Q

Is exercise always safe?

A

There is an increased risk of sudden cardiac death during vigorous exercise
- But, this risk is much lower among those who are regularly active
- Overall risk is low when weighed against benefits of exercise
Risk of cardiac events during exercise testing in mixed subject population
- 6 per 10,000 maximal tests due to MI (heart attack), dysrhythmia, or death
For submaximal testing, the risk is extremely low

o Possible injuries: smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol
• Step 2: Platelets rush in and begin to aggregate (over years) start to form and form slowly
• Step 3: Smooth muscle cells being proliferating (purple layer start to form on top)
• Step 4: Cell necrosis (cells die) and the rupture of the plaque
o All the plaque contents dump out and could possibly obstruct the entire vessel, causing a thrombus

48

85
Q

What are the steps to using the target heart rate calculation equation?

A
  1. Estimate your Max HR, 220-age = MHR
  2. Measure your Rest HR (RHR)
  3. Subtract your RHR from your MHR = Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)
