Cardio - Cardiac stress test

Cardio stress test is a medical test that indirectly reflects arterial blood flow to the heart during exercise. Compared with the blood flow at rest, the test reflects the differences in blood flow to the heart's are the left ventricular muscle tissue - part of the heart, which leads the largest amount of work pumping blood. Cardio test results can be interpreted as a reflection of the person's general physical condition. First standardized cardiac stress test developed in 1929 by Arthur Master, a doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The patient is either on the treadmill and is given by intravenous (iv) administered drugs, the performance associated with electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, usually with 10 standard connection used to simulate the record 12-lead ECG. The amount of exercise is increased in 3 minutes stages gradually increased grade (% incline) and speed (km / h km / h, etc.). Patient's symptoms and blood pressure checked again. With the use of ECG and blood pressure monitoring, testing itself is variously described as a cardiac stress test, stress test, exercise robots to test resilience to stress test or stress test ECG. In some patients with abnormal resting ECG, or those who do not have to make sure "practice " pharmacologically place to treadmill walking. The patient usually receives the drug dipyridamole or adenosine (both vasodilators) or dobutamine (which stimulates the heart rate and pumping strength), while the cardiologist or nurse of ECG monitoring, surveillance and blood pressure regularly.

Radioactive (generally, the technetium-99m sestamibi or thallium-201) injection in the simulated exercises. After a reasonable wait time images are captured with a gamma camera were. Photos will be judged by the patients in comparison's pictures in silence over the status of the patient's coronary arteries. If the radionuclides are used, is usually as a nuclear stress test. Since the ability to visualize the relative amounts of radioisotopes in the heart muscle to have the nuclear stress testing to identify more precisely to regional areas of decreased blood flow. However, diffuse flow global ischemia (blood, which is reduced uniformly distributed), can not recognize as an absolute blood flow is not measured quantitatively, but only regional differences.

Vertical jump test

Vertical jump measurements are used primarily in athletic circles for measuring performance, and as something athletes brag about among themselves. The most common sports in which A's vertical jump measured, athletics, basketball, football and volleyball, but many sports measure their players' vertical jumping ability during medical examinations. Vertical jump is a commonly used metric in the fairness test used, especially in sports like basketball and American football. Vertical jump 40 inches or more is considered excellent. Some athletes even have vertical jumps of over 50 inches, which is very rarely recorded.

Is the most common misconceptions about a vertical leap that the measurements are shown Athlete 's ability to lift the country out of the ramp, in contrast to the rest. The effect of this misconception is that many athletes grossly inflated their vertical jumps. In addition, the athletes got to "trick 'existing systems. Vertec can be deceived by far too high in the first measurement in general as " He shrugged ".

Cooper test

Cooper test is a test of physical fitness. It was developed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for U.S. military purposes. Performed in its original form, when considering the extent possible within 12 minutes. The test is the condition of the person who is not, and therefore must run at a constant speed instead of running sprints and fast measure. The result is the distance test subject was the basis of their age and sex. The results can be correlated with the VO2 Max. It is a simple test for larger groups, but difficult for runners, such as the length of the course is considered long-distance running, because everything is evaluated over 3 km "long-distance "-meaning competitors have a stronger commitment and focus on the red muscle cells. 5000 m world record is 12:37.35 Kenenisa Bekele. After 12 minutes had reached a distance of approximately 4750 meters.

Harvard Step Test

Harvard Step Test is a type of cardiac stress tests for the detection and / or diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. It is also a good level of fitness and your ability to recover from the severe physical effort. Faster your heart rate at rest again, in better shape You are in. It's kind of cardiovascular endurance test. The test offers the possibility to continue exercising for an extended period of time without tiring. Body (the person seeking review) steps up and down the platform at a height of about 45 cm. of 30 steps per minute for 5 minutes or until exhaustion. Exhaustion is the moment when the subject is not able to maintain actions for 15 seconds.

Subject seated immediately upon completion of the test and heart rate are calculated for 1 to 1.5, 2 to 2.5 and from 3 to 3.5 minutes.

Multi-stage fitness test

Related article: Aerobic capacity training.

The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20 meters apart. These tracks are already synchronized with the audio cassette or CD, which plays beeps at set intervals. Because the test is run, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing athletes to increase their speed during the test until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording. The recording is usually in the 25 \ divided "levels ', each about 62 seconds. In general, the tone interval, which calculates a speed at the beginning of the 8.5 km / h, ie 0.5 km / h with each level thereafter. Progress from one stage to another is indicated by 3 rapid beeps. The highest level will be reached before the guests to keep as a record of that examination.

Used for multi-stage fitness test to broaden the far and wide, not just from the sports organization, but in different operational organizations, as well as the basic level of fitness. This allows the organization to determine whether an employee (or potential employees) a certain level of competence must be able to fulfill their obligations.

Examples are police officers, Community Support Officers, firefighters and soldiers. The result is that a sufficiently able to perform these tasks, the multi-stage fitness test for determining whether a person is able to meet with them (or training for these functions), at what level of performance.

Vo2 max test

. VO 2 max or maximum oxygen consumption, is one of the factors that can determine an athlete's ability to constantly practice and is linked to aerobic endurance. VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that can be used in some intensive and maximum power.

Measured as a "milliliters of oxygen per minute per kilogram of body weight." This measurement is generally considered the best indicator of an athlete's cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Theoretically, the more oxygen you during your workout at a high level) the more ATP (energy, you can produce. It is often the case with elite endurance athletes typically have very high VO 2 max values.

