clinical exercise physiology uses Answer: physical activity and exercise to prevent or delay the
onset of chronic disease in healthy individuals
clinical exercise physiology provides Answer: therapeutic or functional benefits to individuals
with disease conditions or physical disabilities
clinical exercise physiology requires Answer: an understanding of how the body responds to
acute and chronic physical activity and exercise in both healthy and diseased conditions
clinical exercise physiology duties and responsibilities Answer: − conducting pre-exercise
screening
− performing exercise testing and evaluation
− developing exercise prescriptions
−instructing individuals in proper training techniques
− supervising exercise programs in various settings
exercise testing and evaluation Answer: helps clarify individuals for safe participation in
physical activity and exercise
diagnostic testing Answer: helps assess the presence of cardiovascular or pulmonary disease
functional capacity Answer: helps assess an individual's capacity to participate in physical
activity and exercise
diagnostic testing measures Answer: heart rate, electrical activity of the heart, and blood
pressure
functional capacity testing can be used to Answer: prescribe an appropriate physical activity and
exercise program to improve fitness
functional capacity testing is measured with Answer: submaximal or maximal exercise test

, graded exercise tests (GXT) Answer: exercise intensity gradually increases from light to
maximal exertion or to a pre-determined ending point
graded exercise tests (GXT) is used in what type of testing? Answer: both diagnostic and
functional capacity testing
pretesting procedures
- screening for health risks Answer: it is very important to determine whether physical activity,
exercise, and exercise testing are appropriate for an individual
§The level of risk for an individual must be determined __ administering a diagnostic or
functional capacity testing and starting an exercise program Answer: BEFORE
pretesting procedures
- physical examination Answer: certain individuals who are physically inactive and have
multiple risk factors for disease require a physician's referral BEFORE exercise testing and/or
exercise program
pretesting procedures
- health status Answer: PAR-Q+
PAR-Q+ can help identify Answer: - medical contraindications
- clinically significant conditions
- symptoms and risk factors for a disease
- special needs
pretesting procedures
- informed consent Answer: aprocess whereby the individual participating in the exercise test is
aware of and understands the purposes, risks, and benefits associated with the test or exercise
program
performing the test
- heart rate for healthy individuals Answer: electronic heart rate monitors
