Screening Methods

Question 1

photoplethysmograph

Answer 1

detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. uses light like a camera

Question 2

microvascular

Answer 2

arterioles, capillaries, and venules

Question 3

peripheral circulation

Answer 3

circulation in the outer parts of the heart and body: arms, legs, and feet

Question 4

ANS Assessment (challenge-breathing and standing)

Answer 4

cardiac autonomic reflex test

Question 5

Valsalva ratio

Answer 5

the maximum heart rate generated by the Valsalva maneuver divided by the lowest heart rate occurring within 30 s of the peak heart rate.

Question 6

Valsalva maneuver

Answer 6

breathing method that may slow your heart when it’s beating too fast. To do it, you breathe out strongly through your mouth while holding your nose tightly closed. This creates a forceful strain that can trigger your heart to react and go back into normal rhythm

Question 7

methods used in a screening

Answer 7

blood pressure monitor, plates and electrodes, oximeter, ans assessment

Question 8

patients or clients

Answer 8

clients

Question 9

diagnosis or deviation?

Answer 9

deviation from optimal health

Question 10

Wellness Index

Answer 10

is an index of the thirty biomarkers we measure in the screening. If a person has a
tumour, they can still have a great wellness index. In that case they have great physiological forces that
could help them combat the tumour together with their doctors.

Question 11

HRV

Answer 11

heart rate variability. High HRV= healthy, fit, and well rested heart

Question 12

Fitness Biomarkers

Answer 12

Cardiovascular fitness, performance capacity, exercise recovery index

Question 13

cardiovascular fitness

Answer 13

the measure of variation between two heart beats. Will decrease if overtraining.

Question 14

performance capacity

Answer 14

your capacity to be physical active for a longer time. -the same as VO2 compared to HRV-best measured during exercise

Question 15

exercise recovery index

Answer 15

ability to recovery after exercise or high activity

Question 16

VO2

Answer 16

Volume of Oxygen

Question 17

Muscle mass

Answer 17

Strength exercise can counteract osteoporosis, increase metabolism, improve sensitivity to insulin, lower blood pressure, increase Cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and improve oxygen uptake. Muscles also increase the amount of growth hormone and testosterone.

Question 18

Fat mass

Answer 18

If someone eat too much and are not physical active, not burn the stored energy, they will store energy as fat
mass. Furthermore, the fat mass can increase with stress, an underactive thyroid, and insulin resistance.

Question 19

pH regulation index

Answer 19

If decreased – say that your client may be in the lower end when it comes to pH value, little
more acid. If it is increased it could be cause of dehydration, not alkaline.

Question 20

Blood oxygen Saturation

Answer 20

if decreased:
Lung problem: below 90 % that could be considered
Anemia – Iron, Folic acid, B12, cupper or vitamin C.
