Height/weight charts.

Total body weight.

WHR.

Total body water.

Increased muscle viscosity, allowing easier and smoother contractions.

Reduced muscle tension and increased relaxation.

Improved coordination by allowing greater ease of movement.

Increased ROM.

The client exhibits mild cardiac symptoms of angina, occurring intermittently during exercise and sometimes at home while reading.

The client has a functional capacity of greater than 8 MET with hemodynamic responses appropriate to this level of exercise.

The client is noncompliant with smoking cessation and weight loss intervention programs.

The client is unable to palpate HR, deliver RPEs, or maintain steady workload intensity during activity.

Limit activities as tolerated to the development of self-care activities, ROM for extremities, and low-resistance activities.

Limit upper body activities to biceps curls, horizontal arm adduction, and overhead press using 5-pound weights while sitting on the side of the bed.

Progress all activities performed from supine to sitting to standing.

Measure vital signs, symptoms, RPE, fatigue, and skin color and perform electrocardiography before, during, and after treatments to assess activity tolerance.

8 to 12.

12 to 16.

14 to 18.

6 to 10.

0.8 g/kg.

1.4 g/kg.

2.2 g/kg.

1.7 g/kg.

Individuals on -blockers.

Aerobic classes that involve excessive arm movement.

Individuals older than 65 years.

Individuals involved in high-intensity exercise.

A decrease in maximal HR is responsible for reductions in the maximal oxygen consumption as we age.

A loss of fat-free mass is responsible for the decrease in muscular strength as we age.

The ACSM recommends a cardiorespiratory training intensity of 50% to 70% of HRR for older adults.

Resistance exercise training is not recommended for older adults.

Cramping, burning, and tightness in the calf muscle, usually triggered by activity and relieved with rest.

Acute, sharp pain in the foot on palpation at rest.

Crepitus in the knee during cycling.

Pitting ankle edema at a rating of 3 +

Muscle blood flow is increased as a result of warm-up.

Peripheral vasodilation occurs as a result of warm-up.

Peripheral vasoconstriction occurs as a result of warm-up.

Between 5 and 10 minutes should be allotted for a warm-up period.

Increase portion sizes at meals.

Eat more high-calorie foods (e.g., candy bars, soft drinks).

Eat one extra meal per day.

Snack on energy- and nutrient-dense foods (e.g., fig bars, nuts and dried fruit).

2,000 kcal.

2,500 kcal.

3,000 kcal.

3,500 kcal.

The number of repetitions to volitional fatigue will vary inversely with resistance.

It is necessary to determine the 1- RM to establish training intensity.

Exercise to volitional fatigue is not dangerous from a musculoskeletal standpoint provided that good exercise form is maintained.

Exercise intensity should be similar for males and females.

195 bpm.

166 bpm.

177 bpm.

102 bpm.

Be stored away for safekeeping.

Be revised as the program's policies and/or procedures are modified.

Be viewed as a document in progress.

Contain program information ranging from the organizational structure to the

facility's maintenance schedule.