Accurate measurement of VO 2 max requires efforts from all-out (usually a treadmill or bicycle), conducted under strict protocol Sports Performance Lab. These protocols include specific increase in the speed and intensity of movement and the detection and measurement of the volume and concentration of inhaled oxygen and exhaled air.
This determines how much oxygen an athlete used. Athlete's, increases the oxygen consumption in a linear relationship with exercise intensity - up to a certain point. It is a special moment when the oxygen consumption plateau, while increasing the intensity of the workout. The brand platform V02 max. It's a painful place in VO 2 max test, where the athlete moves from aerobic metabolism to anaerobic metabolism . From there it 's not \ long to stop exercising the muscles fatigue strength athletes. The test usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, and requires that the athlete fully rested and motivated to pain long enough to endure to find the actual VO max 2.

How to test aerobic capacity?

Physiotherapists often communicate with their patients, including children and older adults, the practice because of decreased physical activity associated with a sedentary lifestyle, injury, illness or disability. Objective quantification of aerobic capacity provides basic services for the patient, inform the process of assessment and intervention and the effectiveness of interventions. The purpose of this article is to review field tests of aerobic capacity, including walk tests, step tests, tests and shuttle service, for use in the pediatric and geriatric populations. Aerobic capacity of healthy children can be assessed with a walk test, shuttle run, and step tests. To determine the aerobic capacity in children with cystic fibrosis or who are seriously ill,
Time-walk tests are suitable step tests and shuttle walk tests. Field tests of aerobic capacity in healthy older adults include walk tests, step tests and shuttle walk test, whereas in older adults with heart and respiratory diseases, neurological, orthopedic, or disability in the time-walk test and shuttle walk tests used will. Field tests are safe, easy to operate and requires little equipment. Use of standardized administration of these tests are valid and reliable estimates of aerobic capacity in pediatric and geriatric patients that will be used to inform the exercise prescription and to quantify the efficacy of therapeutic interventions can be.

Many of the patients who are interacting with the physiotherapists of the exercise because of decreased physical activity with injury, illness or disability.1, 2 increasingly connected, but low activity becoming the standard inside "normal"people. Decline in physical activity was observed in each segment of the population, including children and geriatric populations.

A recent study in healthy children aged 4 až 1 8 years to get that 60% to 80% fitness values below the 25th percentile.3 also had more than 50% of people aged 65 years and allegedly a sedentary lifestyle.

Aerobic capacity training

Training of aerobic capacity.

Your performance in any kind of endurance event is directly related to your aerobic capacity in context. Endurance is an event that the aerobic energy as an important source of energy that can at least 2 miles from Cross ultramarthon used or Ironman Triathlon. It is important to understand that the shorter events, such as 2 Miler and 5k, even if the heart rate is above the aerobic zone aerobic capacity of the main energy source. Anaerobic energy contributes only a small amount of energy in these events, a greater aerobic capacity allows to produce more energy, thus aerobic endurance performance in every case. The best way to improve aerobic capacity, the train is in an aerobic zone.
Training in this zone, you are specifically and exclusively aerobic training system, and thereby maximize the benefits of training to your aerobic capacity. Improve your aerobic capacity allows you to work faster. If you do a lot of speed training and not on improving your aerobic capacity to focus significantly improve their performance.

It can be difficult to understand for many athletes, and to believe, but it's true - the best way to increase speed and performance is through aerobic workout. Many athletes are not with a heart monitor, with the majority of its aerobic zone. Many athletes use a heart rate monitor and train more aerobic zone.
From a lot of time spent preparing for the aerobic intensity of these athletes are always the maximum benefit for the aerobic capacity. How can more quickly without all the speed training? Increased speed and performance is greater aerobic capacity. If you do aerobic training, you feel like you walk slowly, to keep your aerobic heart rate target zone.

However, you can be sure that you work your aerobic system. Over time, building as their aerobic capacity, you will be your ability to run faster to improve. If you are from 8:30 pace per mile run time to improve themselves and then 8:15 to 8:00 in the mile at the same target heart rate zone.
This increase in aerobic capacity improved significantly as well as your racing, if you previously had a pace of 6:30 minutes ran the 10k, you will find that same level of effort with a 6:15 per mile or more.

Aerobic capacity definition.

Definition of aerobic capacity.
Aerobic capacity describes the capacity of the cardiovascular system (heart, lungs and blood vessels). Aerobic capacity than the maximum amount of oxygen the body can within a specified period, can be used generally during intense exercise defined. It is a function of both cardiovascular performance and maximum ability to remove and the use of oxygen from circulating blood.
To measure the maximal aerobic capacity, exercise physiologist or doctor VO 2 max test, which is the subject of increasingly strenuous exercise on a treadmill, from easy walking to exhaustion. People is usually associated with the measurement of respiration and oxygen consumption rate is upwards and the specified length of time is greatly increased.
Put simply, the higher the aerobic capacity, the higher the level of aerobic fitness. Cooper and multi-stage fitness tests can also be used to assess functional aerobic capacity for certain tasks or activities.

The degree of an individual's answer is quite heritable, suggesting that this characteristic is genetically determined.

The extent to which aerobic capacity can can help improve the performance varies widely among the population: while the average response time is the training about 17% increase in VO2max in a population, there are "high-responder ', which can like to double its capacity and "low-responder " who see little or no benefit from the course.
