training clients with asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease Flashcards
special populations
subgroups of the general population that present with certain acute or chronic conditions that require specialized or adjusted training methods or programs
common examples of special populations
diseased individuals
obese
pregnant
children
older adults
for clients with pre-existing disorders, -__ is often recommended before initiating physical activity
medical referral
asthma
chronic, inflammatory pulmonary disorder that causes bronchospasm and is characterized by hyper-irritability or a reversible obstruction of the airways
exercise induced asthma
narrowing of the airways in the lungs in response to strenuous physical exertion
exercise and asthma: the condition is induced by several mechanisms including
allergens, chemical irritants, smoke and pollutants, cold air
general recommendations for asthmatics
- Evaluate the training environment for common asthma triggers
- Employ longer warm-up and cool down periods to
acclimate the body to changing physiological conditions - Swimming, cycling, and walking are less likely than running to trigger an event
- Participating in sports that use stop-and-go activities (e.g., tennis, volleyball, and basketball) are less likely to trigger ElA when compared to long, continuous activity
- High-intensity exercise triggers ElA more often than moderate-intensity exercise; intensities of 60-80% HRR are recommended when prescribing aerobic training
- Steady-state endurance training is less likely than intervals to trigger a response
- Encourage controlled nasal breathing whenever possible
- Maintain appropriate medications on site and have an emergency plan
diabetes
characterized by high blood glucose levels due to sugar regulation impairment within the body
type 1 diabetes
autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of antibodies that attack the islet cells of the pancreas; reduces or stops insulin production
type 2 diabetes
characterized by insulin insensitivity and beta cell dysfunction in later stages
type 2 diabetes caused by several mechanisms including
genetic predisposition, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet
benefits of exercise on diabetes
- improved insulin sensitivity and glucose control
- improved blood lipid profile
- reduced visceral fat storage
- improved cardiovascular and muscular fitness
- reduced risk for cardiovascular/peripheral vascular disease, heart attack, stroke
- improved quality of life
when aerobic and weight training is employed in a circuit fashion, positive adaptations on ____, ____, ____ and ____ are observed
glucose control, insulin action, muscular strength, exercise tolerance
additional screening criteria used to determine risk for injury or complications among diabetics include
age >35
obesity >25 years
presence of type 1 diabetes>15 years
presence of type 2 diabetes >10 years
presence of additional risk factors for HD
presence of microvascular disease, including retinopathy and nephorpathy
peripheral vascular disease
autonomic neruropathy
general recommendations for type 1 diabetics:
avoid exercise if fasting glucose levels are
> 200 mg/dl and ketosis is present
general recommendations for type 1 diabetics:
use caution if fasting glucose levels are
> 300 mg/dl without ketones
general recommendations for type 1 diabetics:
monitor blood glucose before and after exercise and identify
when changes to food or insulin are needed
general recommendations for type 1 diabetics:
use carbohydrates to avoid
hypoglycemia
general recommendations for type 1 diabetics:
pay close attention to signs of
fatigue and metabolic shifts during exercise
general recommendations for type 2 diabetics:
perform regular PA ___
most days
general recommendations for type 2 diabetics:
focus on
caloric expenditure and weight loss
general recommendations for type 2 diabetics:
initiate exercise with
appropriate acclimation periods
general recommendations for type 2 diabetics: work up to aerobic intensities of ____% HRR
60-80
general recommendations for type 2 diabetics:
modify exercise for
microvascular complications
retinopathy
small vessel disease of the eyes
retinopathy: avoid exercises that
produce high BP, particularly high-intensity compressive RT (ex leg press)
retinopathy: do not use activities that
lower the head below the waist (yoga)
retinopathy: do not use activities that may jar
the head, plyometrics
nephropathy
small vessel disease of the kidneys
nephropathy: avoid moderate to heavy
weightlifting
nephropathy: avoid high intensity
aerobic
nephropathy: avoid holding
breath during exercise
nephropathy: maintain adequate
hydration
peripheral neuropathy
small vessel disease of nerve tissue
peripheral neuropathy: avoid exercise that causes
pounding/repetitive stress to feet
