• 30% of Americans meet the minimal recommendations for physical activity

• >33 % of Americans report no physical activity at all

• Prevalence of obesity has more than doubled since 1990

• Deaths due to physical inactivity/poor diet may soon exceed tobacco use as the leading cause of preventable death (CDC, 2004)

Exercise Statistics

3 DOS Nurse Course 2012

Benefits of Regular Physical Activity

• Reduces the risk of – Dying prematurely– Dying from heart disease– Stroke– Developing diabetes– Developing high blood pressure– Developing colon cancer

• Helps– Reduce BP in HTN– Control weight– Build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints– Older adults become stronger, less fall risk

• Promotes psychological well-being– Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety

• Exercise effects most body systems

• Skeletal muscle demand rises quickly --up to 50x resting rate during heavy exercise.

• Cardiovascular and respiratory responses must adapt rapidly to meet these demands

• Disease in any of theses systems can effect the exercise response with subsequent effects on exercise tolerance.

• Highest rate of O2 consumption attainable during maximal or exhaustive exercise

• Maximum O2 uptake attained during incremental bilateral leg exercise used to provide an overall assessment of exercise capacity

• If normal there is likely limited pathology in the musculoskeletal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems

• Increases with training and decreases with age

• 2 twitch types– Type I - red or slow fibers

–High oxidative capacity, fatigue-resistant, low-level endurance exercise

– Type II - white or fast fibers–High glycolytic capacity, recruited for short bursts of rapid, heavy work

• ATP Energy sources – Hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) results in muscular

contraction – Intracellular stores of ATP are small, must be continually

replenished

• Fatigue depends upon intensity and duration of exercise– Accumulation of metabolic byproducts– Depletion of high energy phosphates– Depletion of glycogen substrate

Skeletal Muscle

Exercise physiology; David M Systrom, MD, FRCPC UptoDate 2011

7 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• Lactate threshold (LT)– Metabolic rate at which bypass the Krebs cycle and become

anaerobic

• LT occurs at > 40% of predicted VO2 max in normal individuals but earlier in exercise among patients with CV issues

• Exercise intensity must approach LT for optimal training effects to occur

• Endurance athlete will not reach LT until 80 – 90% of VO2max and usually competes at metabolic rate just below LT

• Cardiac output– Increases during incremental exercise through changes in both

heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV).

• Maximal HR – Decreases as a function of age

– Maximal HR = 220 - age (in years)

• Systemic circulation– Blood flow during exercise is preferentially directed to working

muscle and away from less metabolically active tissues such as gut and kidney

• Pulmonary circulation– Normally receives >95 percent of the cardiac output and does so

with minimal resistance

Circulation

Exercise physiology; David M Systrom, MD, FRCPC UptoDate 2011

9 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• Children and adolescents (aged 6–17)– ≥ 60 min. physical activity daily

– Most should be moderate to vigorous aerobic activity

– At least 3 days/wk should also involve muscle and bone-strengthening activity

• Adults 18–64 yo and > 65 yo– 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity, or 75 min of vigorous-intensity

aerobic activity, or equivalent combo in ≥10 min increments

– Muscle-strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups performed on ≥ 2 days/wk

– Older adults - follow the adult guidelines as abilities allow

• Level of effort required to do an activity

• How physical activity affects HR and breathing.– Talk test for relative intensity

– Moderate-intensity activity - can talk but not sing

– Vigorous-intensity activity - can say a few words before pausing for breath.

• Target HR = 70-85% of max HR

• Several meds lower max HR, lower target HR zone– Beta blockers

– Anti-arrhythmic medications

– Calcium blockers and digoxin

– H-2 blockers

Exercise Intensity

http://www.health.gov/PAGuidelines/factsheetprof.aspx

11 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• Moderate Intensity– Walking briskly (≥3 mph)– Water aerobics– Bicycling slower than 10 mph– Tennis (doubles)– Ballroom dancing– General gardening

• Vigorous Intensity– Race walking, jogging, or running– Swimming laps– Tennis (singles)– Aerobic dancing– Bicycling ≥10mph– Jumping rope– Heavy gardening (continuous digging or hoeing)– Hiking uphill or with a heavy backpack

• 45 min vigorous exercise resulted in “burning” additional 190 cal over proceeding 14 hrs

• Total energy expenditure difference between rest days and exercise days is almost 750 calories

• Vigorous exercise creates a positive energy balance that may allow for better wt loss and wt regulation plans

• Exercising can help us feel full

• Exercise changes brain to help us make better food choices

• Exercise aids in inhibitory control

• Increased exercise and physical activity changes brain to help control eating

• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder in which breathing is interrupted during sleep– Associated with possible structural changes

– Associated with episodes of in-effective breathing or shallow breaths, resulting in low PO2

– Chronic loud snoring.

