100

The CDC recommends this number of minutes for moderate intensity exercises and this number of minutes for vigorous intensity exercises, or an equivalent mixture.

150 minutes of moderate

75 minutes of vigorous

100

How maximum HR is impacted by aging.  (increases, remains unchanged, or decreases)

Decreases

100

The 3 components that make up an effective fall prevention program.

Balance training, high intensity strength training, and gait training

100

This type of balance challenges the center of mass while the feet are fixed.

Static balance

100

The 3 leading causes of death in geriatrics.

1. Cancer

2. Stroke

3. Heart Disease

200

The RPE scale value that equates to vigorous intensity exercises.

7 or 8

200

The vital that is measured by Ejection Fraction.

Stroke volume

200

Inner ear infections, sensory deficits, age-related changes, medication side effects, and incontinency are examples of these types of fall risk factors

Intrinsic risk factors

200

This type of balance challenges the Center of mass while the feet are in motion.

Dynamic balance

200

This is measured by the Karvonen Formula

Target HR

Target range (HRmax-HRrest) + HRrest = HRtarget

Number of hours of exercise needed in an Exercise Prescription to be effective in preventing falls.

50 hours spread over a 6-month period

300

Type of training that is defined by completing a primary task while performing a secondary task.

Dual-Task Training

Contributors to this impaired cardiovascular measurement include deconditioning, pathological issues, and physiological factors.

Aerobic Capacity

400

The vital that is defined by Stroke Volume X HR.

Cardiac Output

400

Restraints, lighting, environmental hazards, lack of adaptive equipment, etc. are examples of these types of fall risk factors.

Extrinsic risk factors

400

The 3 components that contribute to moderate to high balance training.

500

Three strategies used to prevent loss of balance.

Ankle, Hip, and Stepping strategies
