- cold and clammy skin
RELATIVE Contraindications to STOP Exercise:
- Failure of _______ to increase with increasing exercise intensity.
- Change in heart _______.
- Patient request.
- Severe fatigue.
- Failure of testing equipment.
- Ventricular aneurysm.
- HR
- heart rhythm
“No exercise testing required before walking, flexibility, or resistance training. Follow ACSM guidelines for exercise testing before _______-________ ________ exercise training.”
-mod-vig aerobic
Submaximal Exercise Test:
- Patient achieves a predetermined _________ exertional level and then test is stopped.
- May be symptom limited or have a predetermined end point (___% HRmax).
- These tests tend to be ______, ________ protocol.
- No expired gas analysis performed.
- VO2max OR VO2peak is typically _________ from the results of the test
- submaximal
- 85% HRmax
- ramped, progressive protocol
- extrapolated
PART 2: BRUCE PROTOCOL & 6MWT
PART 2: BRUCE PROTOCOL & 6MWT
- What is the Bruce Protocol?
- Is it a direct indicator of VO2max?
- The Bruce Protocol is a standard test in cardiology and is comprised of multiple exercise stages of three minutes each.
- No, but we can ESTIMATE peak VO2.
What information can we derive from the Bruce Protocol Test if expired gases are not analyzed? (4)
- ) Stage completed
- ) Exercise duration
- ) HR/RPE/Dyspnea at FIXED WORK LOADS (each stage = a fixed work load)
- ) Estimated VO2max
What are (3) methods to estimate age specific HR?
Traditional Method
-220-age
Tanaka Method
-207-(0.7*age)
Inbar Method
-205.8-(0.685*age)
