Bergdahl- Chapter 21 Flashcards
what are the two necessary factors for training for a specific aerobic activity ?
1) engage appropriate muscles required
2) provide exercise at a level sufficient to stress the system (overload principle)
how does overloading specific muscle groups induce local specific changes ?
facilitates oxygen transport and aerobic power in the trained muscles.
why is aerobic improvement specific to active muscles ? 3 factors
1) increased microcirculation
2) more effective redistribution of CO
3) combined effect of both
what is the reversibility principle ?
that detraining can occur rapidly even in trained individuals
what is the initial values principle ?
that individuals with lower fitness deliver greatest training improvement
what are the 3 main changes occurring with anaerobic power training ?
1) increased level of anaerobic substrates
2) increased quantity and activity of key enzymes that control the anaerobic phase of glucose catabolism
3) increased capacity to generate and tolerate high levels of blood lactate during all-out exercise (possibly due to better tolerance to fatigue and increased levels of glycolytic enzymes)
when exercising at max, what is the limiting factor ?
the ability to extract O2 from capillaries (not the bringing O2 to tissues)
how does exercise influence fatty acid oxidation in different exercise conditions ?
it increases it at rest and at submax
how does energy source utilization change with training ?
reduce carbohydrate as fuel
in which fibers does aerobic training elicit metabolic adaptations ?
ALL.
slow twitch muscle fibers that adapt in order to generate more ATP have a large quantity of what ?
myoglobin
what are the attributes of cardiac hypertrophy ?
increase in heart mass
increase in heart volume (endurance have 25% larger heart volume than sedentary)
greater LV EDV during rest and exercise
what are the two different cardiac hypertrophies ?
eccentric hypertrophy (outward remodeling, increased size of LV) concentric hypertrophy (inward remodeling, thickening of walls)
what is the difference between functional and pathological cardiac hypertrophy ?
pathological: functionally inadequate organ. in hypertension,chronic work against excessive resistance, meaning muscle cells hypertrophy to compensate for increased work.
training: temporary myocardial stress with time to recuperate.
how is systolic and diastolic function different in functional cardiac hypertrophy ?
it isn’t
how is stroke volume and cardiac output different in functional cardiac hypertrophy ?
the values are higher.
how does exercise change plasma volume ?
after training, 12-20% increase in plasma volume
what does a plasma volume increase mean for other factors ?
increases EDV, SV, oxygen transport, VO2max, and temperature regulation
how does training change HR and in what exercise conditions?
decreases the intrinsic firing rate of the SA node, contributing to resting and SUBMAX exercise bradychardia
what kind of decrease of HR is found in training adaptations at rest and submax ?
rest: small decrease
submax: 12-15 bpm
how does HR reduction as training adaptation coincide with SV and CO?
HR decrease, SV and therefore CO increase
what kind of training changes SV ?
endurance training
regardless of age or gender
what are 4 factors that produce a SV increase as a training adaptation ?
1) increased internal left ventricular volume and mass
2) reduced cardiac and arterial stiffness
3) increased diastolic filling time
4) improved intrinsic cardiac contractile function
