This course focuses on adaptive exercise techniques for a variety of populations (i.e. children, pregnancy, older adults, disabilities, and chronic disease). Students will learn how to modify exercises and/or equipment to effectively and safely accommodate these groups.

| Description: | Pre-Exercise
- Complete client pre-screening
- Calculate 85% of client’s HR max and divide by 4 to get that data in a 15s count for easy comparison
- Calculate 50% and 70% of client’s HR max (warm-up range) and divide by 4 to get that data in a 15s count for easy comparison
- Explain purpose of test
- Discuss your client’s current experience with CV training to determine a starting speed for the treadmill.
- Explain that the warm-up will be 4 minutes at no incline, followed by a 5 minute exercise session at 5% incline.
- Explain to the client that each minute you will get their heart rate and that you would like them to step off the treadmill for that.
- Explain the purpose of the BORG scale and let the client know that you will ask for that information a couple of times
- Orient the client to the equipment and determine their comfort with stepping off of the treadmill
- Remind your client that you will be watching for their safety, but they should let you know if they feel pain or if they need to stop the test for any reason
- Start the treadmill between 2.0 and 4.5 mph and have the client step on after the belt is moving.
During Exercise
- Monitor client
- Properly encourage client
- Accurately obtain heart rate each minute and RPE each stage
- From the first heart rate reading determine an appropriate walking speed. Change the speed if necessary following the second heart rate reading (during warm-up)
- Increase the incline to 5.0% after 4 minutes of warm-up
- Continue to monitor heart rate every minute
- Use the fifth minute of a workload when steady state is not achieved (compare minutes 3 and 4 of workload)
Post-Exercise
- Provide active recovery (easy walking) for 3-5minutes
- Check HR every minute for 3-5 minutes
- Have your client sit for at least 3-5 minutes
- Check HR every minute
- Check BP on minute 1 and 3 (and possibly 5)
- Ensure HR and BP are below ceiling values
