Submaximal Exercise Flashcards
(13 cards)
1
Q
Purpose
A
- Describing aerobic fitness
- Prediction of VO2 max based on HR response at a given power
2
Q
Compared to maximal exercise testing:
A
- Lower cost
- Less expertise for the experimenter
- Increased subject comfortability
- Decreased level of specificity required
3
Q
Requirements for Modified Astrand Ryhming Nomogram
A
- Sex
- Weight
- Post-test HR
4
Q
YMCA Ergometer Test
A
- Total of 4 stages (each 3 minutes)
- 50 rpm speed
- Begin at 0.5 kg resistance
5
Q
Goal of the YMCA Ergometer Test
A
The subject should reach 85% of their APHR max
6
Q
APHR max calculation
A
- 220- age
- 0.85*^
7
Q
Termination criteria for Ergometer Test
A
- Onset of angina
- Significant drop in SBP
- Failure of SBP to rise with increased intensity
- Subject requests to stop
- Failure of testing equipment
8
Q
Does cycling above 50 RPM overestimate or underestimate VO2 prediction?
A
Overestimate
9
Q
Modified Harvard Step Test
A
- Originally designed as a maximal test, but was modified to be submaximal
- 90 BPM on metronome
- 5 minutes total
10
Q
Men Step Inches
A
15.5
11
Q
Women Step Inches
A
13
12
Q
Plotting
A
- HR under 110 should not be used
- Plot the other HR based on workload
- Draw a horizontal line at the top (HR Max)
- Draw a line through the first and last point
- Draw a vertical line that intersects where the diagonal line touches the horizontal
13
Q
Axises
A
- X: workload (kgm/min) and VO2 max (L/min)
- Y: HR on both sides
- Workload: increase by 150
- VO2 max: start at 0.6 and increase by 0.3
- HR: increase by 10
