Q

What is the function of the respiratory system

A

Inhalation: oxygen is brought into the lungs and enter alveoli, and then passed into capillaries to oxygenate blood. Blood is then sent to the left side of the heart to pass through the body, repeating the process.
exhalation: Carbon dioxide is emitted

25
Why is ATP useful
- When broken down, it releases energy in a useful form for muscle movement -generates heat when broken down -only compound in the body that can provide immediate source of energy -must be available for all muscles to be able to contract
26
Define the properties of anaerobic exercise
- does not use oxygen -for short term, high intensity exercise -provides ATP at the beginning -ATP is produced through glycolysis, which results in build up of lactic acid -only uses carbohydrate as energy source
27
Define the properties of aerobic exercise
-uses oxygen -for prolonged exercise, shits from carbs to fats as primary energy source -primary system for cardiorespiratory endurance -relies on O2 for ATP production -Protein, fats and carbohydrates can be used to produce ATP -is used for most daily activities
28
How do you calculate a carotid pulse?
location- on neck behind jawline -press in and back- using index and middle finger -start pulse count on 0 not 1 -At rest: count for 60 seconds -during exercise: for 10 seconds then multiply by 6 to get bpm
29
How do you calculate radial pulse?
-on the wrist 1 cm below the thumb -use middle and index finger, do not use thumb because thumb has a pulse -start pulse count on 0 not 1 -At rest: count for 60 seconds -during exercise: for 10 seconds then multiply by 6 to get bpm
30
What is the primary pacemaker?
SA node
31
draw the pulmonary circuit and the systematic circuit
32
can stroke volume increase during exercise?
yes
33
what is a-VO2 (Arteriovenous oxygen difference)
the difference in oxygen between arterial and venous blood (blood that travels through the veins): shows the amount our body took up- increases during exercise.
34
what is the maximum heart rate for our age range?
200bpm
35
what is VO2
volume of oxygen consumed per minute ml/kg/min ml of blood
36
at what minute does your body switch from primary carb to primarly fat
at 30 mins it begins to decrease, between 50-60 it switches
37
what are the responses to exercise
* Heart rate increase * Stroke volume increases * Cardiac output increases * Breathing rate increases
38
what are the adaptations to exercise
* Resting heart rate decreases * Maximum stroke volume increases * VO2 max increases * Respiratory muscle endurance improves * Muscles' capacity to produce aerobic energy increases-mitochondria increase * Adaptations are lost/reversed if exercise is stopped for an extended period
39
what are the health benefits of cardiorespiratory endurance
* Lower risk of cardiovascular disease (C VD) * Increased longevity * Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes * Lower blood pressure * Increased bone density in weight-bearing bones * Improved self-esteem and body image * Improved muscle tone and easier weight control * Improved sleep quality * Increased energy
40
how do you evaluate cardiorespiratory endurance?
* 1.5-mile run test – One of the simplest and most accurate tests * 1-mile walk test – Similar to 1.5-mile run test (good for sedentary individuals) * Cycle ergometer test – Non-weight-bearing (good for people with joint problems) * Step test – Can be performed by people at any fitness level
41
what is the relationship between training intensity and VO2 max improvement?
from low, to moderate to high it increases. then at high it plateaus
42
what is the least amount of exercise intensity you should do to see an improvement of VO2 Max
moderate
43
why is VO2 max different between sexes?
Muscle mass Hemoglobin mass (amount of oxygen carried) Heart/Lung size
44
what is the response to exercise?
– Short-term (acute) changes that occur during and immediately after exercise – E.g., Heart rate (HR) increases during exercise * Adaptations to exercise
45
what is the adaptation to exercise?
– Changes over time that accrue with regular exercise – E.g., with exercise training over months, resting HR reduces -pumping capabilities increase
46
how does heart size adapt to exercise?
-internal dimensions of the left ventricle increase mostly due to an increase in ventricular filling. -The wall thickness of the left ventricle increases, making the potential contraction of the left ventricle more forceful.
