Document Summary
Lecture 2 september 19, 2017: the positive impact of pa is well established yet many canadians remain physically inactive, 15. 4% of canadian adults achieved the recommended 150 mins of moderate-vig. In combination with evidence-based screening tools: pre-physical activity participation screening. In practice, a major shortcoming of this pre-participation screening process, is that a number of different pre-exercise bp cut-points are recommended by various organizations (systolic/diastolic) <130/80 mmhg, <140/90 mmhg, 200 mmhg smp / 110 mmhg dbp: strong evidence for the benefits of exercise for individuals with pre-hypertension. Individuals with diagnosed hypertension who have a resting b if less than 160/90 mmhg and are medically stable are considered low risk: hypertensions classification table. If use something too conservative then no one would be able to exercise - <130/80mmhg: exercise and bp, eicher et all (2010) examined the effects of different pa intensities on ambulatory bp.
