanted events occurring during an exercise program
-ID those with contradictions for physical activity
-ID those who should receive medical/physical evals before exercise programs
-ID those who should participate in medically supervised exercise program
-ID those with other health/medical concerns
what to include in welcome packet
-informed consent
-physical activity readiness questionnaire plus (PAR-Q+)
-medical history
-pre-participation screening health/lifestyle questionnarire
-client trainer contract
PAR-Q+ assesses
does this person need medical clearance
health history/pre-activity screening includes
-medical diagnosis
-prior physical exam results
-symptoms
-recent illnesses, surgeries, or hospitalizations
-orthopedic concerns
-medications
-family medical history
-current and previous exercise experience
-missing: attitudes, confidence, current injuries, emotions towards exercise, barriers
informed consent
explains purpose of exercise or test/assessment
-include possible risks and benefits
-participant can stop at any time
-participant responsible for providing accurate medical info
address any questions
maintain confidentiality
when should informed consent be completed
first, before any exercise or test
medical clearance
-needed for those at high risk for unwanted events during participation in an exercise program
-based on current level of physical activity, known CMR disease, and signs or symptoms of CMR disease
Cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal (CMR) disease
-myocardial infarction
-heart surgery, cardiac catheterization, coronary angioplasty
-pacemaker
-heart value disease
-heart failure or transplant
-congenital heart disease
-type 1 or 2 diabetes
-renal disease
signs and symptoms of CMR
-angina (chest pain)
-dyspnea (SOB at rest)
-syncope (fainting/dizziness)
-orthopnea (trouble breathing when lying down)
-ankle edema
-palpations and tachycardia (skip beat/odd rhythm or fast beating)
-intermittent claudication (severe calf pain when walking/standing)
-heart murmurs (unusual sounds when beating)
-unusual fatigue or shortness of breath during light exertion/normal activity
classification for being physically active
-engaging in 30+ minutes of moderate intensity PA 3+ days/week within last 3 months
moderate PA
-40-60% HRR or VO2Max
-3-6 METs
-12-13 PRE
ACSM’s Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
-1 or less FR=low risk for future CVD or CV event
-2 or more RF= increased risk for future CVD or CV event
-look at what factors are modifiable vs. nonmodifiable RF
age risk factor defining criteria
Men over 45, women over 55
family history risk factor defining criteria
heart attack, bypass surgery, sudden death before 55 for father/brother or before 65 for mother/sister
cigarette smoking risk factor defining criteria
current smoker, or have quit less than 6 months, or is exposed to environmental smoke
sedentary lifestyle risk factor defining criteria
not participating in moderate physical activity at least 3 days/week or for 3 months
obesity risk factor defining criteria
body mass index greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 or waist girth 40 in+ in men or 35 in + in women
hypertension risk factor defining criteria
systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg or diastolic over 80 mmHg or taking medication
dyslipidemia
LDL>130 mg/dl, HDL <40 mg/dl, or taking medication, or TC >200 mg/dl
pre-diabetes risk factor defining criteria
FPG> or = 126mg/dL or OGTT. or = 200 mg/dL or HbA1C > or = 6.5%
negative risk factor of CVD
HDL > or = 60 mg/dl
strategies for communication
-verbal vs non verbal communication
-active listening
-motivational interviewing
-consider open vs closed questions
motivational interviewing
empathy
ID discrepancies
support self efficacy
avoid arguments
adjust to resistance
assessment order
-resting HR
-resting BP
-body composition
-movement assessments
-cardiorespiratory fitness
-muscular fitness
-flexibility
body composition assessment
height
weight
BMI
circumference/girth
waist:hip ratio
skin folds (abdomen, triceps, chest, midaxillary, subscapular, suprailiac, thigh)
bioelectrical impedance
CRF
ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate-high intensity exercise for prolongs periods of time
pretest CRF considerations
-no eating for 4 hours before
-no exercise within 24 hours
-no caffeine within 12-24 hours
-no nicotine use within 3 hours
-no alcohol use within 24 hours
-consider meds
-field tests are submax to near max
CRF assessments
-1 mile walk test
-1.5 mile or 12 minute jog/run
-queens college step test
-YMCA step test
indications for test termination
-angina
-abnormal BP responses
-shortness of breath, wheezing, leg cramps or claudication
-signs of poor perfusion
-failure of HR to increase
-change in heart rhythm
-client requests to stop
-severe fatigue
-failure of test equipment
muscular strength
1 rep max tests (ex: bench press)
muscular endurance
muscles do X amount of work over X time (push up tests, curl up tests)
