You are going to perform a number of biomarkers on yourself. CAUTION: Before
testing your aerobic capacity, read and follow the "caution" in the
Appendix A. Instructions for measuring the biomarkers
are found in Appendix B. Some of the biomarkers are
blood tests. Your blood should be drawn once you have fasted for 12 hours. If
you have any concerns about fasting, you should contact the lab for advice first.
There are over six thousand draw sites in the U.S. alone.

ALTERNATIVE
MEDICINE QUESTIONNAIRES. (Alternative Medicine Questionnaire
depends on individual needs of client) Section A: Traditional
Chinese Medicine Section B: Ayurvedic Medicine Section C: Chiropractic
Medicine Section D: Anthroposophical Medicine Section E: Naturopathic
Medicine Section F: Homeopathic Medicine APPENDIX A CAUTION:
Before You Test Your Aerobic Capacity: It is important
to obtain a medical clearance before starting an exercise program or testing
your aerobic capacity. The following are the reasons one should see a doctor: 1.
History of heart disease, including heart attack, cardiac arrest, valve disease,
congestive heart failure, myocarditis, or any other heart disease treated
by a physician. 2. History of chest pain diagnosed by a physician as angina
pectoris. 3. Any known cardiac dysrhythmias (abnormal heart beats) or conduction
defects 4. History of stroke 5. Use of medications for the heart or blood
vessels during the last 3 months, including medicine for chest pain, dysrhythmias,
congestive heart failure, or hypertension (high blood pressure). Among these
are beta blockers (propranolol), digitalis, quinidine, procainamide, and nitroglycerin,
but if there is a question about a medicine, check with your doctor.
6. Any acute infectious disease (colds, flu, virus, etc.). 7. Neuromuscular,
musculoskeletal, or orthopedic disorders that would make walking uncomfortable
or dangerous. 8. Renal (kidney), hepatic (liver), or other metabolic
problems. 9. Resting blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg systolic or 100
mmkg diastolic. 10. Previous medical advice not to exercise. 11. If any
suspicion of yours that exercise may be harmful, do not begin an exercise program
or test your aerobic capacity. Adapted from the
Learn Program for Weight Control By Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D.
APPENDIX B: INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING THE BIOMARKERS
A
'biomarker' is by definition a characteristic whose value, when measured in a
large number of individuals, correlates significantly to quality of life
and longevity. Although the first five "Biomarkers"
listed in Section G are not true biomarkers, they represent important indicators
of how you are aging and how you will age in the future. 6.
Blood Pressure There are many opportunities to get your blood pressure measured.
You or one of your family may have a blood pressure monitor that you can use.
They are inexpensive and can be purchased at man y stores. You can often have
your 'free' blood pressure measured at your local drug store. You should record
both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Record at least three different
blood pressure measurements. 7. Caries Index
There are 32 permanent teeth made up of four kinds of teeth: incisor, canine,
premolar and molar. Simply inspect each tooth. Have someone count those teeth
that have "holes" or "fillings". The number of diseased teeth
(caries) should be written down and recorded. 8. Body
Mass Index a. Record your weight in pounds (with no or minimal clothes - best
done first on waking). b. Record your height (without shoes) in feet and inches.
We will calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). 9. Waist/Hip
Ratio Fat deposition about the waist and flank, as evidenced by a high ratio
of waist to hip circumference, is associated with a greater health risk than
fat deposition on the hips. Use a tape measure around your waist and record
the number. Your waist is found just under your lower ribs - often in line with
your belly button. Then measure the circumference of your hips - often this is
the widest part of your body (Put the first number over the second). 10.
Auditory Threshold Hold a watch to your ear. Discover how far away from the
ear it is still heard. Have someone measure this maximum distance. You can
'rub your fingers together' if you have a digital watch that is silent. 11.
Aerobic Capacity Construct a simple 12" high bench to step on (A few
concrete blocks and a wooden plank placed on top will do). Take your Heart Rate
for 1 minute before stepping up and down and record this (H.R. one). Then
step up and down for 3 minutes and immediately record your Heart Rate when finished
(H.R. two). Note: You should step up and down at rate of 24 steps/minute. 12.
Basal Metabolic Rate Record your: Age_____ Weight_____ Height_____ Sex_____ 13.
Muscle Strength You will need to borrow two 5-lb dumbbells if you are a woman
or two 10-lb dumbbells if you are a man. a. Upper Body:
Male: Count the number of 'push-ups' you can do. Female: Count the number
of "half" push-ups you can do. A half push-up is done by pushing up
with your arms with your knees bent (on all fours). Let your chest nearly touch
the floor each time and then push up with your arms. b.
Lower Body: Male: With a 10-lb dumbbell in each hand,
squat down to a near sitting position (from standing upright). Count the number
of squats you can do before you tire out. Female: With
a 5-lb dumbbell in each hand, squat down to a near sitting position (from standing
position). Count the number of squats you can do before you tire out.
14. Skin Elasticity Simply pinch the skin on the back of your hand between
your thumb and forefinger. How long does it take to flatten back out completely?
Repeat three times and place an A, B or C with each recording? a.
0-1 sec. b. 2-5 sec. c. 6-50 sec. 15. Axillary
Temperature Take your temperature for 3 days by placing a thermometer in your
armpit before getting out of bed each morning for 3 days. Record all three temperatures. 16.
Static Balance Stand on a flat surface. Keeping your eyes open, lift your
left foot if you are right handed (vice versa) about 6 inches off the ground while
bending your knee at a 45-degree angle. Have someone time you (and catch you if
necessary) to see how long you can do this without opening your eyes. Repeat this
three times and record all three. 17. Visual Accommodation
Slowly bring a newspaper to your eyes until the regular-size letters start to
blur. Have a friend measure the distance between the eyes and the paper with a
ruler. Do this either without glasses on with glasses corrected for distance (not
reading glasses). It is not how well you can read the print but at what point
it starts to blur. 18. Vital Capacity You need a
candle and a box of matches. Light the candle and try blowing it out; keep moving
the candle farther and farther away until you are unable to blow it out. Measure
the distance between you and the candle. Note: Try and have the candle at
the same height as your mouth. 19. Reaction Time
Have a friend suspend an 18" ruler between your thumb and middle finger.
Your friend lets the ruler go without warning and you catch it between your fingers
as quickly as possible. Note: Place the ruler with the 1" mark level with
the subject's fingers. Record the "number of inches" where the ruler
is caught. (Repeat this three times and record all three markings). 20.
Body Flexibility Stand with your bare feet 6 inches apart. Legs should be
straight - do not bend the knees. Now flexing at your waist, try and touch the
floor. If you can easily touch the floor (no bouncing) mark a zero. Otherwise,
have someone measure how many inches your fingertips are from the floor. Record
this number. |
