1.Based on his test results, what is Bob’s VO2 max? Calculate MET value (hint: Table 2.4) 2.Were his test responses considered normal? - (hint: what should happen to HR & BP during exercise?)) 3.Using the FITT principle, recommend a cardiovascular exercise program for Bob
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.
Summary of Client Interview: thinks he gets enough exercise at work. “Hey I work hard all day, isn’t that enough?” “When I’m I going to possibly find the time to exercise?”
Medications: anti-coagulant-Coumadin. No arrhythmia noted during test
