ACSM Clinical Exercise
Physiologist Exam Questions
With Expert Verified Solutions
Gold std for diagnosing cardiac issues
Cardiac catheterization
ST segment elevation vs depression
Elevation: Myocardial infarction
Depression: ischemia
2 cases when you should not do a regular exsc stress test:
- Client uses Beta Agonist
- Client uses dipyridamole (a vasodilator)
What BP level contraindicated during exsc test
250/115
Patient w/ CAD will exhibit what symptom relating to HR and BP
after EXSC?
VERY slow to return to resting levels
Primary cause of type 2! diabetes?
Inflammation
,S/S of diabetes mellitus:
Polydipsia (thirst)
Polyuria (urination)
Polyphagia (hunger)
Which diabetic medications is contraindicated for exercise?
Insulin (if exercising at peak insulin effect)
When programming EXSC for clinical population, what variables
should be progressed first?
Frequency, then duration, then intensity
Athero: Thickening (Via damage to media of BV being patched by
LDL cholesterol)
Arterio: Stiffening (vascular remodeling due to high BP,
inflammation and hyperglycemia)
*When adjusting intensity, duration should be dropped back to
baseline
Primary cause of obesity
Hypercaloric Diet
Obesity BMI classifications
>30 = OBESE
30-34=mild
34-39=moderate
>40=morbid
waist circumference
> 40 Males
>35 Females
, INCREASED RISK
What type of adiposity is most inflammatory?
Central (visceral) adiposity
Observational: we learn by watching others model behavior (and
have expectations as to their benefits from engaging in said
behavior)
Self-Efficacy: confidence of performing a specific behavior
Managing emotional arousal:
- Cognitive restructuring: thinking about the problem in a
constructive way
Vicarious reinforcement: Seeing other people benefit from a
certain behavior
Common Cardiovascular Medications
B-Blockers: hypertension, angina
- acebutolol, atenolol, botaxolol, carvedilol, nadalol
Ace Inhibit: Hypertension, CAD
- Benazepril, captopril, enalapril
