PART 1
PART 1
What is the difference between physical activity and exercise?
Physical Activity
-A broad term used to describe all forms of large muscle movements including sports, dance, games, work, lifestyle activities, and exercise for fitness.
Exercise
-Any activity designed to develop or hone a skill or ability. Physical activity intended to improve strength, fitness and specific athletic skill or skills.
Do physical activity and exercise share a common goal?
Yes, improvements in strength and aerobic capacity, flexibility and improved functional capacity. Will lead to increased QOL.
What are the (2) types of exercise?
- Aerobic Exercise (Reconditioning)
- Anaerobic (Resistance Training)
PART 2: AEROBIC EXERCISE
PART 2: AEROBIC EXERCISE
What (4) things does aerobic exercise help enhance?
- pulmonary performance
- cardiac performance
- blood flow
- ability to extract/utilize delivered O2
- What is an indirect assessment of aerobic capacity?
- What does this mean?
- VO2 max
- There is a point where oxygen consumption plateaus despite increase in exercise intensity.
Reaching VO2max:
- RER > ____
- Leveling off of ____________ despite increasing work load.
- Elevated _______ levels
- Achievement of ______
- > 1.15
- O2 consumption
- lactate levels
- HRmax
VO2max:
- What is it?
- Best indicator of ____ fitness and _______ endurance.
- Is it the gold standard for determining cardiorespiratory fitness?
- Refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise.
- CV fitness and aerobic endurance
- Yes
What are some other names for VO2max?
- maximal oxygen consumption
- maximal oxygen uptake
- maximal aerobic capacity
What are some factors that influence VO2max? (6)
- Gender
- Family Hx
- Age
- Body composition
- Training status
- Altitude
What are some tests to assess submaximal exercise capacity? (5)
- 6MWT
- Fixed work load tests
- Submaximal treadmill test (pre set HR, symptom limited)
- Step test
- Cycling test
What are some other methods to assess submaximal exercise?
- Questionnaires
- Weekly Activity Levels
- Wearables***
What are some things that we can do with an estimate of VO2 peak? (4)
- Describe the maximal aerobic capacity/maximal fitness status of an individual!!
- Use it to write exercise prescription.
- Use it to demonstrate improvement in exercise capacity associated with reconditioning (PT!!!)
- Develop treatment goals
CV Exercise can be beneficial _________ and ________.
physically and mentally
