Q

Why do you choose max vs submax exercise testing?

A

Most can’t handle max, also look at why you’re doing it. Just gotta see how hard they’re working or don’t have equipment

Q

RER looks at? How do you know when you’re anaerobic?

A

RER- co2 to O2. As you approach 1, you’re reaching max level. Below one its. Fats and carbs, 1 or higher is mainly glucose (anaerobic threshold)

23
Q

General Guidelines - Before exercise testing? (3) Then? Choose a test how?

Study These Flashcards
A

Avoid recent activity

Wait 2 hours after eating

2 hours after smoking or caffeine (can affect HR)

Repeat tests – 2nd test more accurate

Choose a test that relates to the training you will select for the patient

24
Q

6 Minute Walk Test uses? Prescribe exercise how? Determine? When is home O2 indicated?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Regression equations for calculating VO2 and distance walked

Prescribe exercise by estimating VO2 Max/Peak

Determine the need for supplemental O2
- If O2

25
6 Minute Walk Test predicts what in elderly? COPD? CHF? >200 m?
``` - Elderly Predicts VO2 max - COPD Predicts VO2 max, need for transplant - CHF Predicts VO2 max, mortality, need for transplant - mortality/hospitalization ```
26
(Rockport) 1 Mile Walk Test looks at? (5)
- Weight: pounds - Age: years - Gender: 0 for female, 1 for male - Time: mile walk time in minutes - HR: at end of test (during last ¼ mile –should be > 120 if given good effort)
27
1 Mile Jog- must tke at least? Hr must be Looks at? (4)
- 8-9 mins | -
28
1 Mile Walk/Run looks at? (5) More for?
- VO2 peak - Time in minutes - Age in years - Gender: female 0, male 1 - BMI: kg/m2 - youth, young adults
29
Walk Velocity Test - setup?
Set up ramp up and ramp down distance (1m, 3m), then time how long it takes to walk a set distance (6m, 10m, etc)
30
Community ambulation requires? Cross an intersection?
NOTE: Community ambulation requires 50-122 cm/sec or 0.5-1.22 m/sec NOTE: Need to walk at over 0.8 – 1.22 m/sec to cross an intersection
31
Step Tests - estimate? Compare? Tests? (3)
Estimate VO2 max from direct HR response after stepping up/down step (heights vary test to test) within specified time frame or at set frequency Compare HR response to norms to give idea of fitness Astrand-Rhyming (has a nomogram to determine VO2max) 3-minute YMCA Step Test Harvard Step Test
32
Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) = ? (2) VO2 Peak fomula? How do you get MET level? When would you use this?
- DASI – sums of weights for ‘yes’ replies - Self administered questionnaire - VO2 Peak = (0.43 X DASI) + 9.6 - Divide VO2/3.5 to get MET level of activity - Unstable and too weak
33
Measures of Aerobic Capacity - formula for MET? VO2? Avg adult has what MET tolerance? If VO2
MET = VO2/3.5 VO2 = MET level x 3.5 Average adult has 10 MET level activity tolerance (VO2 approximately 35 mL/kg/min) If VO2
34
Goals for Exercise Training? (5)
Increase Activity Tolerance Increase Function Increase Quality of life Central hemodynamic adaptations Peripheral adaptations to exercise
35
Benefits of exercise? (12)
``` Decrease body weight Decrease type II diabetes Decrease cholesterol Increase HDL Improve overall endurance (VO2 ) Higher anaerobic threshold Higher functional capacity Greater independence Decrease some cancers Decrease depression Decrease osteoporosis Decrease risk for CAD, Heart dz, stroke, MI ```
36
Factors to Consider When Designing an Exercise Program? (5)
Exercise goals Primary and secondary medical dx Medications Physical condition at baseline Activity preferences/personal goals
37
Essential Components of Exercise Prescription - MOde =? Focus on? Frequency =? How many? Intensity = ? How much for pulm pts? Duration = ? ACSM rec?
Mode – type of exercise Focus on large mm groups Frequency – # days per week the exercise will be performed to achieve goal 5 days or MOST days of the week! Intensity – % of maximum capacity ACSM: 50% for most pulmonary patients AACVPR: 40% for most pulmonary patients Duration – time required for exercise on a given day Much controversy, ACSM recommends 30 min
38
Mode - Try to match? Three other things you should consider?
the exercise prescription with your patient’s interests and goals Principle of specificity Overload principle Reversiblity
39
Target HR = ? Used for? Not necessarily? HR max = ?
Target HR = (exercise intensity %)(HRmax) used for younger, healthy people NOT necessarily a good method for a clinical population! HR max = 208 - .7 x age
40
% Heart Rate Reserve Method (Karvonen): Target HR = ? HR max can be?
(ex. intensity %)(HR max - HR rest) + (HR rest) HR max can be from an exercise test or estimated
41
% VO2 Reserve Method: Target VO2 = ?
(ex. intensity %)(VO2 max - VO2 rest) + (VO2 rest) VO2 rest = 3.5 mL O2/kg/min (1 MET)
42
What intensity do you choose - take into consideration? (8) Intensities for endurance, weight loss, and deconditioned individuals?
Take into consideration Age, habitual physical activity level, physical fitness level, health status Cardiopulmonary Endurance 70-85% HRmax Weight loss 55-65% HRmax Deconditioned Individuals 40-50% HRR or 55-65% HRmax
43
Training Window for Pulmonary Patients - When may the patient reach their ventilatory threshold? AACVPR recs?
- 50-60% - AACVPR recommends 40%-59% for individuals with pulmonary dysfunction in order to keep intensity below the ventilatory threshold
44
Rate of Perceived Exertion rec? ACSM rec for physiologic adaptation?
Recommend 11-13 rating ‘light to somewhat hard’ for initial exercise prescription ACSM recommends 12-16 for physiologic adaptation to exercise
45
Stages of an Exercise Session and times? (4)
Warm up: 5-10 min Conditioning phase: 20-60 min Cool-down: 5-10 min Recovery: Time to return to baseline
46
Cool down is for?
Improvement of venous return, which can reduce HTN and dizziness
47
Types of Aerobic Training - Long, slow distance (LSD) = ? Test intensity with?
- ~70% VO2max or 80% max HR | - Test intensity with the “talk test”
48
Types of Aerobic Training - Pace/Tempo (Lactate Threshold Training) = ? Interval? Repetition? Fatlek?
``` - Pace/Tempo (Lactate Threshold Training) Steady pace ex for 20-30 min - Interval 3-5 min with work: rest ratio 1:1 - Repetition 30-90 sec with work: rest ratio 1:5 - Fartlek Combo of all of above ```
49
Examples of 3-6 MET Activities?
3: walking 2.5 mph 4: biking
50
Strength Training - focus on? Use? Avoid?
Focus on low weight, high rep for endurance training Use baseline 10 rep max test vs. 1 rep max due to risk of injury Avoid valsalva to prevent vasovagal response
51
What would you want to train in SCI? COPD?
- abs | - accessory and arm mm
52
Flexibility - min? Ideally?
Minimal 2-3 d/wk Ideally 5-7 d/wk
