Physical activity Flashcards
What percentage of adults are physically active
39%
Who would require an exercise stress test with ECG
> 40 years
> 30 years with tyoe 1 dm, type 2 diabetes for longer than 10 years, htn, smoker, dyslipidemia
Proliferative retinopathy, nephropathy or microalbuminurea
CAD, cerebrovascular disease, PAD, autonomic neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease
What do exercise programs need in design?
Intensity, duration, frequency, mode, appropriate progression
Describe warm up
5-10 minutes of alow activiry to gradually increase heart rate, blood flow, body temp, oxygen availability and breathing
Decribe benefits of cool down
Prevent blood flow from pooling in extremities, removes metabolic byproducts
Is it recommended for asymptomatic persons at low risk for CAD to get a stress test?
No
Describe intensity exercise regimen
Moderate to vigorous
55-90% age adjusted max heart rate
40-85% max oxygen uptake or heart rate reserve
Describe duration for exercise regimen
150 min per wk wth no less than 10 min per session
Describe frequency of exercise regimen
Spread over 3 nonconsecutive days per week
No more than 2 consecutive days of inactivity
5 days per week most effective
Exercise intensity of ___ to ___ of HRR (heart rate reserve)
40-85% which translates to 55-95% of max heart rate
True or false:
Exercise performed at low levels (60% max heart rate
True
What effects can vigorous exercise have on blood pressure and blood sugar
Transient hyperglycemia and rise in systolic blood pressure
Formula for HHR (heart rate reserve)
Max HR - resting HR
Formula for percent HRR
HRR x percent intensity
Formula for % HR max
Max HR x percentage intensity
