✔✔Muscular Strength - ✔✔the amount of force your muscles can exert
✔✔Muscular Endurance - ✔✔the ability of your muscles to perform physical tasks over
a period of time without tiring
✔✔Muscular Power - ✔✔amount of work performed by muscles in a given period of
time (1RM max)
✔✔What systolic BP is an indication to stop treatment? - ✔✔>250 mmHg
✔✔Rate Pressure Product (RPP) - ✔✔An estimate of the myocardial oxygen
consumption, calculated as the product of heart (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP)
✔✔What exercise program/considerations would you give someone with
balance/mobility considerations - ✔✔1. Progressive difficult postures that gradually
reduce the base of support (eg. two --> one legged stance).
2. Dynamic movements that perturb the center of gravity (tandem walk).
3. Stressing postural muscle groups (toe stands).
4. Reducing sensory input (standing with eyes closed).
5. tai chi
✔✔What are 4 examples of submaximal exercise protocols - ✔✔1. mCAFT
2. Ebbeling treadmill test
3. YMCA cycle ergometer test
4. Rockport 1 mile walk test
✔✔At what HR should a workout be at? - ✔✔Equivalent to approximately 20-30% of
Heart Rate Reserve or 35-45% of age- predicted Maximum Heart Rate
✔✔When should you stop an aerobic test, according to CESP guidelines? - ✔✔1. Client
asks to stop
2. Physical or verbal manifestations of severe fatigue
3. Onset of angina or angina like symptoms (e.g., clients complains of chest pain)
, 4. Stop test if BP is >260 (systolic) or >115 (diastolic) OR systolic BP drops >10 from
baseline with increasing workload
5. Signs of poor perfusion (light-headed, confusion, ataxia, pallor,
cyanosis, nausea, cold/clammy skin)
6. Equipment failure
✔✔What BMI classifies someone as obese, and what exercise recommendations would
you give? - ✔✔Obesity is defined as having a BMI that is over 30kg/m2. To reduce body
weight EE must exceed EI. To promote and sustain weight loss individuals should
progress to at least 250min/week. To achieve this they should exercise for ~1hr/day for
5-7days.
✔✔Osteoarthritis (OA) - ✔✔progressive, degenerative joint disease with loss of articular
cartilage and hypertrophy of bone (formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs) at articular
surfaces
✔✔Rhuematoid Arthritis (RA) - ✔✔chronic autoimmune disorder in which the joints and
some organs of other body systems are attacked
✔✔How can exercise benefit a person with arthritis? - ✔✔Exercise is not only safe for
individuals with arthritis but can reduce pain, fatigue, inflammation and disease activity.
✔✔cerebral palsy (CP) - ✔✔condition of motor dysfunction caused by damage to the
cerebrum during development or injury at birth; characterized by partial paralysis and
lack of muscle coordination
✔✔What considerations should you take with someone with Cerebral Palsy? -
✔✔Individuals with CP have a lack of motor coordination, so it's important to monitor
them. Medical clearance and functional assessments test should be done. ALways
assist as best as you can ex: with the use of straps, gloves for support and seated
exercises.
✔✔Fibromyalgia - ✔✔chronic condition with widespread aching and pain in the muscles
and fibrous soft tissue
✔✔multiple sclerosis - ✔✔A chronic disease of the central nervous system marked by
damage to the myelin sheath. Plaques occur in the brain and spinal cord causing
tremor, weakness, incoordination, paresthesia, and disturbances in vision and speech
✔✔Osteoporosis - ✔✔a condition in which the bones become fragile and break easily
✔✔What are general guidelines for individuals with Osteoporosis - ✔✔General
guideline is to prescribe moderate intensity weight-bearing exercises that do not
exaggerate pain.
