Term
What are the 4 aspects of exercise prescription
Definition
Intensity
Duration
Frequency
Mode(s)
Term
- Decreased risk of CVD with mild intensity walking
- Conservative limit is 40% of the HR reserve
- HRR = max HR - resting HR
- Max HR can be determined in the lab or estimated
- Estimated max HR: 220-age in years
- Formula underestimates the max HR in the elderly
Definition
Intensity
Term
What is the formula for heart rate reserve?
Definition
HRR = maxHR - restingHR
Term
Mortality related to max intensity is how many METs?
Definition
7
Term
High enough to increase exercise tolerance, VO2 max. Low enough to be safe.
Definition
Prudently Aggressive
Term
Is it difficult or easy to prescribe intensity for low risk or high risk patients?
Definition
Easy
Term
Is it easy or difficult to prescribe intensity for moderate risk pts?
Definition
Difficult
Term
What is the target HR formula?
Definition
Target HR = (MHR-RHR)(%)+RHR
Term
The percent of HR reserve plus resting. Takes the resting HR into account.
Definition
Karvonen Method of target HR
Term
Examples of 50 yo prescription at 70%
Definition
APMHR = 220-50 = 170
HRR = 170-70(resting) = 100
70% of 100+70 = 140
Term
A simple percentage is 170 x 0.70 = 119

Whats wrong with this method?
Definition
Too conservative
Resting HR is not considered
Increase in HR of only 49
Term
If Karvonen = 140 what does this tell us?
Definition
Increase in HR of 70 bpm
Term
Heart rate by target heart rate
70% of age-predicted max HR
Progressing to 85%-90%
Definition
Low Risk
Term
Target HR based on SLHR
-Exercise-induced ischemia
-Exercise-induced arrhythmias
-Exercise-induced abnormal hemodynamics
-Rate-pressure product at exercise induced angina
-Begin at low % of HRR based on S-L max
-Progress from 40-85%
-Use subjective evidence and experience to progress intensity
Definition
Moderate Risk
Term
-Close supervision
-Telemetry
-Emergency equipment
-Primary goal: increase functional capacity (producing peripheral changes)
-40% of symptom-limited max
-Usually in the range of 100-120 bpm
Definition
High Risk
Term
Give an example of a high risk pt
Definition
Resting HR = 100
Symptom-limited max = 140
HRR = 40
40 * .4 + 100 = 116
Term
5 components of prescription by METs
Definition
1. Tables for diff activities
2. Prescribing home exercise for low risk individuals
3. Add variety for low risk pts
4. To restrict activities to safe MET level for mod to high risk
5. Exercise of mod and high risk pts must be structured
Term
4 components of prescription by RPE
Definition
1. low risk, not mod or high risk
2. Reason: Unable to self monitor HR, use of beta blockers, heart transplant, pacemaker
3. 12 to 13 (somewhat hard) for lower limit
4. 16 (hard) for upper limit
Term
Slows down the heart so it can contract better
Definition
beta blockers
Term
Why does a heart transplant matter with RPE?
Definition
Nerve to the heart have been cut so it will not respond to exercise correctly
Term
3 components under frequency and duration.
Definition
1. Three sessions of aerobic activity at least 20 minutes long each week at the proper intensity
2. Person exercising to control blood glucose (same "dose" of exercise every day)
3. Sliding scale of intensity, duration and frequency (low fitness level should be short and more frequent whereas a high fitness level should be longer and less frequent)
Term
<3 METs
Definition
Multiple short sessions
Non realistic for outpatient
Term
3-5 METs
Definition
1-2 daily sessions
not realistic for outpatient
Term
>5 METs
Definition
3-5 sessions per week
More typical of phases II, III, and IV progression. Decent for outpatient. Minimum of 3 times a week
Term
How long should warm-up stretching last. This includes active ROM or light stretching and slow walking.
Definition
5-10 min
Term
How long should aerobic activity last?
Definition
15-60 min
Term
During tx session, how long should the cool down last. This includes a slow walk or an unloaded bicycle ergometer
Definition
5-10 min
Term
What are 7 aerobic exercise modes
Definition
-Walking/jogging/running
-Cycling
-Swimming
-Skating
-Aerobics/Stepping
-Rowing
-Less aerobic activities include games with intermittent running
Term
Name 3 components of strengthening
Definition
1. Cannot avoid resistive activity
2. Can avoid straining with heavy resistance
3. Component of exercise prescription only in low risk pts
Term
Name 4 types of resistance exercises
Definition
1. Weight lifting
2. Isokinetic devices
3. Medicine balls
4. Movement of body weight at a mechanical disadvantage
Term
What 5 things would make a pt a poor candidate for strengthening?
Definition
1. Unstable angine
2. Uncontrolled HTN
3. Uncontrolled arrhythmias
4. CHF
5. Functional capcity less than 6-7 METs
Term
6 guidelines for stengthening
Definition
1. low resistance initially (30% of one rep max)
2. Increase reps
3. Start with large ms groups
4. Progress to small ms
5. Even, rhythmic lifting and lowering
6. Avoid valsalva maneuver