47
how does stroke volume change with endurance training
athletes are able to pump more blood per heartbeat, stroke volume increases rest and during submaximal and maximal exercise.  Increases in end-diastolic volume, caused by an increase in blood plasma and greater diastolic filling time, contribute to increased SV.  The increased size of the heart allows the left ventricle to stretch more and fill with more blood. (Frank-starling mechanism)
48
how do you design your exercise program?
1- Set goals (short-term and long-term) 2- Warm-up (5–10 minutes of low-intensity exercise) 3- Workout (FITT principle) – Frequency (e.g., 3–5 times per week) – Intensity (e.g., 50–85% of maximal heart rate) ▪ Training threshold ▪ Target heart rate (THR) ▪ Heart rate reserve (HRR) ▪ Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) – Time/duration (e.g., 20–60 minutes per session) – Type/mode of exercise (e.g., jogging, cycling, rowing) 4- Cool-down (light exercise and stretching)
49
how do you calculate maximal heart rate and what is the tanaka equation?
max HR =206.9 - (0.67xage in years)
50
what happens to your maximum heart rate as you age?
it decreases
51
how do you estimate RPE?
- consider overall effort – Breathing rate – Amount of sweating – Muscle fatigue
52
what are the VO2 max range ratings per age?
53
how is rpe measured?
15-point scale, ranging from 6 to 20 – 6 on the scale means that there is no level of exertion – 8–11 on the scale is common during the warm-up or cool-down phase of the workout – 12–16 on the scale will correspond with the target heart rate range for most people
54
what are the exercises and activities that can improve cardio?
Aerobics classes (moderate intensity step aerobics) Bicycling (moderate intensity) Bicycling (mountain biking) Bicycling (stationary cycle—moderate intensity) Circuit training Cross-country skiing (moderate intensity) Elliptical machine (moderate intensity) Hiking Rowing machine (moderate intensity) Running (8.5-minute mile) Skipping rope (moderate pace) Soccer Spinning classes (moderate intensity) Swimming (fast, freestyle) Walking (brisk;) water aerobics Wii Fit game Zumba (moderate intensity)
55
what is the minimum intesnsity of exercise to improve VO2
moderate, at least 50%
56
what does HIIT result in
– Results in both cardiovascular and skeletal muscle adaptations – Results in aerobic metabolic changes – Can safely be incorporated into the exercise routine of most individuals
57
what is HIIT intensity?
58
how do you calculate relative VO2?
QxA-vO2diff //Q=stroke volumexheart rate, then divide by bw
59
what are exercise adaptations in a-vo2 diff
-increase in the size and density of mitochondria and its enzymatic activity : allow each mitochondrion to extract more oxygen from blood in a given time, to make ATP -increase in capillary density of skeletal muscle
60
how do you develop individual exercise prescription
1-initial conditioning phase 2-improvement phase 3-maintenance phase
61
describe the initial conditioning phase
-2-6 weeks -comfortable intensity level -increase duration or intensity gradually (10%) -be aware of body pain and rest when needed
62
describe the improvement phase
-ranges from 12-40 weeks -progress slower than initial -increase duration and frequency first then intensity
63
describe the maintenance phase
-16-28 weeks of training -fitness goals achieved -Continue exercising regularly, but no need to continue increasing duration, frequency, and intensity
64
what are the training techniques?
1-endurance training 2-cross training 3-cross training
65
describe endurance training
Any type of exercise aimed at improving cardiorespiratory endurance (most common type is continuous activity)
66
describe cross training
– Alternate multiple training modes – May reduce boredom in training sessions – May reduce risk of overuse injuries – Improves overall cardiorespiratory endurance, not training specificity – Some people enjoy increased variety
67
describe interval training
– Often used by athletes and others who are at a higher fitness level – Uses repeated sessions (intervals) of higher-intensity exercises alternated with lower-intensity exercises – May be used to spur gains in intensity during improvement phase – Should not be done on a daily basis
68
how do you stay motivated?
-schedule a regular time to exercise -create goal -record progress -track changes -keep program enjoyable
