Q

Define cardiac output.

A
  • amount of blood pumped per minute
  • HRxSV
  • more blood pumped per minute = less beats, heart gets a break

Q

What can we use to make ATP?

A
  • carbohydrates: glucose, glycogen = ATP
  • fat: triglycerides (adipose tissue) = ATP
  • protein: breakdown of amino acids = ATP (does not normally occur)

Q

What are the benefits of cardiorespiratory endurance training (7)?

A
  • decreased resting HR, improved efficiency of the heart
  • blood pressure
  • blood lipids
  • capillaries
  • metabolic efficiency
  • mitochondria
  • VO2 max, performance benefits

Q

Name 4 performance related benefits of cardiorespiratory endurance and VO2 max.

A
  • VO2 max: the maximal ability of the body to take up, transport, and utilize oxygen
  • measure of fitness
  • can be estimated
  • correlated to performance measures (enhanced VO2 = enhanced performance)
