Cardiorespiratory Fitness Flashcards
what is stroke volume?
amount of blood the heart pumps with each beat (mL/beat
what is cardiac output?
amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute (L/min)
how do you measure cardiac output?
stroke volume x heart rate
what happens to our blood pressure when exercising?
- systolic BP increases
- diastolic BP decreases or stays constant
what is the cardiac output at rest vs. during exercise?
- at rest: 4.5-6 L/min
- during exercise: 18-23 L/min
where can glycogen be stored?
liver, muscles, and kidneys
what are the 3 energy systems?
- immediate energy system (ATP-CP)
- nonoxidative energy system (glycolytic)
- oxidative energy system (aerobic)
what is the immediate energy system?
- provides energy rapidly for short periods of time (about 10s)
- uses ATP and creatine phosphate to rapidly produce ATP
- no oxygen used
what is the non-oxidative energy system?
- used at the start of exercise for high intensity exercise (10s-2min)
- rapid ATP production
- little oxygen used
- produces lactic acid
what is an example of an activity that uses the immediate energy system?
weight lifting, shot put
what is an example of an activity that uses the non-oxidative energy system?
400m run
what is the oxidative energy system?
- used for physical activity that lasts longer than 2 minutes
- slower, prolonged ATP production
- uses oxygen
what is an example of an activity that uses the oxidative energy system?
jogging, swimming, hiking
what is VO2 max?
the maximal amount of oxygen that can be inspired, transported and utilized at the working muscle
what does physical fitness relate to?
relates to how the body responds to the demand for energy
