At the same time, haemoglobin carries carbon dioxide from body to capillaries

65
Q

Gaseous exchange 4

A

Carbon dioxide passes through alveoli and is breathed out

66
Q

Inspiration - at rest

A

Diaphragm-contracts which cause it to flatten
Intercostal muscles - contract causing the ribs to lift upwards and outwards
Chest cavity - increases in size which causes the air pressure to reduce and causes air to be sucked into lungs

67
Q

Expiration - at rest

A

Expulsion of air from lungs caused by reducing volume of chest cavity
Diaphragm - relaxes causing it to turn into its normal shape
Intercostal - relax lowering the ribs and making the chest cavity smaller
-causes an increase in the pressure of air in the lungs which forces the air out

68
Q

Inspiration - during exercise

A

Sternocleidomastoid and pectorals - contract and help to raise the sternum
Chest cavity - increases in size which allows the lungs to expand to allow more air in

69
Q

Expiration - during exercise

A

Abdominal - contract and pull the rib cage down

A

Decreasing the diameter of an artery to decrease blood flow to non essential areas of the body

82
Q

Diastole -what is the heart doing?

Oxy and deoxy

A

The heart is filling with blood - relaxing
Atria and ventricles reflex and valves are open
Deoxygenated blood flows into the right atrium
Oxygenated blood flows into the left atrium

83
Q

Systole - what is the heart doing?

What happens during this process?

A

The heart emptying - the heart is contracting
Right atrioventricular valve is forced closed - prevents backflow
RV contracts and forces blood out by pulmonary artery -lungs
LA empties into LV
LeftATV is forced closed - LV contracts forces blood out into aorta -body

84
Q

Heart rate

A

The number of beats per minute

85
Q

Cardiac output

A

The amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle if the heart per minute

86
Q

Stroke volume

A

The amount of blood pumped out if the left ventricle per beat

87
Q

Cardiac output equation

A

Cardiac output = stoke volume x heart rate

88
Q

What happens to the heart rate, stroke volume and cardiac output when you start to exercise?

A

Cardiac output increases because an increase in the heart rate causes an increase in the volume of blood released into the body

89
Q

What happens to your heart rate as you stop exercise?

A

Heart rate remains elevated and reduced slowly to allow recovery to take place

90
Q

Aerobic exercise

A

Relies on energy produced in the presence of oxygen

91
Q

Aerobic exercise is different to anaerobic exercise because …

A

Aerobic exercise can be maintained for a long period of time

60-80% of maximal heart rate is your aerobic training zone

92
Q

Who would use aerobic respiration?

A

Marathon runner, endurance cyclist

93
Q

Aerobic respiration equation

A

Glucose + oxygen — carbon dioxide + water

94
Q

Anaerobic exercise

A

Producing energy with the absence of oxygen during high intensity, short burst exercise
80-90% of maximal heart rate is your anaerobic training zone

95
Q

Anaerobic equation

A

Glucose — energy + lactic acid

96
Q

Who would use anaerobic exercise?

A

100m spring

Counter attack in football, basketball, hockey

97
Q

What is oxygen debt?

A

Oxygen debt is the temporary oxygen short in the body due to strenuous exercise

98
Q

What is epoc?

A

Amount of oxygen needed to recover after exercise
It is characterised by an increased breathing rate and deeper breathing
Epoc replenishes the body with oxygen
The lactic acid is converted into glucose, water and carbon dioxide

99
Q

Anaerobic epoc?

A

More lactic acid produced
More oxygen debt to repay
Takes longer to get rid of lactic acid

100
Q

What is a cool down?

A

It helps maintain a increased breathing rate and blood flow
Helps decrease the body temp and remove lactic acid
Assist the recovery as extra oxygen is required for the body to return to its ore exercise state

Reduces Dom’s
Easy to complete
No equipment
Aids the clearing of the waste products

104
Q

Stretching disadvantages

A

Boring

Make sure you don’t over stretch

105
Q

Drinking water

A

Water and electrolyte balance should be restored after exercise
Water is responsible for transporting nutrients, hormones and waste products around the body

106
Q

Rehydration and glycogen stores replenished

Replaces electrolytes and glucose very easily

108
Q

Disadvantages of drinking water

A

Can cause weight gain if strenuous exercise has not taken place

109
Q

Ice baths

Q

Advantages of ice baths

A

Simplistic and quick

Large group of muscles submerged at one time

111
Q

Ice baths disadvantages

A

Not nice to do - cold
May not be easily available
Achieve the same results by doing a cool down or stretching

112
Q

Immediate effects of exercise - hot and sweaty

A

Red skin is a sign the body makes to the reaction of exercise
It helps us to regulate our core temp by cooling us down
Sweat evaporates off the skin and vasodilation occurs for heat to be lost through radiation

113
Q

Immediate effects of exercise - heart rate

A

Increased heart rate - beats with a greater force - increases stroke volume
Muscles require more oxygen to continue to work effectively

114
Q

Immediate effects of exercise - increase in depth and frequency of breathing

A

Cause an increase in breathing - tidal volume

This allows more gaseous exchange to occur

115
Q

Short term effects of exercise - 24hrs -36hrs

A

Tiredness and fatigue

116
Q

Short term effects of exercise - light headedness

A

Feeling faint or dizzy which is normally due to over exertion
Often a person blood sugar levels and blood pressure will have dropped

117
Q

Short term effects of exercise - nausea

A

Feeling sick or vomiting which could occur during and after exercise
Main cause is over exertion during exercise or stopping quickly- heavy exercise causes blood to be taken away from the stomach which causes nausea

118
Q

Short term effects of exercise - Dom’s

A

As a result individuals may experience tender and painful muscles
Muscle soreness is a result of structural tears to the muscle fibres - allows muscles to repair stronger

119
Q

Short term effects of exercise - cramp

A

Involuntary and painful contractions of the muscles from fatigue or strain of the muscle fibres - dehydration - loss of mineral from sweating

120
Q

Long term effects of exercise - hypertrophy

A

Increase the size of the heart - the cardiac muscle in a trained athlete is larger and stronger - each beat forces out a larger amount of blood than a normal heart - Hypertrophy

121
Q

Long term effect of exercise - bradycardia

A

Decreased resting heart rate

Increase heart size means it takes less beats per minute to supply the body with enough oxygen at rest

122
Q

Long term effects of exercise - improvements to components of fitness

A

Improvements to muscular strength, endurance , speed, cardiovascular endurance and stamina all take months to develop

123
