ESS 2300 Chapter 7
When using a cycle ergometer for a GXT, generally, the pedal rate is constant at a rate appropriate to the person being tested: ____________for those of low to average fitness and ______________for highly fit and competitive cyclists.
50 to 60 rev · min-1; 70 to 100 rev · min-1
A submaximal test provides the HR and BP responses to various intensities of work ranging from light intensity to a predetermined point (usually ____ of predicted maximum HR).
85%
Measurements taken at rest reveal a lot about the way a person's cardiorespiratory system responds to physical activity.
False
Maximal HR is useful for determining the THR for fitness workouts, but it is not a good fitness indicator because it changes very little with training.
True
On the basis of thousands of exercise stress tests conducted since the mid-1950s, submaximal exercise tests are generally recommended for finding ischemic heart disease in asymptomatic individuals.
True
According to ACSM guidelines, an exercise test should be stopped if (select all that apply ______.
cold or clammy skin, the client/patient requests to stop, onset of angina
Which of the following is a reason to conduct CRF testing
evaluating the effectiveness of a training program, screening for heart disease, screening for heart disease, determining physiological responses at rest and during submaximal or maximal work, determining physiological responses at rest and during submaximal or maximal work
2 types of maximal tests
laboratory tests (measure physiological responses) field tests ( measure all out endurance performance)
The first step in exercise testing and activity prescription is:
obtaining informed consent
The YMCA cycle ergometer test is an example of a ________ exercise test protocol.
submaximal
The advantages of an endurance run test do NOT include
the ease of monitoring physiological responses
According to ACSM's contraindications to exercise testing, all but which of the following are absolute contraindications?
ventricular aneurysm
