Diseases Process
Instructed on some potential factors of decreased tolerance in response to increased physical activity, such as: diseases (e.g., congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, infections and endocrine disorders).
Instructed on some potential factors of decreased tolerance in response to increased physical activity, such as: sedentary life-style and/or prolonged bed rest, among others.
Instructed on some potential factors of decreased tolerance in response to increased physical activity, such as: effects of certain medications, pain and/or electrolyte imbalance, among others.
Taught that resting frequently during an activity to allow the heart to recover is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that sitting to perform an activity rather than stand, if possible, is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that scheduling activity when most tolerated (after rest periods and, at least, one hour after meals) is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that putting most frequently used items within easy reach is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that gradually increasing exercise with planned, scheduled rest periods, is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that stopping activity immediately if cardiac symptoms (e.g., chest pain, increased shortness of breath and/or excessive fatigue) occur is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
Taught that using adjunctive equipment (e.g., cane, walker) as directed by MD, is a measure aimed to increasing tolerance in response to increased physical activity.
