Lactate >8mmol/L
Factors for a valid VO2
RPE>18
Max?
Plateu in VO2
HR @ age predicted max
Drug has half life of 4 125mg
hours. IF given 1000mg,
what concentration is left
after 12 hours.
Can HR max be changed NO
with training?
How many factors must 3
we see for Valid Vo2 max
test?
RER: co2 expired/ o2 consumed at mouth
RER vs RQ
RQ: Co2 produced by cell metabolism/ o2 used by
tissues
,What variable caueses Stroke volume because heart gets bigger (NOT MAX
VO2 max to increase with HR)
training?
Lactates main job is to buffer Ph, muscle fatigue
_______________ and does not
cause
Client DOES NOT - Have a chronic disease
regularly exercise, when - Have a chronic disease and S/S
do they need clearance?
Client DOES regularly Only if they have S/S
exercise, when do they
need clearance?
Acute EXSC affect on INC concentration
leukocytes?
Gold std for diagnosing Cardiac catheterization
cardiac issues
Elevation: Myocardial infarction
ST segment elevation vs
depression
Depression: ischemia
2 cases when you should - Client uses Beta Agonist
not do a regular exsc
stress test: - Client uses dipyridamole (a vasodilator)
What BP level 250/115
contraindicated during
exsc test
Patient w/ CAD will exhibit VERY slow to return to resting levels
