Question 1

Endurance Training parameters for chronic heart failure patients?

Answer 1

2-3x per week

Start with 2 weeks of training at 40-50% of VO2max

Interval: 4x4min at 80-90% of VO2max (17-18 Borg), active rest at 40-50% of VO2max (12-13 Borg)

Endurance: Gradual increase from 50-80% of VO2max

VO2max below 17.5ml/kg/min? –> 2x 15min interval per day

VO2max above 17.5ml/kg/min? 1x 20-30min

Question 2

Strength Training parameters for chronic heart failure patients?

Answer 2

2-3x per week

Pre-Training: 2 weeks, 2-3sets, 10reps, <30% of 1RM (10RM)

Training: 2-3 sets, 10-15reps, 40-65% of 1RM (10RM)

Question 3

Exercise therapy is for which classes of heart failure patients?

Answer 3

NYHA class II-III

Question 4

What needs to be kept in mind for coronary heart disease patients concerning training after CABG?

Answer 4

No upper limp training for 6-8 weeks post surgery

Question 5

Endurance Training parameters for COPD patients?

Answer 5

3-4x per week (training stage)
1-2x per week (maintenance stage)

Interval: 85-100% of max workload, 30-60sec on, 1-2min off

Endurance: 60-80% of max workload, min. for 10min

Question 6

Strength Training parameters for COPD patients?

Answer 6

2-3x per week

60-80% of 1RM

2-5sets, 8-15reps, 2min breaks

Question 7

Respiratory muscle training for COPD patients?

Answer 7

when goal is to reduce dyspnea

when interval or endurance training is impossible

5x per week (training stage)

3-4x per week (maintenance stage)

1-2x per day

30-50% of PI max

30 breaths per session (approx. 5min)
rest after 10 breaths is possible

1sec in, 2-3sec out

Question 10

NYHA class 3 for heart failure?

Answer 10

VO2max 10-15 mL/kg/min

MET 3-4

Wattage 30-60

Question 11
