What is coronary artery disease?

100

Restricted movement and tenderness to palpation along the axis of the joint.

What is indicative of arthritis?

100

Preferred mode of cardiorespiratory exercise testing for people with arthritis.

What is cycle ergometry?

100

This type of training is a critical part of a training program specific to people with COPD.

What is ventilatory training? (Increases strength of ventilatory muscles by making them work harder - improving ventilatory performance and reducing ventilatory demand over time)

100

People with arthritis should be monitored for this amount of time and for this outcome following a training session.

What is the 2-hour pain rule?

200

When the heart is unable to pump enough blood.

What is chronic heart failure?

200

Elevation of ST segment.

What is an abnormal ECG tracing indicative of myocardial ischemia (and potentially CAD)?

200

VO2 function prediction equations are strongly NOT recommended for this population.

What is chronic heart failure? (Accurate measurement needed for clinical diagnoses)

200

3 benefits of exercise for people undergoing cancer treatment(s).

What are improved mental health, increased energy levels, and improved muscle strength?

200

A cause of leg pain during exercise for individuals with T2D.

What is diabetic neuropathy?

300

Degradation of joint cartilage.

What is osteoarthirits?

300

Preferred cardiorespiratory test type for people with a recent myocardial infarction.

What is a symptom-limited test?

300

Even if resting BP is controlled, people with hypertension may have this kind of BP response to exercise testing.

What is exaggerated?

300

This type of cardiorespiratory training may result in better glucose control for people with diabetes.

What is high-intensity interval training?

300

Special consideration that can result in higher resting HR and lower maximal HR in people with diabetes.

What is cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy?

400

Hyperglycemia that develops in children whose pancreas does not produce enough insulin.

What is Type I diabetes?

400

FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and single-breath diffusing capacity.

What are the primary pulmonary function tests to diagnose COPD?

400

This mode of testing should be AVOIDED for people with osteoporosis due to lack of balance and negative consequences of a slips, trips, and falls.

What are treadmill tests?

400

Recommended duration for initial cardiorespiratory training for people with osteoporosis.

What is 20 minutes per day?

400

People with diabetes should not perform exercise below this level of fasting glucose.

What is <100mg/dL?

500

Combined genetic, environmental, and pathological factors that alter blood lipid and lipoprotein concentrations.

What is dyslipidemia?

500

Metabolic syndrome risk factors (name 3)

What is: abdominal obesity, elevated BP/medication, elevated glucose levels/medication, dyslipidemia (high triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol or medication), or current smoker?

500

Specific exercise testing modifications REQUIRED for someone with hyperlipidemia?

What is none?

500

Aerobic training frequency recommendations for T2D.

What is 3-7d/wk with no more than 2 consecutive days/wk without activity?

500

Despite no changes in VO2 function, you may want to adjust this training parameter if a cancer patient is exhibiting fatigue/unable to adhere to the training program.

What is volume, intensity, or modality?
