6. Adaptation to aerobic training Flashcards
Cardiac output
amount of blood pumped in a minute by the heart. Q = stroke volume x HR
Stroke volume
quantity of blood pumped in a heart beat, by the left ventricle
Cardiac output volume at rest and maximal effort
5 L at rest and 20 - 22 L during max effort
Hormones for the systole
catecholamines with epinephrine
Frank starling mechanism
Myocardial fibers are stretched by the pressure of the blood and result with a more forceful contraction
Maximal oxygen update
amount of oxygen that can be used at cellular level by the entire body
Fick equation
VO2 formula = HR X Stroke V. X arteriovenous O2 difference. For common unit you have to divide then for the weight
Rate pressure product
Systolic pressure x HR
Systolic and Diastolic pressure in normal and maximal situation
120 - 80 mmhg more or less in rest situation. Systolic could up to 220 - 260 mmhg in max, diastolic remain stable or less.
Minute ventilation
Ventilation actions x minute. Rest 12 - 15, work 35 - 45
Tidal volume TV
Volume of air x each breath. 0.4 - 1 L rest, 3 L work
Ventilatory equivalent
Relationship minute ventilation x oxygen uptake
How is divided the air in the Tidal volume
Alveoli chamber, anatomical (nose, mouth trachea) and physiological (not working alveoli) dead space
Diffusion
Movement of air through the cell membrane, from high to low % of concentration
1g Hemoglobin could carry..
1.34 ml of oxygen. So 100ml of blood is 20ml of oxygen
OBLA
blood lactate accumulation
Bradicardia
Result of aerobic training adaptation, with parasympathetic tone increased, less beat of heart but with more volume
Adaptation of aerobic training
6 to 12 months. Maximal cardiac output and stroke volume. Capillary density. TV and breath frq. Delayed fatigue and coordination of synergist muscles.
Glycogen sparing
Adaptation of endurance. Using more fat instead of glycogen.
Muscular fibers adaptation in aerobic training
Increased number and size of mitochondria. Capacity of muscle to extract and use oxygen.
Bone adaptation of aerobic training
Only with high intensity actions or weighted bearing activity.
Elite athlete doesn’t improve more in VO2max so..
They improve in the running economy and efficency
Altitude training measure and effects
Higher to 1200m, where there’s less oxygen partial pressure. Increase in ventilation and HR. In 10-14 days you increase the red cells production
