Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: Case Studies

Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: Case 1: CY CHAN M/43 Smoker (1.5 p/d X 25 yrs) PMH: HT on med under good control FH: Father died from a heart attack at age 60 Works as a construction site labourer No SSx of cardiorespiratory disease Body height = 173cm; Body weight = 80kg Total cholesterol = 8 mmol/L Fasting glucose = 5.4 mmol/L  You want to suggest CY to perform aerobic and resistance Ex You would like to stratify his risk to see if he should need further medical workup or exercise testing before increasing his PA level

Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: Case 1: Risk Stratification FOUR Risk Factors Cigarette smoking HT Hypercholesterolaemia Obesity (BMI 26.7kg/m 2 ) CY CHAN is not: Sedentary ∵ his physically active job Having FH of heart disease ∵ his father’s heart attack occurred >55 Hyperglycemic

Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: According to the ACSM Risk Stratification Scheme Although Mr. CHAN is considered to be young (<45), he is in the moderate-risk category For performing low- to moderate-intensity PA – Further medical workup and exercise testing not necessary – A sub-maximal exercise test can offer a comprehensive appraisal of his condition For embarking on a vigorous exercise programme, he would need further medical clearance from specialists or equivalent professionals

Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: Case 2: KC CHAN M/56, moderate-risk He is worried about his own health ∵ His old friend suffered a heart attack a week ago He wants to control his body weight  to reduce his risk of heart disease You are going to advise him to embark on moderate- intensity aerobic exercises on regular basis. His resting HR = 86 bpm What would be an appropriate target HR range for Mr. CHAN?

Co-organised by: Sponsored by: Supported by: Case 2: Prescribing Exercise Intensity KC’s maximal heart rate (HR max ) = 220 – 56 = 164bpm (A) %HR max Method Target HR range = 64 –76% of HR max = 164(0.64) to 164(0.76) = 105bpm - 125bpm (B) %HRR Method Target HR range = 40 –59% of HRR = (0.4)(164-86)+86 to (0.59)(164-86)+86 = 117bpm - 132bpm
