Pre-Participation and ExRx Basics
This helps us decide if medical clearance is necessary and starting exercise testing based on if the person exercises, has a known CV/metabolic/renal disease, and the presence of signs/symptoms
ACSM Screening Algorithm
This lipoprotein carries repackaged triglycerides and cholesterol out from the liver to the tissues
Very low-density lipoprotein
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the result of a loss of function of this organ due to autoimmune disorder damaging beta cells that produce insulin
Pancreas
The major sign/symptom of peripheral artery disease.
Intermittent claudication
Commonly used to assess asthma and COPD, this acronym describes the maximum amount of air that can be expired in the first second of expiration following maximum inhalation.
FEV1
The most commonly used clinical test to diagnose or assess ischemic heart disease
Clinical graded exercise test
Chronic hypertension damages this, which predisposes an individual to atherosclerosis.
Endothelium
This is a common consideration for exercising with patients on anti hyperglycemic medications, like GLP-1s or insulin.
Hypoglycemia
PAD diagnosis may be confirmed when ABI is this value or lower.
0.90
The term for airways becoming less open due to edema and excessive mucus production during an asthma attack.
Bronchoconstriction
The five health-related components of fitness
Cardiorespiratory fitness
Body composition
Muscular strength
Muscular endurance
Flexibility
VLDL and LDL contribute to atherosclerosis development because they have this on their surface, which can stick to damaged parts of the endothelium.
Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
This is a common consideration for exercising with patients on anti hyperglycemic medications, like GLP-1s or insulin.
Hypoglycemia
HFpEF is the result of this dysfunction, where the ventricles cannot adequately fill.
Diastolic
This type of COPD involves loss of lung elasticity and alveolar wall destruction, causing individuals to develop a barrel chest if severe enough
Emphysema
A method of assessing intensity when heart rate is not viable and is based on how well patients do this during exercise.
The talk test
The FITT recommendations for aerobic activity for dyslipidemia (and obesity) outline a frequency of how many days per week.
Patients may be diagnosed with diabetes if their HbA1C is this percent or higher.
6.5%
CHD patients (or any patient really) with a VO2peak of less than what MET value have a significantly high risk of mortality, making exercise a critical influencer of health.
5 METs
On the Modified Borg Scale for Dyspnea, a patient with COPD should have an intensity within this range.
3-6
When an individual has multiple risk factors with different FITT recommendations, we use the FITT recommendations for the condition with the ...
Highest workloads, Most conservative workloads, OR Aligns best with patient goals
Most conservative workloads
For those with hypertension, all of the following are considerations for exercising except for one.
Extended cool-down to mitigate excessive postexercise hypotension
Avoid the valsalva maneuver to prevent spikes in BP
Monitor BP throughout to ensure it does not go above 220/105
Avoid resistance training due to risk of injury if experience syncope
Avoid resistance training due to risk of injury if experience syncope
The optimal range for blood glucose prior to exercising.
90-250 mg/dL
After an MI, most individuals can perform a symptom-limited max effort test at 7 days, but for those who have a CABG, they must wait until this many weeks.
