Document Summary

Exercise intensity - narrowing of arteries feel fine until hr is too high. Sit to stand tests - post exercise arteries are expanded causing drop in bp. Waist circumference a better predictor because fat storage around vital organs are even more dangerous. Spirometry - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can"t exhale as hard as others. Pulse oximetry - measure of concentration of oxygen in your blood. Mod-vigorous, flexibility, strengthening can help with low back pain. Sit in a chair stand up walk 3m if they can"t do it in 12 seconds than at risk of falling. Dietary assessments (24hr recall, 3 day diet diary, 7 day fv ) Work related tests (physical demands analyses; ergonomics stress at work) When selecting an assessment: know your audience (can it be generalized for your client?, is it a reliable (consistent) is it a valid (accurate) assessment, is it feasible? (have equipment, space, skills, time to conduct? )
