A. Exercise heart rate
B. Recovery heart rate
C. Recovery blood pressure
D. Exercise blood pressure
1 | B. Recovery heart rate |
| An individual is visiting you for testing and takes beta-blocker medication for his heart. what would be the most appropriate method to evaluate how hard he is exercising?
2 | Borg RPE scale |
| Which of the following is an example of a muscle endurance test
a) Push up test
b) VO2 max test
c) 3-min step test
d) BYU jogging test
3 | a) push up test |
| Which of the following measures must be included with hydrostatic weighing in order to get a more accurate result?
a) residual volume
b) vital capacity
c) body mass index
d) non-chlorinated water
4 | a) residual volume |
| What is heart rate maximum reserve?
5 | The result of subtracting the resting heart rate from the maximal heart rate; represents the working heart rate range between rest and maximal heart rate within which all activity occurs. |
| What is an informed consent?
6 | Voluntary acknowledgement of the purpose, procedures, and specific risks of an activity which one intends to engage. |
| What is GXT?
7 | Graded exercise (stress) test; A test that measures exact maximum aerobic capacity. |
| What is the Karvonen Formula?
8 | The mathematical formula that uses maximum heart rate minus resting heart rate to determine target range.
Training HR = (max. HR- resting HR) x (desired intensity [50-85%])
+ RHR |
| What is the minimum evaluation you should complete with a client?
9 | Health/risk screening and exercise history and readiness assessment. |
| How long should you wati before administering follow-up exercise tests on your client.
10 | The frequency of follow-up testing will depend on the quality and quantity of the exercise training. The first follow up tests will be usually administered 4-12 weeks prior the onset of the exercise training. |
| What does systolic number and diastolic number for blood pressure represent?
11 | The upper number, systolic, represents the pressure created by the heart as it pumps blood to the body. This is the max. pressure created by the heart during a complete cardiac cycle.
The lower number, diastolic, represents the pressure that remains in t |
| How is cardiorespiratory fitness testing assessed?
12 | It can be assessed directly by measurement of oxygen uptake during a maximal graded exercise test or indirectly by estimating maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) from th heart rate response to a sub maximal work-load. |
| How would you convert absolute oxygen uptake to relate oxygen uptake?
ex. weight = 251 lbs.
absolute O2 = 3.811/min
13 | 1. Body weight (convert lbs to kg)
251 lbs/2.2 lbs/kg = 114kg
2. O2 uptake 1/min to ml/min
3.811 O2/min x 1000ml/1 = 3810 ml O2/min
3. Absolute to Relative
3810ml O2/min divided by 114 kg= 33.4 ml O2/kg/min |
| Name the 3 sub maximal test protocols.
14 | a) Ross sub-maximal treadmill protocol
b) YMCA sub-maximal step test
c) YMCA sub-maximal bicycle test
d) McArdle step test
e) Rockport fitness walking test |
| What are the four most common methods of assessing body composition?
15 | 1. Hydrostatic weighing
2. Circumference measurements
3.Bioelectric impulses
4. Skin fold measurements |
| What measurment is the "gold standard" of body composition assessment?
16 | Hydrostatic weighing |
| What is BMI?
17 | Body Mass Index = weight divided by height.
1. Body weight (convert lbs - kg.) 209lbs/2.2lbs/kg = 95kg
2. Height: (convert inches to meters) 70in. x 2.54cm/in = 178
3. BMI = 95/(1.78)2 = 30 |
| What is an anthropometric assessment?
18 | Circumference and skinfold measures to estimate body fat and its distribution. |
