acute responses Flashcards
oxygen consumption
- when at rest demand for ATP is smaller so requires minimal oxygen consumption
- body stores minimal amounts of oxygen
- oxygen in the bloodstream is directly proportional to the amount used by your tissue for oxidative metabolism
- as intensity increases the consumption of oxygen increases to allow greater levels of ATP
oxygen deficit
- oxygen uptake increases as the body attempts to meet the increased oxygen demand of the working muscles
- increased oxygen uptake and transport to the working muscles
- muscles utilize and consume oxygen
- transition from rest to exercise: short fall between the amount of oxygen required for an exercise so anaerobic systems will be dominant
steady state
-one minute or more
- steady state =oxygen supply is equal to oxygen demand
- exercise intensity is being supplied aerobically so that there is no need for further increase in oxygen uptake (little reliance on the anaerobic systems
- coincides with a plateau in heart rate
Excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption
- Is taking up transporting and consuming more oxygen than is required at low intensity
- Trying to return to pre exercise state
what is an acute response to exercise
whenever an individual engages in exercise, the body responds physiologically to meet the increased energy demands of the activity. These immediate short-term responses that last only for the duration of the activity and recovery are referred to as acute responses
acute responses to the respiratory system
define?
acute responses of the respiratory system to exercise are designed to facilitate an increase in the availability of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide
acute responses to the respiratory system
responses
- increased respiratory frequency
- increased tidal volume
- increased ventilation
- increased pulmonary diffusion
- increased oxygen uptake
tidal volume
how much air is inspired and expired per breath
mechanism for increased ventilation
when we begin to exercise receptors in the muscles stimulate an increase in ventilation. this increases in respiration is triggered by an increase co2 and H+ ions levels in the blood (mechanism for increased ventilation). the entire process is controlled by the respiratory control system in the brain
ventilation at sub-maximal intensity
- at the onset of submaximal exercise, RR , TV and ventilation increase quickly then plateau
- during light to moderate exercise the relationship between exercise and vo2 and intensity is linear
ventilation at higher intensities
- as intensity increases TV plateaus
- any further increase in ventilation is due to an increase in RR
- at progressively higher intensities the increase in ventilation is no longer in proportion (not linear) vo2 or intensity
- ventilation continues to increase non-linearly as intensity increases due to increased H+ and CO2 in blood
anticipatory responses to exercise
the heart rate actually rises above the resting values just before the start of exercise. this is called an anticipatory increases response. the anticipatory increase in heart rate that occurs prior to beginning exercise is largely due to the release of epinephrine ( adrenaline)
increased pulmonary diffusion (gaseous exchange )
exercise increases the rate of gas exchange pulmonary diffusion increases and more o2 diffuses into the bloodstream and is delivered to the heart to be pumped to the working muscles
cardiovascular system comprises of
- Heart rate
- Blood
- Blood vessels ( veins, capillaries, arteries)
acute responses to the cardiovascular system define
the cardiovascular systems role is to deliver blood and oxygen to the muscles and assists with the removal of carbon dioxide
Acute responses to the cardiovascular system responses
- Increased heart rate
- Increased stroke volume
- Increased cardiac output (Q)
- Increased blood flow to working muscles
- Increased blood pressure
- increased arteriovenous oxygen difference ( avo2 difference)
