Study Notes

Unit 5 - Cardio-Fitness

Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max): The ability of the body's oxygen transport system to deliver oxygen to cells.
Submaximal Aerobic Testing: Used by Physical Therapists (PTs) to determine an individual's VO2 Max, diagnose functional limitations, and assess effectiveness of rehabilitation strategies.
Predictive Tests: Assess functional capacity; examples include Modified Bruce treadmill, single-stage submaximal treadmill, Canadian aerobic fitness test, 20m shuttle test, Rockport Fitness test.
Performance Tests: Measure performance during specific activities; examples include self-paced walking test, modified shuttle walking test, bag and carry test, timed-up-and-go test (TUG).
MET Levels of Intensity: Measure the intensity of physical activity. Light (1.6-2.9 METS), Moderate (3.0-5.9 METS), Vigorous (>6.0 METS). Examples of activities include making a bed, slow walking, brisk walking, dancing, hiking, jogging, and shoveling.
Medication's Effect on Heart Rate and Blood Pressure (HR/BP): Some medications can reduce the heart rate response during exercise.

Unit 6 - Mobility

Mobility: The ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion (ROM).
Range of Motion (ROM): Normal values for elbow flexion/extension and knee flexion/extension are outlined.
Active and Passive ROM: Maintaining movement to prevent complications, promoting circulation during immobilisation.
Functional Excursion: Distance a muscle can shorten after being stretched to its maximum, important in understanding a muscle's capacity. This varies if the muscle crosses more than one joint. Active insufficiency occurs when contracting and passive insufficiency when fully relaxed and at the end of range.

Unit 7 - Strength

Types of Muscle Contractions:
Isometric: Static contraction without visible joint movement (stabilization exercises).
Eccentric: Muscle lengthens as it contracts (e.g., lowering weight).
Concentric: Joint movement (e.g., lifting weight).
Age-related Changes in Muscle Performance: Muscle performance decreases with age, starting at ~25.

Unit 9-10 - PA Guidelines - FITT

Normal Response to Exercise: Heart rate (HR) and Blood Pressure (BP) increase noticeably.
Obesity FITT Guidelines: ~150 minutes per week of physical activity (PA) for modest weight loss. Increased time for more significant weight loss.
PA Guidelines for Different Groups: Guidelines for children, adults, and geriatrics on duration and intensity of activity are outlined.
Intensity Levels: Intensity levels are described using the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale, and METS rating.
Types of Cardiovascular Fitness: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Sprint Interval Training (SIT), and High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) are highlighted and explained.
Case Studies: Apply previously discussed concepts in case studies.
