VIVA Peter (65) Flashcards
Teach an appropriate push (or pull) resistance exercise.
Seated overhead press (dumbbell)
* sit on bench feet flat on ground hip width apart
* sit up with straight back and core engaged
* bring dumbbells and rest on thighs
* bring dumbbells to shoulder height with palms facing forward, elbows slightly in front of your body
* make sure you feel stable
* breath in, on exhale press dumbbells straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended but not locked
* think about keeping your shoulders down away from your ears when you press
* slowly lower back down into starting position with an inhale
* inhale as you lower and exhale as you press up
Explain to the examiner the most suitable initial loading parameters (reps, sets, loading RPE, reps in reserve, frequency) for this resistance exercise (ie safety, competency, novice, intermediate, experienced). Base this on his clinical presentation.
Based on 410 met score. Max HR 220-age(65)=155
Warm-up
8-12 reps
2-3 sets
RPE 3-4
5-7 RIR
3 minutes rest
2 - 3 times a week as tolerated
What are the blood pressure and heart rate responses Peter will experience with these exercises and how does his medications affect these responses?
- Monitor BP as a drop after ex is expected
- Upper limb training has a bigger effect on BP
- Medications may blunt his BP and HR rise
- Percieved exertion may not match his BP and HR response to exercise
