What is Clinical Exercise Physiology?

use physical activity and exercise to prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease in healthy individuals and provide therapeutic or functional benefits to individuals with disease conditions or physical disabilities

What does a Clinical Exercise Physiologist need to have knowledge about?

Requires an understanding of how the body responds to acute and chronic physical activity and exercise in both health and diseased condidtions

Who developed testing and training procedures for healthy and diseased individuals?

AHA - American Heart Assosisation



ACSM- American College of Sports Medicine

What are the duties and responsibilities of a Clinical Exercise Physiologist?

Conductiong pre-exercise screening



Performing exercise testing and evaluation



Developing exercise percriptions



Instructing individuals in proper training techniques



Supervising exercise programs in varioius settings

Two types of testing

Diagnostic Testing



Functional Capacity

What is diagnostic testing?

helps assess the presence of cardiovascular or pulmonary disease

What is functional capacity?

Helps assess an individual's capcaity to participate in physical activity and exercise

What are the 3 reasons for testing?

Is it safe?



Baseline for improving



Effectivley design exercise precription

What is the pretesting procedure?

Pretest screening for health risk



Physical examination from doctor



Health History



Informed consent (informing patient of risks of the program)

What measurements does the pysiologisy take during the test?

HR


BP


Rating of precieved exertion


Electrocradiogram (ECG/EKG)


Echocardiography (sound waves / structure of the heart)


Oxygen consumption and functional capacity

2 Different test that could be taken

Submaximal graded exercise



Maximal Graded exercise testing

What is submaximal Graded exercise?

Dont test to the peak



1 -Instead the peak is calculated by


220-Age of individual= Age predicted peak



Whatever the predicted peak is, once the individual is at 85% of that peak, then they are stopped



2- Use a scale of 6-20, stop once they claim to be at 15


Used when testing for health

What is maximal graded exercise testing?

know maximal areobic exercise, HRmax, maxVO2



Only stop if problems start to present physical problems



Used for performance

What is an exercise percription?

Plan for physical activity and exercise



Achieve specific outcomes improve in fitness, reduction in disease risk, or weight loss



meets interest, goals, health needs, and clinical condition




Based on sound principles and innovative programming

Specific disease conditions:


Cardiovascular Disease

Coronary Artery Disease



Angina Pectoris



Mycocardial infraction

What is coronary artery diesase?

The blood vessels that give the heart O2

What is angina pectoris?

pain or discomfort in the chest when the heart isnt getting enough O2 to meet the demand

What is myocardial infraction?

Heart attack, the heart is working more than the demand of O2 and the tissue dies
