Normal - <120/<80
Prehypertension - 120-139/80-89
What are the stages of
Stage 1- 140-159/90-99
BP?
Stage 2 - > 160/100
Hypertensive crisis >180/110
Normal: increase in HR depending on what type of
Describe the normal and
exercise
abnormal HR response to
Abnormal: sudden increase in HR, increase in HR with
exercise
no increase in CO
Normal: increase in systolic BP and a slight increase in
Describe the normal and
diastolic BP
abnormal BP response to
Abnormal: no increase in BP, severe hypotension post
exercise
exercise, large increase in DBP
What is mean arterial Average pressure in arteries during one cardiac cycle
pressure? (65-110)
Green - right lower ribs
White - right inferior to clavicle
5 lead EKG Black - left inferior to clavicle
Red - left lower ribs

QRS complex - ventricular
depolarization
P - atrial depolarization
What are the segments of
T - ventricular repolarization
the EKG?
ST segment - time between
ventricular depolarization and
repolarization
- Arm (midpoint between acromian and olecranon)
- Waist (midpoint of iliac crest and ribs)
What are the 5
- Hip (furthest protrusion of glutes)
circumference points?
- Thigh (midpoint of inguinal crease and patella)
- Calf (furthest protrusion)
Pros: accurate for leaner subjects, multiple equations
for different populations
Describe the pros and Cons: high rate of user error, taking repeated
cons of skinfold measurements can increase error, can be impacted by
measurements physical activity (level of water in muscles)/
environment (cold/hot weather), shouldn't be used for
obese clients

Measure skinfolds on right side of body at eye level
Lift fold 1 cm above desired site, place calipers
directly over desired site
Describe skinfold
Position calipers perpendicular to site of
protocol
measurement
Administer 2 trials within 1mm
Measure skinfolds in rotational order
DO NOT REMOVE FINGERS PINCHING WHILE
MEASURING
- Tricep (midpoint of acromian and olecranon)
- Bicep (belly of bicep)
- Scapula (3cm inferior)
What are the 7 skinfold
- Waist (3cm superior of iliac crest)
sites?
- Stomach (3cm lateral and 1cm inferior of belly)

Describe the pros and Pros: easy to use, fairly reliable, quick results
cons of bioelectrical Cons: can be impacted by client age, water level,
impedance cannot be used with people with pacemakers
Pros: very reliable, can highlight fat distribution
Describe the pros and
Cons: movement may disrupt image, expensive,
cons of DEXA
exposure to radiation
