2. Cardiorespiratory Responses to Endurance Exercise Flashcards
What are the Cardiovascular Responses in Exercise (3 points)
- Increased muscle metabolism
- Increased fuel and oxygen delivery is required
- Cardiovascular system responds immediately to increase blood supply
What happens to arterioles as muscles begin exercising
the arterioles serving the muscle Dilate to provide more blood flow
What are arterioles (2 points)
- Smooth muscle in wall can contract to constrict (narrow) the vessel or relax to dilate (widen) the vessel
- Act to control blood flow
What do active muscles in exercise release and what do they cause
CO2
Pi
H+
K+
Vasodilation of arterioles
Increased blood flow
What do Precapillary
sphincters in capillaries do
Regulate blood flow
Resting HR
60-80 bpm
influenced by exercise, heat, altitude
pre-exercise hr
above normal levels
anticipatory response
sympathetic ns releases norepinephrine
Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic
s - fight or flight
p - relaxation
Autonomic NS that increases HR rest - 100 bpm
Decreased parasympathetic input to the sinoatrial (SA) node
Autonomic system that increases HR 100 bpm - HR max
Increased sympathetic
input to the SA node
at exercise onset HR :
↑ in proportion to ↑ exercise
intensity
At Maximal exercise hr:
HR begins to plateau (even if
workload continues to increase)
Maximal heart rate (HRmax) is:
highest value achieved in all-out
effort to point of volitional fatigue
from age 10-15 years, hrmax
decreases 1ish beat per year
HRmax estimation calculation
Tanaka equation
Tanaka equation
HRmax = 208 – 0.7 x age (years)
Stroke Volume
Amount of blood ejected with each contraction.
what is SV a major determinant of
cardiorespiratory endurance capacity at near maximal/maximal
exercises intensities.
SV determined by four factors:
- Venous return
- Ventricular distensibility
- Force of contraction
- Resistance to flow
what do 1. Venous return 2. Ventricular distensibility influence and determine (SV)
Influence filling capacity of ventricle
Determine end-diastolic volume (preload)
what do 3. Force of contraction
4. Resistance to flow influence and determine (SV)
Influence ventricle’s ability to empty
during systole (contraction)
Determine force which ejects blood & pressure which is expelled into arteries (aortic mean pressure; afterload)
Increased Stroke Volume in Exercise causes increased:
myocardial contractility
venous return
