CCRP Exercise Training questions with
answers
What is the rate of continuation for those who start a cardiac rehab exercise program or any
other type of behavioral change, irrespective of initial health status or type - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔half or less of
The drop out rate is higher in the first 3 months
What is the biggest predictor for a patient to participate in cardiac rehab? - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔the fervor of the primary physicians'
recommendation or referring physician appears to be one of the most
powerful predictors of the patient's participation in
exercise, especially if a baseline fitness assessment
and an exercise prescription are provided at the
point of care.
True of False
The amount of exercise needed to improve health is the same as the amount of exercise
needed to improve cardio system - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔False- You actually need
more exercise to improve your heart, you can see health benefits from the addition of small
amounts of exercise
True or False
lifestyle
intervention, including at least 150 minutes of
physical activity per week, was even more effective
than pharmacologic treatment, in reducing the
,incidence of Type 2 diabetes. - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔TRUE! Diabetes Prevention
Study
Name three tools that can be used to encourage the addition of physical activity and exercise
into a cardiac rehab participant's lifestyle - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Activity Pyramid,
pedometers and accelerometers may assist clients
in tracking their daily activities and facilitate exercise
Besides watts what is another unit that can be used on the bike to determine workload? - **
VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔kilopond-meters per min−1 (kpm/min)
How should a bike seat be set up? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔At the ideal
seat height the knee should be slightly flexed at full
extension.
Physiological responses to
exercise on a cycle ergometer differ from those
obtained on a treadmill. How much lower is the max oxygen uptake? - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔Physiological responses to
exercise on a cycle ergometer differ from those
obtained on a treadmill. Moreover, maximum oxygen
uptake is 5% to 20% lower than on the treadmill.
How should an arm bike be set up? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔seated in the upright
position, with
the fulcrum of the handle adjusted at shoulder height
and the arm should be slightly bent at the elbow
during farthest extension movements
, What is the range for RPM on the arm bike? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔60 - 75
Comparing arm bikes to leg exercises: oxygen uptake, HR & BP response - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔Oxygen uptake during any equivalent submaximal
level (eg, 50 W) of arm work exceeds that of leg
work. Accordingly, the rates of increase of heart rate
and blood pressure responses during arm ergometry
are more rapid. Other physiological responses to
dynamic arm exercise, eg, stroke volume and
diastolic blood pressure, also differ from those of leg
How often should a treadmill or arm cycle used in stress testing be calibrated? - **
VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Monthly or sooner
What is the equation to make sure treadmill MPH displayed are accurate - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔the actual miles per hour calculated by:
Belt length (inches) x number of revolutions/min divided by
1056
(1056 = conversion of inches per minute to miles per
hour)
How often should treadmills be serviced? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔1000 hours of use
How you do check the calibration on a mechanically-braked cycle ergometer? - **
VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔To check the calibration on a mechanically-braked
cycle ergometer, the belt should be removed from
the wheel. The mark on the pendulum weight should
