Health Screening (Why)

Identify people with diseases who should be medically supervised during exercise.



Indentify & exclude people with medical contraindications.



Detect people who should undergo medical/exercise test before exercise or increasing intensity/frequency.

Health Screening - Multi Stage Process

1) Self Guided e.g. Par-Q or Acsm Questionnare.


2)CVD Risk factor assessment & classification.


3) Medical test (physical/mental)

CVD Risk Factors

Age - (Men >45, Women >55).

High - N/A risk factors, S/S and known disease. - medical exam, exercise test and supervison.

GXT

- Assess the ability to tolerate increasing intensity.


- limited by CV, heart, symtoms and lungs.


- positive response - negative health


- negative response - healthy performnace.

GXT Methods

Expired Gas


RPE


Chest Pain

Changes with training


Encourage to give 100% effort


Critea:-



- vo2 max & Hr plateu at increased workload.


- RER >1.15.


- Blood Lactate >8mmol.


- RPE > 17.

Vo2 Max Definition

Maximal intergrated capacity of the pulmonary, cardiovascular and muscular systems to transport, uptake and utilize oxygen.

What limits vo2 max?

1) Respiration


2) Central Circulation


3) Peripheral Circulation


4) Muscle Metabolism

Respiration

O2 Diffusion


Ventilation


Alvelor ventilation perfusion rate


Hb-O2 affinity rate


Central Circulation

Q


Arterial Blood Pressure


HB concentration

Peripheral Circulation

Muscle Blood Flow


Capillary Density


O2 diffusion


Muscle Vascular Conductance


Hb-O2 affinity rate

Muscle Metabolism

Enzyme and oxidative potential


Energy stores


Myoglobin


Mitochondira - size and volume


Muscle mass and fibre type


Substrate delivery

Mean Transit Time

Rest - 750ms


Exercise - 300 - 400ms.



Increased capillary bed increases MTT and allows greater oxygen extraction from the arterial blood.

Respiration & Lung Disease - 4 Stages

1) Pulomary Ventilation


2) external respiration


3) transport of gas


4) internal respiration

Obstructive Lung Disease

Intrinsic - inflamtion or scaring of lung tissue or filling of air spaces with debris.



Extrinsic - chest wall, pleura or intercostals.



COPD

Chronic Bronchitis - Inflmation/excess mucus.



Emphysema - breakdown of alveoli membranes.



Asthma - bronchial hyper responsivness and variable bronchoconstriction.

Asthma

Normal



- clear airway


- dilated airway


- loose smooth muscle


- thin walls



Asthma



- narrowed airway


- tightened smooth muscle


- imflamtion of walls - thick.


- mucus build up.

EIB/EIA

Thermal Theory


- Muscosal Cooling


- Vasconstriction


- Rapid rewarming


- Vascular leakage/edema



Osmotic Theory


- Muscosal Dehydration


- Increased osolarity


- cell volume changes


- mediators released


- smooth muscle contraction


- vascular leakage/edema

Field Testing

Positives



- Ecologicall valid


- sports specific


- large sample sizes


- cost effective


- time effective



Negatives


-reliability


- internal validity


- uncontrollable environment.


- accuracy of results.

Field Testing

Aerobic Endurance


Muscular Strength/Endurance


Flexibility


Body Comp

Balance

Muscle Metabolism (Sprinting) - Demands

High force production


Quick muscle contraction


Rapid ATP breakdown & resynthesis


High rate of Pcr breakdown


High rate of Glycogen breakdown


High phosofructokinase activity


ATP

ATP removes a Phosphate (Pi) to release energy and form ADP.



Creatine Kinase removes (P) from Pcr to form another ATP for energy.

ATPase and Fibre Types

1 - low activity = slow release


2a - moderate activity = fast release


2x - high activity = fast release

Pcr Content

Type 1 = 80-90mmol.g.drymass


Type 2a = 80-90mmol.g.drymass

20 second


-uses 73% Pcr


-uses 18% glycogen


-80mmol.kg.drymass lactate


-57% vo2max


Lactate Metabolism

Aerobic Training increases mitochondria, greater fat usage and less use of glycogen.



= reduced glycotic flux


= reduced lactate formation

Lactate Metabolism - lowering

Reduce production, increase clearance.
