Quiz #2 Flashcards
Maximal oxygen consumed per unit of time
- Relative: mL/Kg/min
VO2 max
Reflects the ability of the lungs, blood, heart, muscles, and other organs to transport and utilize O2
VO2 max
VO2 max different tests
- Depends largely on test natures, risk level of the patient, equipment and personnel
- Direct measurement
- Indirect measurement
VO2 max different tests:
Reach fatigue and exhaustion
“true” VO2 max
VO2 max different tests:
Estimation of VO2 max via sub-maximal tests
Indirect measurement
VO2 max - measures O2 and CO2
- Pros: most accurate means
- Cons: Lab/clinical setting, expensive equipment, specialized personnel
Direct measurement
VO2 max indirect measurement
- submaximal test why?
safety consideration
VO2 max indirect measurement
- submaximal test
– Uses the _ under submaximal work rates to _ VO2 max
- HR responses
- predict
VO2 max indirect measurement
- submaximal test
– Recommend among _ patients
chronic disease
VO2 max indirect submaximal tests
- Cycle ergometer test
- treadmill test
- step test
VO2 max submaximal test measures
- HR: _ pulse
- 2nd & 3rd fingers locate on radial artery
- _ x _
- radial
- 15sec x 4
Test termination criteria
- onset of angina or angina-like symptoms
- Excessive rise in BP
- Failure of HR to increase with increased exercise intensity
- shortness of breath, wheezing, leg cramps
VO2 max field tests:
- VO2 max (mL/Kg/min) = 3.5 + 483/min of the mile time
1.5 mile run/walk
VO2 max field tests:
- VO2 max (mL/Kg/min) = distance in meters - 504.9)/44.73
12-min walk/run
VO2 max other step tests based on recovery HR
Queens college step test
4 general principles of Exercise Prescription (Ex Rx)
- Decrease sedentary time; increase physical activity
- Health-related physical fitness (HRPF) should be addressed
- A variety of exercise performed as part of daily living
- Individually tailed exercise
