Interesting Definitions
Exercise (ek’ser-siz)

improvement of health or the correction of
physical deformity.

Interesting Definitions
Exercise
– Physical activity that is planned, structured,
repetitive, and purposeful, usually aimed at a
improving or maintaining physical fitness.
Physical activities
– Any body movement produced by skeletal
muscles that results in energy expenditure
beyond resting expenditure.

The Benefits of Exercise
Primary Prevention
• Brisk walking, 30mins/day, 5 times/week
– 30% ↓vascular events in 3.5 years follow-up1
• 3 hours of brisk walking/week = 1.5 hours of
vigorous exercise per week2
• Resistance exercise and weight training were
also beneficial3

Primary Prevention

“ No pain, no gain” approach is out!1
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the American College of
Sports Medicine 1995’
– Every person should accumulate at least
30minutes of moderate-intensity physical
activity daily

The Benefits of Exercise
Secondary Prevention
Physical activity with 1000kcal/wk
–
20-30% ↓ all cause mortality1
For patients without revascularization
–
Exercise training improves SBP, angina symptoms and
exercise tolerance2
For patients with revascularization
–
–
–
Improvement in QoL, exercise tolerance
↓29% cardiac events
↓re-admissions (18.6 vs 46%)3

3. Tips on Exercise prescription
A. Endurance training
•
•
Frequency: 3-7d/wk
Intensity:
•
•
•
•
65-85% of Max HR on treadmill exam
10 beats below ST depression, arrhythmia, Sx
20% above resting HR
Duration: 20-60mins

A. Endurance training
•
Modality:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Walking, jogging, running,
Stairclimber
Cycling
Rowing
Cross-country ski machine
Swimming
aerobics
Principles of Exercise Prescription
B. Resistance training
– Frequency: 2-3d/wk
– 1-3 sets of 8-15 RM for each muscle group
– Increase weight slowly, 2-5 lbs/wk for UL & 510 lbs/wk for LL)
– Start only 2-3 wks after myocardial infarction
– Pure isometric exercise is not recommended
Principles of Exercise Prescription
4.Regular clinical follow-up for exercise progress
and symptoms reassessment
– To assess the cardiovascular status
• Chest pain, dizziness, LOC, palpitation, dypsnoea, appetite,
BO/PU, resting BP & P.
– To assess the progress of exercise tolerance
– Advancing the prescription according to
• The improvement in fitness
• To increase in steps of 5 – 10% of max. heart rate
• To maintain ~ 85% of max. heart rate during the whole
exercise session
Principles of Exercise Prescription
5. Regular treadmill exercise stress test
reassessment
– Ascess the impact of medical and exercise
management
– Provide feedback to patient
– Plan of future management
Tips on Hypertensive patients
• Avoid pure isometric exercise
• Side effect of Anti-HT medications:
– Beta-blockers: lethargy
– Diuretics: dehydration
– ABCD: Post-exertional BP↓
• Control BP first →Exercise Second!
• Treadmill is a very good test for BP trend
on exertion
Tips on DM patients
Pre- exercise treadmill Stress test was indicated:
1. Age > 40
2. Age > 30 with

–
–
–
DM > 10 yrs
HT
Smoking
Hyperlipidemia
Retinopathy
Nephropathy (microalbuminuria)
3. Coronary Artery Disease
4. CVA
5. Peripheral vascular disease
6. Autonomic neuropathy
7. Renal Failure
Tips on DM patients
Type I DM (IDDM)1
– Aerobic exercise
– Low – moderate intensity
– 20-60mins/day
– 4 – 6 days per week
Tips on DM patients
Type II (NIDDM)
– Aerobic exercise
• Moderate intensity
• 150mins/wk (moderate)
• 3days/wk
– Resistance-training exercise
•
•
•
•
•
Moderate intensity
3 sets of 8-10 repetitions
All major muscle groups
Weight cannot be lifted > 8-10times
3days/week
Tips on DM patients
• Postpone exercise if
– Hstix > 16.5mmol/L
– Hstix >13mmol/L with ketones in urine
• Monitor Hstix before, (during) and after
exercise
• Ideal pre-exercise 6.7 – 10mmol/L
• Ingest Carbohydrate : Hstix 4.45.5mmol/L2
Tips on DM patients
• Avoid late evening exercise →nocturnal
hypoglycemia
• prevent injury
– peripheral neuropathy
– Lower extremity care
– Swimming/cycling/rowing better than walking/jogging
• Autonomic neuropathy
– Blunted BP/P response
– Postural hypotension
– Heat stroke
Tips on DM patients
•
•
Silent myocardial ischemia
Proliferative retinopathy
–
–
Consult opthalmologist
Low-impact exercise
•
•
Adequate hydration

The greatest mistake physicians make is
that they attempt to cure the body without
attempting to cure the mind; yet the mind
and body are one and should not be treated
separately!