– Frequent arousals resulting in ineffective sleep and chronic sleep deprivation

– Excessive daytime sleepiness

– Decreased life expectancy

Sleep Apnea Definition NIH

23 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• OSA also occurs in children – Enlarged tonsils or adenoids

– Preschool-age

• Treatment for OSA– Behavioral therapy

– Use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

– Surgery to increase airway size

– Tonsil or adenoid removal usually gives 100% benefit in children

• Polysomnogram (PSG) - sleep study

• Gold standard diagnostic test for OSA and other sleep d/o

• During PSG, pt sleeps while connected to monitoring devices, technologist records physiologic variables

• There are no contraindications to PSG and few complications

• Variables assessed: – Sleep stages

– Respiratory effort

– Airflow

– O2 sat

– Electrocardiography

– Body position

– Limb movements

How To Test For Sleep Apnea

27 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• Mild sleep apnea may be improved by wt loss or sleep position

• More severe sleep apnea requires CPAP: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

• This is administered via nasal/face mask

• Barriers to CPAP– Pride – Access to a machine – Convenience – Portability of the machine

• Men are most resistant to screening and treatment– Relationship to sexual dysfunction

• Surgical management may be option– Managed by ENT

CPAP

29 DOS Nurse Course 2012

• Apnea - hypopnea index (AHI) – Index of sleep apnea severity – Combines apneas and hypopneas. – Must last ≥10 sec– Decrease in blood oxygenation

• Overall sleep apnea severity score – Number sleep disruptions – Degree of oxygen desaturation

• AHI = dividing the number of events by the total hours of sleep– 5-15/hr Mild– 15-30/hr Moderate– > 30/h Severe

• Primary snoring – Snoring without obstructive apnea– Frequent arousals from sleep– Gas exchange abnormalities – Usually considered benign

• Going West is easier than going East

• Readjustment occurs 1 hr/day when traveling eastward

• Readjustment occurs at 1.5 hr/day while traveling westward

• Jet lag takes days to subside, roughly equal to two-thirds of the number of time zones crossed

• Travelers who remain on home-based hours are less sleepy than those who adopt local sleep hours

• People traveling east would do better by avoiding light exposure on arrival, either by remaining in darkness in the hotel room, or by wearing dark sunglasses when outdoors. Wearing sunglasses during transit to the hotel also helps avoid light exposure.

• Most field studies have found that nightly doses of melatonin (2–8 mg) improve the quality of sleep or alleviate daytime symptoms of jet lag, or both.

• Preflight melatonin has been studied – beginning up to 3 days before departure at clock hours corresponding

to the nocturnal sleep period at the travel destination (consistent times daily), and then for a subsequent 3 to 4 days between a destination time of 22:00 and 00:00 hours (i.e., at bedtime).

• Several other studies further simplified this regimen, with participants taking nocturnal melatonin only on arrival at the destination, either for eastward or for westward travel.

• Melatonin is a nutritional supplement and is not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), purity may be questionable.

• Short-term use of melatonin in total daily doses of 10 mg or less in healthy adults appears to be safe.

"Heavy head," disorientation, nausea, and unspecified GI problems

• Potential interactions with warfarin and antiepileptics reported but not studied

• Avoid ETOH with melatonin

• Use of hypnotics is common but not evidence-based

• Caffeine has more nocturnal sleep complaints

• Recent trial armodafinil (Nuvigil) found less sleepiness and decrease in jet leg symptoms with a dosage of 150 mg than with placebo

• Travelers should use eating, exercise, sightseeing and exposure to light to try to synchronize their body rhythms with those of the new environment

• Adult travelers crossing five or more time zones are likely to benefit from melatonin, especially if they have prior experience with jet lag

• Travelers crossing two to four time zones may also try melatonin

• Pharmaceutical quality of melatonin not regulated in many countries- buy from a trustworthy source- GMP
