52% will have a form of heart disease by the time they are 45 years old. Blood pressure is also known as a disease and a silent killer. This information is not gospel and you need to make the decision along with your family and healthcare provider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE QUESTION CAN YOU SKI OR RIDE and even RACE What about altitude since less oxygen is available at altitude by as much as 30% less O2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n RISKS<\/strong> – My observation is blood thinners and the issue of bleed out and internal bleeding to be so blunt. Many medicated stints use Effient and a basic touch causing bruising, or other blood thinners which can add risk or you must wait until off the medication. Does not appear altitude is a large factor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n MITIGATION <\/strong>– Labs, staying on appts with health professionals and medication. Carry a tourniquet, learn basic, trauma first aid, ski with friends, keep med info and other information on person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BASICS- Heart Rate max<\/strong> – one formula is 220 – age = MAX. VO2 Max is also used but most have to use formulas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Observations:<\/strong> Our data is for sea level, 1,300 ft run. When this data was compiled the added clamp of a beta-blocker for max HR had no effect (meaning 140 bpm with or without) I do not like aerobics so I would not consider myself a fan but I still scored well. A person who trains more aerobically will score higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wearing a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor I recorded this bpm. Sea level A stress test was performed 23 days after Stent placement. The test is 10 segments of 3 mins each. All raising the elevation and speed. I practiced protocol one time. The goal is to push the test the longest in time and max out the bpm -80-85%. During the test, an EKG and SW are monitoring the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MY Score<\/strong>– 10 mins, Above Average 135 BPM max 85% of MHR, 12.9 METs, LINKS FOR MORE STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n AGE<\/strong>\n <\/td> \n MAX\n HEART<\/strong>\n <\/td> \n 80%\n Train<\/strong>\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 20\n <\/td> \n 200\n <\/td> \n 160\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 30\n <\/td> \n 190\n <\/td> \n 152\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 40\n <\/td> \n 180\n <\/td> \n 144\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 45\n <\/td> \n 175\n <\/td> \n 140\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 50\n <\/td> \n 170\n <\/td> \n 136\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 55\n <\/td> \n 165\n <\/td> \n 132\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 60\n <\/td> \n 160\n <\/td> \n 128\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 65\n <\/td> \n 155\n <\/td> \n 124\n <\/td><\/tr> \n 70\n <\/td> \n 150\n <\/td> \n 120\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Racing runs are 1300 feet Nastar GS type. Beta-Blocker which clamps off the high bpm. Blood pressure and statin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting from car to resort, putting on boots, gear \u2013 90-100 bpm
Skiing easily on a green 100-110 bpm
Skiing Medium on a blue 110 bpm
Skiing hard\/ racing 136 bpm (data says 80-82% of BPM Max)
Resting HR is 55 bpm <\/p>\n\n\n\n
34 ml\/kg\/min VO2 max GOOD for my age and the fact I hate running.
(I stopped not because of heart but calf muscle discomfort) The VO2 max is based on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
