EXPLAINED.
The new health-screening process is based on what three factors?
Clue(Cu Di De) - *answers* Ans:
.Current level of physical activity
.Diagnosed codition
.Desired exercise intensity
The new health-screening process is designed to identify what three categories of
individuals? - *answers* Ans:
◦ Those who should receive medical clearance before initiating an exercise program
or increasing the frequency, intensity, and/or volume of their current program
◦Those with clinically significant disease(s) who may benefit from participating in a
medically supervised exercise program
◦Those with medical conditions that may require exclusion from exercise programs
until those conditions are resolved or better controlled
True or False? The risk of cardiovascular complications during resistance exercise is
low. - *answers* Ans:True
Preparticipation health screening for individuals wanting to initiate an exercise
program may be conducted using which document as a self-guided screening tool? -
*answers* Ans:(PAR-Q+) Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
Explain why information about a client's medication use is important to gather during
the screening process. - *answers* Ans: Some substances alter the biochemistry of
the body and may affect a client's ability to perform or respond to exercise. The
properties of these drugs must be understood by the personal trainer and discussed
with the client. When designing and supervising an exercise program, it is important
to realize that many substances, over-the-counter medications, and prescription
drugs affect the heart's response to exercise.
The risk of exercise-related acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death is
highest among individuals with underlying cardiovascular disease who
A. Perform a level of physical activity to which they are not accustomed
B. Take their medication after exercise
C. Perform any level of activity
D. Follow their personal trainer's instructions - *answers* Ans:A. Perform a level of
physical activity to which they are not accustomed
, The risk of exercise-related acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death is
highest among individuals with underlying cardiovascular disease who perform a
level of physical activity to which they are not accustomed. That said, it is important
to note that the risk of an adverse cardiovascular event during exercise is extremely
low for asymptomatic individuals, even when exercising at a vigorous intensity.

Beta blockers block beta-adrenergic receptors and __________
A. Increase sympathetic nervous system stimulation
B. Limit sympathetic nervous system stimulation
C. Increase parasympathetic nervous system stimulation
D. Limit parasympathetic nervous system stimulation - *answers* Ans:B. Limit
sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents, or beta blockers, are commonly prescribed for a
variety of cardiovascular and other disorders. These medications block beta-
adrenergic receptors and limit sympathetic nervous system stimulation.

If a client is on a beta blocker, the BEST way to monitor exercise intensity is to use
A. Heart-rate reserve
B. Rating of perceived exertion
C. A heart rate monitor
D. Percent of maximal heart rate - *answers* Ans:B.Rating of perceived exertion
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents, or beta blockers, are commonly prescribed for a
variety of cardiovascular and other disorders. These medications block beta-
adrenergic receptors and limit sympathetic nervous system stimulation. In other
words, they block the effects of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine)
throughout the body and reduce resting,
exercise, and maximal heart rates. This reduction in heart rate requires modifying the
method used for determining exercise intensity. Using rating of perceived exertion or
the
talk test versus target heart rate, for example, would be appropriate for a safe and
effective cardiorespiratory exercise program for someone on beta blockers.
