Measuring Endurance

Question 1

Types of endurance

Answer 1

1. Cardiorespiratory
2. Muscular
3. Functional
4. Physiologic

Question 2

Cardiovascular Endurance

Answer 2

the ability of the heart, lungs & blood vessels to deliver O2 to the muscles to allow for sustained movement
- crucial for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the working muscles, where it’s used to produce energy

Question 3

Physiologic Endurance

Answer 3

the body’s capacity to sustain physical activity for an extended period due to factors like oxygen delivery, muscle efficiency, & metabolic processes

• can be considered a subset of cardiovascualr endurance

Question 4

Cardiorespiratory Endurance Measures

Answer 4

• VO 2 max testing
• Submaximal Exercise test (Stress Test)
• 6 MWT
• 2 MWT
• Seated step test
• Shuttle test

Question 5

Physiologic Endurance Measure

Answer 5

Heart rate: resting, peak, recovery
Blood Pressure: Resting vs. Exercise
Respiratory Rate & O2 saturation
Recovery Time: Return to Baseline
Distance & time of activity: How far did the patient go and what type of activity
RPE sujective response of exercise intensity that is correlated w/ physiological parameters (ie. HR & O2)

Question 6

Normal Physiologic response to exercise

Answer 6

Expect:
Increase in – HR, BP, RR
“slight” or no increase in O2 (if drops ask patient to breathe)

Do not expect:
Decrease in: SBP or HR

Question 7

Functional Endurance

Answer 7

ability to maintain a specific activity or task for a prolonged period

• Emphasizes exercises that involve multiple muscle groups & joints working together (mirroring movements found in everyday activities)

Question 8

Activity Tolerance

Answer 8

The ability, energy, physiologic capacity, personal factors

Question 9

Functional Endurance Tests

Answer 9

• 30 second chair stand
• 5x sit to stand test
• TUG

Question 10

What is there a strong correlation with for RPE ?

Answer 10

Heart Rate
