44
Q

What are some examples of metabolic disorders?

A

Diabetes and thyroid disorder

45
Q

What is the main function of the thyroid

A

The thyroid secretes hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine

These hormones increase oxygen consumption and heat production

Hyperthyroidism= more of these hormones

Hypothyroidism= less of these hormones

46
Q

What are Beta Blockers?

A

A medication (antihypertensives) which block the affects of epinephrine and norepinephrine, thus reducing heart rate

Can’t use HR to monitor intensity; must use RPE

47

Lower BP and May affect heart rate

48
Q

ACE Inhibitors

A

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors

They lower bp at rest and during exercise

49
Q

Prescribed to treat hypertension

50
Q

Diuretics

A

Increase excretion of water and electrolytes for people retaining fluid, as occurs with congestive heart failure

51
Q

Brochiodilators

A

Asthma medications that open air passages in the lungs

Increase exercise capacity for people who experience bronchiospasms

52
Q

What are the effects of cold medication

A

Decongestants stimulate vasoconstriction which might result in raised blood pressure and increased heart rate

53
Q

What is the purpose of conducting a physiological assessment at the beginning of the trainer-client relationship?

A

Identify areas of health/injury risk for potential referral to the appropriate health professionals

Collect baseline data that can be used to develop personalized fitness programs and allow for comparisons of future evaluations

Educate client about his or her present physical condition and health risks by comparing their results or normative data for age and gender

Motivate client by helping them establish realistic goals

54
Q

When might it not be appropriate to conduct a physiological health assessment?

A

When the client could be embarrassed about their current condition

Note: A health risk appraisal is always necessary pre-participation

55
Q

What does a physiological assessment generally include?

A

Resting vital signs (HR, BP, height, lbs)

Static Posture and Movement Screens

Joint Flexibility and muscle length

Balance and Core Function

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Body Composition

Muscular Endurance & Strength

Skill-related Parameters (agility, power, coordination)

56
Q

When should a Trainer perform the physiological assessment?

A

After the initial rapport-building stage:

  • Identify Client’s Personality
  • Identify readiness to change behavior
  • Identify Stage of Behavioral Change
  • Identify Client General Goals
  • Conduct Physical Assessment
57
Q

When conducting a physiological assessment, what are some signs and symptoms that would merit immediate termination of the assessment?

A
  1. Angina; Uncomfortable pressure in the chest
  2. Significant drop (more than 10mmHG) in SBP despite an increase in exercise intensity
  3. Excessive rise in BP (greater than 250mmHG SBP or greater than 115 mmHG DBP
  4. Fatigue, shortness of breath, difficult or labored breathing, wheezing
  5. Lightheadedness, paleness, nausea, dizziness, confusion
  6. Leg cramping or claudication
58
Q

How can a Trainer be professional and prepared prior to conducting a physiological assessment of a client?

A
  1. Giving client instructions prior to assessment (what to eat, wear, hydration, abstaining from stimulants)
  2. Obtaining a signed informed consent from the client and ask of the client has any questions about it
  3. Organization of all forms and tables
  4. Communication and demonstration of skills; clearly explaining the test and it’s sequence
  5. Calibration of all exercise equipment
  6. Environmental control (room temperature between 68•-72•F with relative humidity below 60%….environmental should be private to reduce testing anxiety
  7. Being prepared for emergencies (exits, first aid equipment)
59
Q

Why do cardiovascularly fit people have a lower resting heart rate?

A

One of the cardiovascular adaptations the body makes is it increases stroke volume thus lowering HR

60
Q

What are some factors that influence Resting Heart Rate?

A
  1. Caffeine
  2. Fitness Levels
  3. Fatigue
  4. Body composition
  5. Drugs/medication/alcohol
  6. Stress
61
Q

Females: 72-80 BPM

62
Q

What are some factors that increase resting HR?

A

Drugs, stimulants, sitting upright as opposed to lying down, digestion

63
Q

What are some factors that result in a lower blood pressure?

A

Exercise, weight loss, sodium restriction, smoking cessation, stress management

64
Q

How do men and women perceive exertion differently?

A

Men: Tend to underestimate exertion

Women: Tend to overestimate exertion

65
Q

When should the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion be used?

A

Only when an HR is needed; even then it can be inaccurate because of factors such as medications

15 point scale (from 6-20)

6 = 60bpm
12 = 120 bpm
20 = 200 bpm
66
Q

How do conditioned clients under-estimate their RPE?

A

If they’re focused on muscular tension rather than cardio respiratory effect then they might under-rate their exercise intensity

67
Q

What is the Exercise Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI) ?

A

The EFI quantifies the clients emotions related to exercise. It’s basically taking inventory of how they feel about exercise following the session.

Can and should be used periodically to promote positive feelings associated with exercise and thus ADHERENCE

68
Q

How is the EFI used to promote adherence?

A
  1. Administer during the initial interview regarding past experiences
  2. Use it every other session for the first 2 weeks
  3. Taper off (to account for desensitization)
  4. Readminister when program changes
  5. Track sub scales over a period of 4-6 weeks to create of graph showing how clients feelings towards exercise improves and perceived exhaustion decreases
69
Q

After all this is said and done, what is the basic order of initiating a new client?

A
  1. Get to know the client and build rapport (trust) using appropriate communication and interviewing techniques
  2. Conduct a thorough health assessment utilizing appropriate health risk appraisals and risk stratifications to ensure the client is mentally and physically prepared to begin their fitness journey
  3. Measure HR and BP to further clarify the health status of the client
  4. Perceive the clients thoughts and feelings towards exercise, and tailor a balanced fitness program that will meet the client’s specific wants and needs
