Develop discrepancies: clarify the difference between current and preferred behavior, encourage exploration of likely outcomes in life with and without change 3. roll with resistance: avoid arguing, offer new perspectives, demonstrate patience and flexibility 4. support self-efficacy: instill confidence in ability to change, limit and redirect negativity, affirm appropriate goals Sustain talk - talking about the costs of changing and the benefits of not changing Change talk - talk about the benefits of changing a client's behavior and the costs of not changing Use open-ended questions, summarizing, and skillfully using reflective listening to express empathy, with the goal of guiding the conversation toward more change talk.

Generalized procedures for submaximal testing of cardiorespiratory fitness:

1. Obtain resting HR and BP immediately prior to exercise in the exercise posture. 2. The client should be familiarized with the ergometers. If using a cycle ergometer, properly position the client on the ergometers (upright posture, ~25 degree bend in knee at maximal leg extension, and hands in proper position on handle bars. 3. The exercise test should begin with a 2-3 min warm-up to acquaint the client with the ergometers and prepare him or her for the exercise intensity in the first stage of the test. 4. A specific protocol should consist of 2 or 3 minute stages with appropriate increments in work rate. 5. Heart rate should be monitored at least two times during each stage, near the end of the second and third minutes of each stage. If HR is greater than 110 beats/min, steady state HR should be reached before the workload is increased. 6. BP should be monitored in the last minute of each stage and repeated (verified) in the event of a hypotensive or hypertensive response 7. RPE (using Borg or category-ratio scale) and additional rating scales should be monitored near the end of the last minute of each stage. 8. Client's appearance and symptoms should be monitored and recorded regularly. 9, The test should be terminated when the subject reaches 70% heart rate reserved. (85% age-predicted HR max), fails to conform to the exercise test protocol, experiences adverse signs or symptoms, requests to stop, or experiences an emergency situation. 10. An appropriate cool-down/recovery period should be initiated consisting of either A. continued exercise at a work rate equivalent to that of the first stage of the exercise test protocol or lower or b. passive cool-down if the subject experiences signs of discomfort or an emergency situation occurs. 11. All physiologic observations should be continued for at least 5 min of recovery unless abnormal responses occur, which would warrant a longer posttest surveillance period. Continue low-level exercise until HR and BP stabilize, but not necessarily until they reach preexercise levels.

1. Oxygen uptake plateaus and does not increase by more than 150 mL·min-1 with increase in workload 2. Failure of HR to increase with increased exercise intensity 3.

General Adaptation Syndrome:

1: Alarm - Upon perceiving a stressor, the body reacts with a "fight-or-flight" response and the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated as the body's resources are mobilized to meet the threat or danger. 2: Resistance - The body resists and compensates as the parasympathetic nervous system attempts to return many physiological functions to normal levels while body focuses resources against the stressor and remains on alert. 3: Exhaustion - If the stressor or stressors continue beyond the body's capacity, the resources become exhausted and the body is susceptible to disease and death.

This is the bottom position. To reach the top position, subjects are to flex their spines to 30 degrees, reaching their hands forward until their fingers touch the second strip of tape. A metronome is set at 40 bpm. AT the first beep, the subject begins the curl-up, reaching the top position at the second beep, returning tot he starting position at the third, top position fourth, et c. Repetitions are counted each time the subject reaches the bottom position. The test is concluded either when he subject reaches 75 curl-UPS, or the cadence is broken.
