Study Notes
Safety and Exercise: Part 1 - Exercise Risk Stratification
- This presentation focuses on exercise risk stratification for patients.
- Key objectives include identifying who should worry about exercise-related harm, those at risk, people who shouldn't exercise, and the timing of stopping exercise.
- Crucially, exercise testing is equivalent to aerobic exercise training (or submaximal testing), and applying exercise testing safety principles to aerobic exercise training is vital. This is particularly important in the first few sessions of outpatient exercise programs.
- The benefits of exercise far outweigh the risks, and the risks of a sedentary lifestyle are worse than the risks of exercise itself.
- More concern should be given to death from cardiovascular issues than musculoskeletal injuries during exercise.
- Exercise benefits include improvements in cardiovascular and respiratory systems, decreased central venous pressure (CVP), reduced risk of disease, lower morbidity and mortality, and improved mental health.
Objectives
- What concerns should be raised when patients exercise?
- Who is at risk during exercise?
- Who should not exercise and when should exercise be stopped?
- What knowledge and actions are required to ensure patient safety during exercise?
For This Presentation
- Exercise testing is synonymous with aerobic exercise training (or submaximal testing)
- Apply safety principles used in exercise testing to aerobic exercise training programs.
- Focus on the first few sessions of outpatient exercise programs.
Key Principles
- Any exercise increases the chance of adverse health events.
- The risk of a sedentary lifestyle is worse than the risk of dying during exercise.
- Cardiovascular problems pose a greater concern than musculoskeletal injuries during exercise.
And Remember...
- Exercise's benefits exceed its risks.
- Key areas addressed include Cardiovascular and respiratory improvements, decreased CVP, reduced disease risk and less mortality, and better mental health.
Know Your Patient's Medical History
- A critical aspect of exercise programs.
Why is knowing your patient's exercise habits important?
- A graph shows a significant relative risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with higher frequency of vigorous physical activity, peaking at days 3-4, then declining. High activity levels increase risk.
Key Principles
- Sedentary behaviour is assessed first to determine increased cardiovascular risk during exercise.
- Sedentary individuals are more likely to have cardiovascular issues during exercise than active individuals.
- The higher the level of exertion (exercise intensity), the greater the risk of a cardiovascular incident.
- Novices or sedentary individuals should start at a lower intensity level and gradually increase their exercise intensity.
A Helpful Screening Process
- A flowchart details a screening process based on patient characteristics, exercise habits, medical history, identifying risk, and appropriate clearance levels.
Major Signs and Symptoms of Cardiometabolic and Renal Diseases
- Table 2.1 highlights major signs and symptoms that escalate cardiovascular risk during exercise.
Key Principles
- Signs and symptoms of cardiometabolic diseases increase the risk of severe cardiovascular events during exercise.
- Knowledge and recognition of major signs and symptoms, as detailed in table 2.1 are crucial.
Let's Apply
- Cases come directly from the ACSM 11th Edition guidelines, specifically chapter 2.
At Risk for Having CVD ACSM 11th
- Positive risk factors, such as age, family history, smoking, physical inactivity, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipids, and blood glucose are detailed.
- Negative risk factors are also identified, including HDL-C levels.
- The presence (or lack) of crucial factors like smoking, medical history, and lifestyle choices should be considered during exercise risk assessment.
Professionalism
- Knowledge of CVD risks is crucial.
- Open communication about cardiovascular risk are vital.
- Apply the discussed concepts to practical situations.
Take Home
- Identifying patients at higher risk, particularly those with direct access to care or self-referrals, is necessary.
- Essential questions should be asked to assess risk.
- Light-intensity activities, such as walking, pose a similar risk to low-level activities such as walking to the clinic or store. Additional information on these factors is included in Part 2.
