Objectives – PPT A

1. Objectives – PPT A • Discuss the unique contributions of physical therapists to the comprehensive care of young to aged populations with cardiopulmonary impairments. • Apply the conceptual model of disablement and the American Physical Therapy Associations Guide to Physical Therapy Practice as appropriate to the examination, evaluation, treatment, and critical inquiry of physical therapy practice for patients with cardiopulmonary impairments. • Describe physiological responses during progressive endurance exercise across the neuromuscular and cardiopulmonary systems. • Describe and analyze physiological responses of the thermoregulatory system in different environments including heat, humidity, and cold. • Describe and analyze the different energy systems (ATP/CP, glycolysis, oxygen transport/electron transfer) used in different activities (eg, one minute, anaerobic, or aerobic activities). • Compare and contrast cardiac vs. skeletal muscle cell anatomy, physiology and adaptations to training. • Analyze, develop and implement an exercise prescription for muscular adaptation, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning; for either health or fitness based on exercise performance; and differentiate between programs to improve health vs. to improve cardiopulmonary fitness. • Describe the principles of specificity of training in relation to muscle fiber type and training effects and develop exercise prescriptions to optimize an individual’s training. • Describe the effects of bed rest and immobilization of a body part on various tissues and systems. • Describe the measurement principles and accuracy of common methods to measure body composition (hydrostatic weighing, bioelectrical impedance, skinfold measurements, and circumferential measurements). • Describe recommended ranges for percent body fat based on age and gender. • Describe advantages and disadvantages of maximal versus submaximal exercise stress tests.
