CLINICAL EX TEST BODY AND ASSESSMENT

Skinfold

Procedures

Pinch should be maintained while reading the caliper

Caliper should be placed 1 cm away from the thumb and finger, perpendicular to the skinfold, and halfway between the crest and the base of The fold

All measurements should be made on the right side of the body

Skinfold generally ESTIMATE % fat within 3-5 % of underwater weighing

Hydrostatic Weighing

Expensive ◦ Time consuming ◦ Uncomfortable

Body composition

Minimal percent body fat - Males: 3% - Females: 12%

Average percent body fat - Males: 16% - 24% - Females: 22% - 31%

Assessment of body composition

Many people exercise for cosmetic and weight loss purposes

Obesity is a risk factor for CAD

Field Test for Aerobic Fitness

PRE TEST

Pedaling rate -50 rpm

Seat height - Five degrees of knee flexion

Pre-exercise blood pressure and heart rate

Shuttle runs

Time walk and ‘or run - 15 minute run - Rockport Walk Test - 6 minute walk

Step Tests

Calculation of BMI

Desirable < 25 kg/m2 Obesity ≥ 30kg/m2

BMI = Weight (kg) Height (m) x Height (m)

Clinical exercise testing

General Indication for stopping an Exercise Test in low risk adults

Excessive rise in blood pressure: systolic pressure > 250 mmHg or diastolic pressure > 115 mmHg

Significant drop (>10mmHg) in systolic blood pressure or a failure of the systolic blood pressure to rise with an increase in exercise intensity.

Onset of angina or angina-like symptoms

Contraindication to exercise testing

For certain individuals, the risks of exercise testing outweigh the potential benefits.

Relative: Patients with relative contraindications may be tested only after careful evaluation of the risk–benefit ratio

Absolute: Patients with absolute contraindications should not perform exercise tests until such conditions are stabilized or adequately treated.
