Your progress will be observed during the tests and stopped if you show signs of undue fatigue. You may stop the tests at any time if you feel unduly uncomfortable.

  7. Informed Consent Form Pg 165 • Risks of exercise testing. During exercise certain changes can occur, such as raised blood pressure, fainting, raised heart rate, and in a very small number of cases, heart attacks or even death. Every effort is made through screening to minimize the risk of these occurring during testing. Emergency equipment and relevantly trained personnel are available to deal with any extreme situation that occurs.

  8. Informed Consent Form Pg 165 • Responsibility of the patient.

  24. PARQ: Risk of CHD • Coronary heart disease (CHD) – leading cause of death in Western world • 1/3rd deaths due to no physical activity

  25. CHD • Coronary arteries – blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to nourish the muscle cells of the heart muscle. • Atherosclerosis – build-up of fatty material (cholesterol/plaque) in the coronary blood vessels, which makes their diameter smaller. • CHD – Narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis.

  26. Implications of CHD to exercise • Physically demanding task. • Coronary arteries may not be able to supply heart muscle with enough blood to keep up oxygen demand. • Leads to pain in chest – angina. • Coronary artery completely blocked – heart muscle will die - heart attack.

  27. PARQ: Risk of CHD Pg 166 • Lifestyle Factors that increase risk of CHD: • Diet high in fat & table salt • Obesity • Smoking • Excess alcohol consumption • High blood pressure • Type two diabetes • Older age (Non-modifiable) • Male gender (Non-modifiable)

  28. CHD Regular exercise reduces the risk of heart disease
