Quiz 2 Flashcards
Prevention of CVD: positive risk factors and negative risk factors
- Positive: age, family, history, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus
- Negative: high HDL cholesterol
Positive risk factors mean the increase likelihood of getting cardiovasc
Modifiable risk factors vs nonmodifiable
- modifiable: dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and cigarette smoking
- nonmodifiable: age, sex, family history
Life Simple 7 Factors that assess and support healthy lifestyle changes to have ideal cardiovascular health:
- Manage BP
- Control cholesterol
- Reduce blood sugar
- Get active
- Eat better
- Lose weight
- Stop smoking
Improving safety for Patients during testing
- Monitor participants for changes
- minimum of a 2-3 month transitional phase
- proper warm-ups and cool-downs
- educate paricipants on warning signs and symptoms
- delay vigorous intensity PAs until they have gained sufficient physical fitness
Exercise testing
regular PA and exercise programs that increase physical fitness and have a strong relation to health
- fundamental goal= primary and secondary prevention and rehabilitation programs to promote health
exercise programs should focus on health-related components of physical fitness
Health-related fitness components
- cardiorespiratory endurance
- body composition
- muscular strength
- muscular endurance
- flexibility
Purpose of exercise testing
Info from exercise testing and medical and health history are helpful for=
- baseline data and info about present health/fitness status/ health-related standards for age, sex norms
- individualized exercise programs depending on health and fitness components
- follow-up data for short and long-term progress from exercise prescription
- motivation (establishes realistic health/fitness goals)
Pre-test
- informed consent
- pre-screening evaluation (medical clearance for exercise?)
- risk stratification-risk assessment
Test preparation
- documents, forms, questionnaires ready
- equipment on and calibrated
- room temp stable (68-72F/ 20-22C) and less thatn 60% humidity with airflow
- consider sequence of testing (what are you gonna do firtst)
- First = resting measurements
- let HR and BP return to baseline in between tests
- Note time of day, body positions for measurements, nutrition, meds taken before testing (same parameters in subsequent sessions)
Typical comprehensive health/fitness assessment
- informed consent, pre-participation screeingin, and risk evaluation
- resting measurements
- circumference/ body comp. analysis
- cardiorespiratory fitness assessment
- muscular fitness
- flexibility assessment
- additional assessment (balance)
aftewards: data collection, results, interpretation, assess individuality, assess short/long term goals, plan exercise prescription, and follow-up assessments
Heart Rate Measurement
Palpation (2 fingers or stethoscope) on arteries:
- carotid
- brachial
- radial
- chest (5th intercostal)
- femoral
- popliteal fossa
- dorsalis pedis
- abdominal
count for 30 or 60 seconds or 6 seconds
heart rate monitor- dampened for best signal
ECG
Blood Pressure Measurement
- seated quietly for 5 min (feet flat, arm at heart level)
- Can have both supine and standing measurements
- wrap cuff firmly around upper arm at heart level, align cuff with brachial artery
- Appropriate cuff size
- place stethoschope ches piece below antecubital space over brachial artery
- inflate to above 120
- slowly release pressure at 2-3mmHg/sec
- SBP is point where first sound is heard (Korotkoff sound), DBP is point where sound disappears
- at least 2 measurements should be taken 1 min apart - average taken
- BP measured in both arms on first examination (higher bP used)
- Tell patient and write down ther numbers and associated goals
What is oxygen uptake?
Volume of O2 consumed per minute (ml of O2/min)
Rate of oxygen utilization (how much O2 being consumed in relation to metabolism, how is body responding to increased energy expenditure)
Measured with direct calorimetry or indirect calorimetry
Direct Calorimetry
Measurement unit of energy = calorie
How much energy does food give us?
How much energy did we use?
Measuring air in room we can see the amount fo heat generated by the body in a large space
1 calore= amount of energy required to raise temp of 1ml of water by 1 degree C
Indirect Calorimetry
Measures of gas exchanges, type and rate of changes in substrate utilization and energy metabolism
Close-circuit spirometry - uses a spirometer around person’s mouth, 100% oxygen chamber/ closed-circuit (continual supply of environment)
Open circuit spiromentry- inspire room air (or contion: hypoxia/ hyperoxia), spirometer, computer assessment
