18
Q

How to clean and prepare skin for electrodes

A
  1. remove hair to ensure electrode is touching skin
  2. use solvent to clean area of oils (if done right skin will be irritated)
19
Q

Explain the locations of the limb leads

A
  1. in the little fossa of the clavicle & pectoral muscle
    (easily found when arm is raised)
  2. Above iliac crest
    (vertical line from the crest to the horizontal line from the bellybutton meet)
20
Q

What to do when the person has excess fat

A

Stomach- find skinniest spot closest to correct spot
Breast- needs to be off of tissue completely

21
Q

Tips to ensure leads are attached to the right electrodes

A
  1. find base of wires and walk it out
  2. wires are most times color coated & initialed
  3. Limbs are Christmas colors & middle is ROYGBIV (orange is second to last)
22
Q

What is the purpose of the Submax Treadmill Test & how to terminate it?

A

Assess fitness level & predict the VO2Max
Go over 85% of their HRR

23
Q

How to calculate VO2Max for the SMTT & GET

A
  • B= (SM2-SM1)+ (HR2-HR1)
    VO2Max=SM2+b(HRMax-HR2)
    SM1 & SM2 are the workloads that go with HR
    HR1 & HR2 are the first and second HR that is plotted
  • It is the last minute that the patient completed
24
Q

What is the purpose of the Graded Exercise Test & when to terminate?

A

To screen for significant cardiovascular disease
when the person has gone to max or cant go any further

25
Q

What are the responsibilities of the ECG Tech?

A

They monitor quality & record HR, BP & ECG (also print)

26
Q

What are the responsibilities of the BP Tech?

A

They communicate, prep the patient and record BP

27
Q

What is the Isometric Procedure

A

1-RM test of the forearm muscles
It tests grip strength

28
Q

What is the Isometric Procedure?

A

Squeeze the hand grip as hard as possible
Hold it at the side three times each hand for 30s
To score sum the best of each hand

29
Q

Why are some of the tests imperfect?

A

If the person is strong it will be a test of endurance and if the person is strong it will be a test of maximal strength

30
Q

Fat Mass Formula

A

%Body Fat x Body Weight

31
Q

Fat free Mass Formula

A

BW-FM

32
Q

Ideal Body Weight formula

A

FFM/1-IBF%

33
Q

What is the difference between waist and abdomen?

A

Waist is the smallest part of the torso between the iliac crest and the ribs
Abdomen is along the belly button
