Cardiovascular Disease Program You will design a 4-week exercise program that addresses the population’s specific needs. You will be provided the case study to develop the program. CASE STUDY: Barbara is 55 years of age and teaches high school English. Her cardiovascular risk factor profile includes a 30-pack-year history of cigarette smoking and altered lipid levels. Her HDL is only 35 mg/dL and her LDL is 145 mg/dL. Patient J has tried with little success to control her cholesterol with diet. Recently, she began taking gemfibrozil as prescribed by her family physician but has not followed his recommendation to quit smoking and enroll in a smoking cessation program at a local hospital. Rather, she continues to smoke one pack of cigarettes per day. The program will address all the components of fitness and improvement of health A summation paper (Pages: 3 to 5 or more if necessary) will be included with your program explaining the reasons for the exercise selection, frequency, volume, intensity and rest periods that are in the program. Your summation paper will discuss how the disease impacts the programming and what are the expectations. You will provide 5 peer-reviewed references that will be properly cited in the summation Content Point Percentage Breakdown: What are contraindications and concerns for the population? (15%) What tests and evaluations would be used and why? (15%) What references support your analysis and recommendations? (10%) What are stresses and pharmacological considerations for the disease? (20%) Is the physical training program safe and effective for the population? (40%)
