Cardiopulmonary Responses to Acute Exercise Flashcards
What is a normal RHR range?
Normal: 60 - 100 (Typically: 65 - 85)
What is Bradycardia and what is it’s RHR range?
When resting heart rate is below normal. ( < 60 bpm)
What is Tachyardia and what is its RHR range?
When resting heart rate is above normal. ( > 100 bpm)
Endurance training favors parasympathetic or sympathetic dominance & why?
Endurance training favors parasympathetic dominance through increased vagal tone (reduced heart rate).
How does peripheral input regulate heart rate?
Through mechanoreceptors (active muscles) & baroreceptors (arterial blood pressure).
What is the anticipatory sympathetic HR response to exercise mediated by?
Norepi / Epi - mediated.
What is the most accurate assessment for calculating a person’s heart rate max?
A graded exercise stress test (GXT)
What is a normal stroke volume for a 70kg male?
70 ml
What are determinants of stroke volume?
Venous return, preload (filling time), and afterload (increased vascular resistance, semilunar damage)
At what point does stroke volume stope increasing with exercise intensity and plateau?
40 - 60 % VO2 max
What is cardiac output and what is its formula?
Volume of blood pumped per minute. Q = HR x SV.
What is a typical cardiac output / min?
70 beat/min x 70 mL/beat = 4.9 L/min
When stroke volume plateau’s, how does the body continue to raise its cardiac output keep up with exercise intensity?
Heart Rate will continue to rise (beats per minute) to elevate cardiac output to continue to meet exercise demand.
What is Max Q & what is it’s limit?
Max cardiac output: 20-40 L/min
What is a normal blood pressure (systolic & diastolic)
120 / 70-80
