Acute Responses Glossary Flashcards

1
Q

Acute Responses

A

The body’s immediate, short-term responses that last only for the duration of the training or exercise session and for a short time period (recovery) afterwards.

Q

Cardiac Acute Responses

A

When we engage in exercise, certain changes occur immediately within the cardiovascular system to meet the increased energy demands imposed on the body by the activity being undertaken.

Q

Max Heart Rate

A

The highest heart rate value achieved in a maximal effort to the point of exhaustion.
MHR = 220 - age (years)

Q

Cardiac Output (Q)

A

The total amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle of the heart per minute.
Q (L/min) = SV x HR

Q

Systemic Blood Flow

A
  • The blood flow around the body.
  • Blood leaves the left ventricle of the heart via the aorta.
  • Blood travels via the arteries and capillaries to the body.
  • Blood returns to the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cava.

16
Q

Arteriovenous Oxygen Difference (Av-O2 diff)

A

A measure of the difference in the oxygen concentration in the arterial blood and venous blood.

17
Q

Blood Volume

A

The total quantity of blood in the body (plasma and cellular).

18
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

The process where blood vessels narrow or constrict as a response to a decreased demand for oxygen delivery to the muscle.

19
Q

Respiratory Responses

A

When we engage in exercise, certain changes occur immediately within the respiratory system. These acute responses are designed to meet the increased energy demands imposed on the body by the activity being undertaken.

20
Q

Respiratory Rate (RR)

A

The number of breaths per minute.

21
Q

Tidal Volume (TV)

A

The amount of air inspired and expired per breath.

22
Q

Ventilation (V)

A

The total amount of air inspired or expired by the lungs per minute.
V = RR x TV

23
Q

Pulmonary Diffusion

A

The process whereby oxygen is taken in via the lungs to the blood, and carbon dioxide is diffused from the blood to the lungs.

24
Q

Muscular Responses

A

When we engage in exercise, acute responses also occur in the muscles themselves as the body responds to the increased energy demands imposed by the activity undertaken.

25
Q

Motor Unit Recruitment

A

The number and frequency of motor units recruited for muscle contractions.

26
Q

Muscle Temperature

A

The degree or intensity of heat present in the muscles.

27
Q

Oxygen Uptake (VO2)

A

Volume of oxygen that can be taken up and used by the body.

28
Q

Metabolic By-Products

A

Substances leftover from metabolic processes. E.g. hydrogen ions, lactate.

29
Q

Substrate Stores

A

Fuel stores required for ATP resynthesis. E.g. Glycogen, Triglycerides, CP.
