Cardiovascular Fitness

This lab will take place following the midterm exam . All students will participate in the Step test and should come prepared to do so. Those participating in the Bruce protocol will be the only exceptions to this. Read the CSEP-PATH manual to determine the pre lab preparation regarding exercise, food and alcohol intake in the day prior to the test.

Flexibility

We will be comparing direct and indirect measurements of flexibility. We will discuss the appropriate utilization of subjective and objective methods of assessing flexibility and lower back health. Every student will be involved as both a subject and an assessor for this laboratory session. Please let the instructor know if you have ongoing injuries that will prevent you from participating in one or more of the assessments.

Core Stability

We will look at the assessment of endurance in trunk flexion, extension and lateral stability. Every student will participate as a subject and an assessor. We will also look at teaching neutral spine and abdominal bracing as a first step in rehabilitation and training of core stability. We will progress to look at several beginner and advanced endurance exercises, and the incorporation of labile surfaces into the training of dynamic stability.
Informed Consent for Bruce Test

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The Bruce Test is a multi-stage aerobic treadmill test. It starts at 1.7 mph and 10% grade and increases the speed and grade every three minutes until the individual is unable or unwilling to continue, or until some abnormal response such as an irregular heart beat occurs. The test usually lasts about 10 minutes. I will wear a portable heart rate meter. I will also have my electrocardiogram obtained from three electrodes stuck to my skin, one on each of the ribs and one on the sternum or scapula.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-possible irritation of the skin of the chest from the elastic heart rate meter strap or the electrodes.

-muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest,

-traumatic injury from falling during running (this risk will be minimized by having "spotters" at the side and back of the treadmill.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own aerobic fitness

I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Chair, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for Anaerobic Treadmill Test

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The anaerobic treadmill test has a warmup, then a single, brief (maximum of one to two minutes) run to exhaustion at 20% grade and either 6 or 8 mph, then a cool-down.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest,

-traumatic injury from falling during running (this risk will be minimized by having "spotters" at the side and back of the treadmill.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own anaerobic fitness

I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Chair, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for mCAFT

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The mCAFT is a multi-stage sub maximal aerobic test. The first stage of stepping starts at a tempo determined by gender and age and lasts for three minutes. The stepping tempo is then increased slightly for every subsequent three minute stepping stage. Heart Rate is monitored following each stage. The test will continue until I reach a pre-determined ceiling Heart Rate (85% of my age predicted maximum) or stage eight. The test usually lasts about 10 minutes. I will wear a portable heart rate meter or have my heart rate measured by palpation. I will also have my Blood Pressure measured several times during recovery.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-possible irritation of the skin of the chest from the elastic heart rate meter strap

-possible irritation or compression of the arm from blood pressure monitoring

-muscular fatigue in the legs, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-rare occurrences of dizziness, chest pain, fainting, or - very rarely - cardiac arrest

-traumatic injury from falling during stepping.

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own aerobic fitness

I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Chair, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology.

Informed Consent for Core Stability Lab

I, ______, give my consent to Ryan Dill to administer the following procedure as part of a laboratory in BPK 343, Active Health: Assessment and Programming.

The Core Stability lab will involve assessments and exercises for the musculature of the lumbar spine.

I understand that the potential risks of these procedures are:

-muscular fatigue in the core, and possibly some soreness in these muscles for a day or two after exercise.

-the advanced exercises and the use of labile surfaces increases the stress on the lumbar spine. These are not recommended unless performed properly, and are therefore optional

I understand that the potential benefits of my participation are:

-learn how the subject/client/patient feels during fitness testing

-help other students practice the procedure for administering fitness test

-obtain results of my own core endurance

I understand that I may withdraw my consent to participate at any time, and that I may stop at any time during the test for any reason. I further understand that if I have any complaint about these procedures that I my address this complaint to the Chair, Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology.
