Exercise Science Exam 2
Clinical exercise physiology - ANS-Involves how to apply exercise science to prevent or
delay the onset of chronic disease in healthy participants to provide therapeutic
functional benefits to patients with underlying pathologies
Clinical exercise physiologists - ANS-Healthcare providers who use the basics of
exercise physiology in a clinical setting to minimize the risk of chronic diseases that are
associated with physical inactivity and to treat those already affected
Graded exercise tests (GXT) - ANS-Exercise that is stepwise progressed from light to
maximum levels
CES - ANS-Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist
RCEP - ANS-Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist
CET - ANS-Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer
CIFT - ANS-Certified Inclusive Fitness Trainer (w/ disabilities)
AACPR - ANS-American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
CCRP - ANS-Certified Cardiac Rehabilitation Professional
Diagnostic testing - ANS-Performed to see how sick someone is; to uncover underlying
disease
Functional capacity testing - ANS-Performed to see how well someone is; to determine
the capacity for exercise or improve exercise performance
Examples of diagnostic testing - ANS-PFT's, ECG
Examples of functional capacity testing - ANS-VO2 peak test
Pretesting procedures include: - ANS-1. Pretest screening health risks
2. Physical examination
3. Health history
4. Informed consent
, Pretest screening for health risks: - ANS-Determine suitability for an exercise program
When should heart rate be measured? - ANS-For 60 seconds after sitting for 5 minutes
Sub-maximal GXT - ANS-Gives estimate of patient's maximum fitness level
Sub-maximal GXT is conducted by: - ANS-Evaluating a patient's cardio-respiratory
response to a sub-maximal exercise
Maximal GXT is taken until: - ANS-Complete exhaustion or until the point at which
abnormal physiologic responses occur
Maximal GXT is conducted: - ANS-For many reasons - measure VO2 max in athletes or
to diagnose abnormal cardio-respiratory function in cardiac patients
Exercise prescription - ANS-A formulated plan of physical activity to improve and
achieve beneficial outcomes with little risk; developed specific for an individual
3 functional goals of an exercise prescription - ANS-1. Increase physical performance
2. Improve health or reduce risk of disease
3. Ensure safety of exercise
What do exercise prescriptions specify? - ANS-1. Mode or type of exercise
2. Frequency of training
3. Intensity of effort
4. Duration of exercise
- walking (1), 4 days/week (2), 50% VO2 max (3), for 30 minutes (4)
What does a total exercise program include? - ANS-1. Warm-up, stretching activities
2. Endurance training
3. Cool-down, stretching activities
4. Flexibility training
5. Resistance training
6. Recreational activities
People who have atherosclerosis susceptibility gene are ___ more likely to have CHD -
ANS-50%
The leading cause of death in the U.S. - ANS-Cardiovascular disease
