Question
Chapter 13, Problem 2TAI
Summary Introduction
To determine: The overall health of an individual on the resting heart rate.
Introduction:
Cardiovascular system refers to the network of vessels and organs in which the flow of blood takes place. The blood flow helps in carrying the oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the human body.

what is the independent variable when you are doing different activities to get your heart rate up
Cycling is a form of exercise known to increase the heart rate. For cycling, four incline levels typically determine how much more intense you would like the workout to be. Level one is a walking pace, two is slightly more difficult, three is like cycling up a hill, and four is the most intense like cycling up a mountain. I will test the heart rate to see how it increases or decreases depending on each incline level. The moderate activity would be levels one and two, while the strenuous activity would be levels three and four.
Before beginning the exercise, I will sit on the bike in a resting position to get my resting heart rate.
Then I will start the stopwatch on the bike that records my cycling time, heart rate, and RPM (revolutions per minute). I will start at level one for five minutes and then record my heart rate after the session.
I will rest for five minutes and then repeat the same process for each incline level (three more times; four in total).

It is your patient, Dave’s, first day of rehab. Dave had a heart attack 45 days ago. He is 40 years old and feels comfortable and confident enough to walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. Upon talking with Dave, you learn that he regularly exercised up until his heart attack. He completed resistance training 3 days/week at his local gym and would play tennis with friends several days each week. He can walk comfortably without an assistive device on flat surfaces at his own speed. You need to determine Dave’s VO2 in order to create a correct exercise prescription. Would you test this person, yes or no? If yes, please indicate what protocol you would choose and whether or not the test would be maximal or submaximal? Please include your rationale.arrow_forward
- The basic assumption behind use of heart rate monitors to assess physical activity is that the heart rate increases linearly with the intensity of movement. True Falsearrow_forwardAs a result of heart failure, compensatory mechanisms become activated and ultimately lead to further harmful consequences in the long term. Which of the following is NOT one such compensatory mechanism? O Baroreceptor-mediated activation of the sympathetic nervous system that leads to increased heart rate and contractility The activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that leads to increased blood pressure increased cardiac preload A reduction in both heart rate and blood pressure O Myocardial hypertrophy resulting in the thickening of the ventricular wallarrow_forwardA key role of the atrioventricular node is to act as a barrier to prevent the electrical impulse in the atria from reaching the ventricles. slow down the conduction of the electrical impulse as it passes from the atria to the ventricles. act as the pacemaker of the heart, by generating electrical signals in the right atrium. speed up the conduction of the electrical impulse as it passes from the atria to the ventricles. block backflow of blood from the aorta into the right ventricle.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements best describes the actions of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline in the heart? Noradrenaline acts on α1-adrenoceptors in the sinoatrial node to increase heart rate. Noradrenaline decreases the rate and force of contraction of the heart. Noradrenaline increases the rate, but not the force of contraction of the heart. Noradrenaline acts on β1-adrenoceptors in the sinoatrial node to increase heart rate.arrow_forwardDefine Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in your own words. Name three risk factors for CVD. Do you have any of these risk factors? If so, what lifestyle changes can make to improve your heart health? How can physical activity improve heart health?arrow_forwardChoose all the statements that are correct. When the heart beats, first the right side of the heart contracts, and then the left side of the heart contracts. That is one heartbeat. The sympathetic nervous system speeds up the heart rate and the parasympathetic system slows down heart rate. M Bradycardia is when the heart beats faster than normal. The SA node is the pacemaker of the heart. Coronary arteries deliver blood to the muscle of the heart. A heart attack is a myocardial infarction. The ECG (EKG) has a QRS wave that represents ventricular depolarization (the message to tell the ventricle to contract. The heart needs nerve stimulation in order to contract.arrow_forward
- Bob is a 36 year old construction worker. He is mildly overweight (BMI=27), has hypertension, a family history of heart disease, no structured exercise and he is presently trying to quit smoking. One month ago, he complained of chest pain at work, and was rushed to hospital. A coronary angiogram confirmed that he had two (2) blocked arteries. Physicians tried to do angioplasty to open his clogged arteries but the procedure did not work. Subsequently, as a preventive measure, Bob had open heart surgery. His recovery in the hospital was excellent. His follow-up Bruce protocol test results (performed at rehab facility) are below. Previous exercise history/diet history: never exercised before. Only reason he is exercising is because his wife and doctor have told him he needs to. Eats fast food for lunch every day. Only healthy meal is dinner.

Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample.
