Question 16

Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis criteria?

Answer 16

Fasting blood glucose > 126 two times

Question 17

Exercise heart rate for stable angina?

Answer 17

At least 10 BPM below ischemic threshold.

Question 18

Action of beta blockers?

Answer 18

HR and BP lower, less contractile force.

Lowers MVO2.

Question 19

Effect of beta blockers on exercise?

Answer 19

Lowers resting and exercise HR
Lowers resting and exercise BP
Increases exercise capacity in anginal pts.

Question 20

Benefits of calcium channel blockers (CCBs)?

Answer 20

Coronary and systemic vasodilation

Group 1 slows SA and AV conduction (non-dihydropyradines).

Question 21

Group I CCBs (n-DHPs) effect on exercise:

Answer 21

Lowers resting and exercise HR
Lowers resting and exercise BP
Increases exercise capacity in anginal pts.

Question 22

Group II CCBs (DHPs) effect on exercise:

Answer 22

Lowers resting and exercise BP

Increases exercise capacity in anginal pts.

Question 23

Definition of exercise:

Answer 23

Planned, structured and repetitive bodily movement to improve or maintain one or more components of physical exercise.

Question 24

Cardiorespiratory fitness

Answer 24

Ability to absorb, transport and use oxygen
Related to the ability to perform large muscle, continuous moderate-high intensity exercise for prolonged periods of time.

Question 25

VO2 is a function of: (3)

Answer 25

HR
SV
arterial-venous oxygen differential

Question 26

VO2 formula?

Answer 26

VO2 = HR * SV * (a-v)O2 diff

Question 27

Characteristics of aerobic exercise: (4)

Answer 27

O2 supply meets demand
Fat main fuel source
Moderate intensity exercise
Oxidative metabolism dominant

Question 28

Characteristics of anaerobic exercise: (4)

Answer 28

O2 demand exceeds supply
Glucose main fuel source
Strenuous or high intensity exercise
Non-oxidative, immediate metabolism dominant

Question 29

Cardiovascular adaptations to regular aerobic exercise:

Answer 29

Lower resting and submax HR
Lower resting and submax systolic BP
Higher submax and max SV
Higher a/v O2 differential
Higher Max VO2
Lower submax MVO2

Question 30

Benefits of exercise specific to CVD

Answer 30

Increases ischemic threshold for onset of symptoms (angina, ST depression, etc.)

Question 31

When to supplement COPD with O2?

Answer 31

When O2 saturation falls below 88%.

Question 32

Components of physical fitness: (5)

Answer 32

Body composition
Flexibility
Muscular endurance
Muscular strength
Cardiovascular fitness
