Q

why does the measurement of exercise or post exercise HR responses to submaximal work load help estimate maximal aerobic capacity?

23
Q

predictive VO2 max regression equations are derived from actually measuring

A

VO2 max in large numbers of subjects and the information from these subjects are used to develop an equation based on multiple regression model

24
Q

standard error of the estimate (SEE)

A

the error in estimations
describes how far off, on average, the predicted value is from the actual value

25
Q

if the SEE of a certain VO2 max prediction is 5 mL/kg/min and predicted VO2 max is 40 mL/kg/min, what is the likelihood of the VO2 max

A

between 35 and 45 mL/kg/min

40 +/- 5

26
Q

the most useful prediction equations have a _____ SEE

A

smaller

27
Q

three assumptions that contribute to the SEE

A

1) linearity of the HR-VO2 relationship
2) Similar max HR’s based on age
3) constant exercise economy

28
Q

what effects the slope of the HR-VO2 relationship

A

emotion, hydration, O2 drift, temp, diet, etc

29
Q

what is the standard deviation for the average max HR of individuals of the same age

A

+/- 10 bpm

30
Q

what does predicted VO2 max depend on

A

the O2 cost of certain work rates

31
Q

what are other factors that effect exercise economy

A

cadence and test modality

32
Q

VO2 max predictions based on submaximal HR have an SEE of

A

+/- 5 mL/kg/min

33
Q

improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness are dependent on

A

proper frequency, duration, and intensity of exercise

34
Q

what is the prescription for developing and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness according to American College of Sports Medicine

A

exercise 3-5 days per week for 20-60 min at 50-85% VO2 reserve

35
Q

VO2 reserve

A

describes the actual physiological range of O2 consumption for an individual

36
Q

how to calculate VO2 reserve

A

taking the difference between resting VO2 and VO2 max

VO2max-VO2rest

37
Q

Heart rate reserve (HRR)

A

same concept as VO2R

HRmax-HRrest

38
Q

when exercise intensities are set based on VO2R, the percent values are approximately equal to

A

%HRR

39
Q

what are the two methods used to account for variability in fitness

A

VO2R and HRR

40
Q

what is commonly thought of of the more accurate method for prescribing intensities and why

A

because someone’s 50% HRmax may not mean VO2max is 50% and because HRR and VO2R are coupled over an entire range of exercises, many think that HRR is more accurate

41
Q

how are target VO2R and HRR determined

A

by multiplying desired exercise intensity by the reserve, and adding the resting value

targetVO2R= exercise intensity x VO2R (or HRR) + VO2 rest

42
Q

MET

A

another way of expressing exercise intensity by using metabolic equivalents
a unit used to reflect one’s normalized RMR (i.e. resting O2 consumption)

43
Q

1 MET =

A

3.5 mL/kg/min

44
Q

when using METs, exercise intensity is expressed in

A

multiples of the estimated RMR

45
Q

why are METS a good way of expressing exercise intensity

A

because the MET system is relatively simple and theoretically easier to understand and remember in comparison to HR or VO2 values

46
Q

describe the test done in lab 6

A

HR extrapolation:
3 groups
submaximal HR extrapolation on treadmill or ergometer (greater than 120 bpm but less than 85% max predicted HR) * must be steady state HR
exercise at work rate = 120 bpm
then exercise at work rate <85% max predicted HR

Step test recovery HR:
22 step ups/min for females
24 step ups/min for males
3 minutes total, rest for 5 seconds, measure HR 15 seconds afterwards
multiply 15 sec HR by 4 to calculate recovery HR

47
Q

what is essential to maintain physical fitness and health in adults

A

a program of regular exercise that includes cardiorespiratory resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercise training beyond activities of daily living

48
Q

what other than physical activity may reduce incidence of CHD

A

educating adults on signs and symptoms of CHD and gradual progression of exercise

49
Q

ACSM recommends

A

large muscle mass groups
3-5 days/week
20-60 min
moderate and or vigorous exercise

50
Q

why estimate VO2 max?

A

1) prescription (intensity and supervision)
2) direct measurement of VO2 max not always possible

51
Q

two ways to predict VO2max

A

1) Non exercise equations
