Exercise Fitness Test
Martin Ramirez Client Evaluation and Exercise Prescription Summary The client (Martin Ramirez) had several teat performed on him. Each test had its own specific meaning, procedure, result and interpretation. ... The tests were the blood lipid profile, skin-fold, Pulmonary, hydrostatic weighing, Bruce Protocol stress test, and the ECG analysis. First, Martin had to have a blood test done at the campus health center. The blood test is taken because it could tell the tester and client numerous important information. The blood test is able to tell any abnormalities in things like creatinine, glucose, calcium, protien, lactate dehydrogenase, cholesterol, triglycerides, and iron to name a few. ... The skin-fold test is an alternative and a simpler procedure to predict body fatness. ... Pulmonary, was the next test done on you. ... The following test was hydrostatic weighing. ... There are some potential sources of error in hydrostatic weighing: - inaccurate or predicted residual volume - subject unable to maximally exhale underwater - inappropriate body density to body fat equation utilized - pretest procedures not followed Lastly, there was exercise stress test, were we were able to take different test such as VO2 max, blood pressure, heart rate, RPE, and an ECG analysis. ... Heart rate is used as a guide to exercise intensity because of the relatively linear relationship between heart rate and percent VO2 max. ... Heart rate should increase linearly with the progression of exercise intensity. Your heart rate increased as expected with increase in exercise intensity. Before and during the exercise stress test I took a resting and exercise ECG reading. ... This is why you breathe more heavily during and after exercise. ... With a questionaire being taken by you, I statified if there were any health risk that would have prevented you from participating in any of the test and also to determine if a physician was needed to be present during your VO2 max test or for future exercise bouts. ... An ECG printout was taken of both exercise and resting phase. ... By these two criterions being reached, it proved that this was a VO2 max test instead of a VO2 peak test. Heart rate /Blood Pressure: Your heart rate and blood pressure was measured during the exercise stress test. Your resting heart rate was 62 and reached a high of 190 by the end of the test. It rose constantly as exercise intensity increased. Blood pressure was normal throughout your exercise test. ... Once the stress test came to an end your blood pressure went back relatively close to your normal especially during recovery phase. ... ECG: The ECG results were normal Body Composition: I performed three body composition test. The test were BMI, which is the body mass index measured by body mass, kg/ stature, m2. ... 9 III > 40 The next body composition test I did was the skin-fold test. ... Table of norms for body composition in males* and females*: At Risk (Malnutrition) <5% <8% Below Average 6-14% 9-22% Average 15% 23% Above Average 16-24% 24-31% At Risk (Obesity) >25% >32% The last body composition test done was hydrostatic weighing. ... Pulmonary: The pulmonary test was the test done on the spirometer. This test measured static lung volumes and pulmonary function. ... 1L Percent 80% Percent 42% Percent 90% Blood Lipid: Taking a blood test I was able to look at your cholesterol level as well as some other important items.
