Exercise Stress Test

291
Introduction
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Human Performance

Background:

  • Laboratory exercises in exercise physiology are crucial for students to link theory to practice.
  • Classic lab protocols involve exhaustive incremental exercise to measure gas exchange and ventilatory responses.
  • Identifying the gas exchange threshold (GET) and respiratory compensation point (RCP) is fundamental for understanding exercise intensity, prescription, and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a blended laboratory model that enhances student learning of exercise thresholds.
  • To introduce the "Exercise Thresholds App," a free online resource designed to streamline data analysis and skill development.
  • To provide instructors with tools for evaluating student comprehension and engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of the "Exercise Thresholds App" as a central component of a blended laboratory model.
  • The app eliminates the need for postprocessing of exercise data, providing immediate feedback on threshold identification.
  • Incorporation of pre- and post-laboratory recommendations and a new quiz feature for assessment.

Main Results:

  • The "Exercise Thresholds App" significantly reduces the time and expertise burden associated with data interpretation.
  • Students demonstrate improved understanding, engagement, and satisfaction with the laboratory experience.
  • The app offers a valuable platform for practicing and refining exercise threshold identification skills.

Conclusions:

  • The "Exercise Thresholds App" offers an innovative and effective solution for teaching and learning exercise physiology thresholds.
  • This resource enhances the educational experience by providing immediate feedback and practice opportunities.
  • The app serves as a valuable tool for both students and instructors in exercise physiology education.
