What is fasting glucose
You do fasting glucose because you don't get an accurate reading if you have eaten because your blood sugar spikes when you eat.
You can assess for diabetes
Ideally it's below 100mg/DL (deciliter of blood) so between 70-100
101-125 prediabetes
125 diabetes
What are triglycerides
The chemical form of fat in food and the body
Excess can lead to coronary heart disease
less than 150 is normal
greater than 200 mg/dL is high
Need them because body needs energy and gets it from fat. if you have too much fat you get blockages
What is cholesterol
Some is healthy because it's essential for the health of the bodies circulation system and production of key hormones
HDL Cholesterol
High density level protein
Theses are to good ones they remove excess LDLs from arteries
If this one is low that is not good
less than 40 mg/dL is major risk factor
40-60 mg/dL is good
LDL cholesterol
low density level protein
too much LDL causes arteries to be blocked and can lead to coronary heart disease
less than 100 is optimal
greater than 160 mg/dL is high
What are vital signs
Heart rate and blood pressure
heart rate is an indicator of heart functioning and physical fitness
blood pressure tells us the force of blood on your vessels as it 's being pumped through the body
What is a glucometer and how do you use it
glucometer measures glucose. Can help us identify diabetes or keep diabetes in check
you calibrate the glucometer by inserting a test strip the way the arrow points
you prick the finger and wipe the first bit of blood off
you use the second blood after you squeeze the finger
glucometer reads the test strip
what is normal resting heart rate RHR and when is the best time to calculate
60-100 bpm
When you wake up
What could it mean if you heart rate is very low
it depends on if you feel fine or you don't feel good. if you feel fine it means you have an efficient heart rate. If you don't feel good it could mean dehydrated of other heart problems
What could it mean if you heart rate is very high
Your heart is not efficient it has to pump harder to get the blood through your body. It is associated with increased risk of heart disease
What is a healthy blood pressure range
120/80
What could it mean if your blood pressure is very low
It is only a problem if you have symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness fainting or dehydration
What is considered high blood pressure and what could it mean if your blood pressure is high
140/90 which is hypertension which can weaken the arteries and cause ruptured arteries because it forces the left ventricle to work harder
Explain what blood pressure is
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the blood vessels arteries.
Why is blood pressure important for health
it's critical for proper gas exchange between the capillaries and the tissue fluid. It can tell if the blood is flowing smoothly through the arteries of if there are possible obstructions which could lead to health problems
Why do we use the cuff to take blood pressure
because it partially blocks the blood flow which causes a vibration which is not otherwise audible.
Vibrations occur when the cuff pressure is higher than diastolic but less than systolic.
The higher number is systolic
How do you interpret 134/76 as a blood pressure reading
The pressure of the blood on the vessel walls when the heart is contracting is 134 millimeters of mercury and the pressure of the blood on the vessel walls when the heart is filling is 76 milimeters of mercury
Why would you choose to conduct placatory Blood pressure over osculatory blood pressure
If you don't have a stethoscope
if the environment is too loud
What is cardiorespiratory endurance
the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to the cells in support of prolonged physical activity
Why does cardiorespiratory endurance matter
It can tell you if your heart and lungs are in good shape
You have faster recovery times between exercise sessions
decreased blood pressure and lipids
increased ability to use oxygen during exercise
increase red blood cells
What is the most common measure of Cardiorespiratory endurance
VO2max
What does VO2 max stand for
the maximum volume (v) of oxygen (o2) in milliliters that you can use in one minute per kilogram of body weight.
The maximum amount of oxygen that the body can use per minute of activity
What is the difference between absolute and relative VO2max
Absolute VO2max does not consider a persons weight so is not as accurate as relative VO2max
Relative VO2max is measure in ml/kg/min - this one takes weight into account
How do you calculate target heart rate
Max Heart rate MHR = 220 - age
RHR - you take it with pulse x 2 for 30 sec (usually given to you)
Intensity = percentage given to you
First you calculate your Heart Rate Reserve HRR = Max HR - RHR
