Modes Of Testing Flashcards
What is the purpose of exercise testing
Defined the maximum capacity of the cardiovascular system and the bodies physiological response to stress
Why are exercise test most often performed on treadmill
Because it is familiar to most people and it uses a large amount of muscle mass
Using an arm ergometer at what is with your VO to Max be
About 66%
What is a negative with faster speeds
Some people can’t turn her legs over fast enough
What is a disadvantage with steeper grades
Welcome muscular fatigue your tibialis anterior kills
What is a positive of cycle ergometry
Can be used with overweight people and it provides a true measure of mechanical power
Force is measured in kilograms and newtons and power is measured in watts and kilogram meters per minute
B
What is the blood pressure response compared to upper body aerobic exercise and to lower body exercise
Blood pressure is higher during upper body aerobic exercise because the venous return is not as good
What is pharmacological stress testing
Not exercise stress testing and which exercises not needed but we give them dobutamine to stimulate an increase in heart rate
What is nuclear stress testing
We inject transfers into the blood to help identify infarcted regions during rest and exercise which may be done pharmacologically as well
What is the criteria for aerobic exercise
Significant amount of muscle mass recruited rhythmic movement pattern and prolonged in duration
What is a mode of exercise
A type of exercise
