20
Q
Importance of bone strengthening exercises
A
Builds bone mass and enhances bone structure to improve its overall strength (weight-bearing movements)
21
Q
Insulin
A
A hormone produced in the pancreas, which regulates the amount of glucose in the blood
22
Q
Hypoglycemia vs Hyperglycemia
A
- Hyperglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels are too high
- Hypoglycemia sets in when blood sugar levels are too low
23
Q
Glucose monitoring recommendations
A
Check levels before, during, and after exercise to prevent hypoglycemia, especially important for insulin users
24
Q
Healthy fasting blood glucose levels
A
Between 70 mg/dL and 100 mg/dL

33
General population exercise prescription recommendations (3)

- Moderate 3-5.9 METS, 40-59% HRR, RPE 12-
13, Noticeable increases in HR and breathing
- Vigorous >6 METS, >60% HRR, RPE>14, Substantial increases in HR and breathing
35

- Current Medical diagnosis?
36
Stages of change in the transtheoretical model (5)
- Precontemplation (not thinking about exercise)
- Contemplation (thinking about exercise)
- Preparation (getting ready to do exercise)
- Action (doing exercie)
- Maintenance (maintaing exercise)
IN ORDER
37
