Q

Describe the respiratory response to acute aerobic exercise?

A

Large amounts of O2 diffuse from capillaries into the tissues> increased levels of CO2 move from blood into alveoli > min ventilation increases to maintain appropriate alveolar concentration of gases

16
Q

Why does lactic acid not accumulate in low to mod intensity exercise?

A

Enough O2 is available that lactic acid does not accumulate b/c removal rate is greater than or equal to the production rate

17
Q

Performance adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

Mitochondrial density: increases

19
Q

Metabolic energy stores adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

ATP: increases
Creatine phosphate: increases
Glycogen: increases
Triglycerides: increases

20
Q

Connective tissue adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

Ligament strength: increases
Tendon strength: increases
Bone density: no change

21
Q

Body composition adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

Body fat %: decreases

Fat free mass: no change

22
Q

What is required to achieve cardiovascular adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise?

A

Requires progression, variation, specificity, and overload

23
Q

What respiratory adaptations can be expected from chronic aerobic exercise?

A

Increased tidal vol and breathing frequency w/ max exercise

24
Q

Neural adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

More efficient overall and fatigue of contractile mechanisms are delayed

25
Q

Bone and Connective tissue adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

The extent to which tendons, ligaments, and cartilage grow and become stronger is dependent upon intensity exercises stimulus

26
Q

Endocrine adaptions from chronic aerobic exercise

A

Increases in hormonal circulation and changes are receptor level
High intensity aerobic training augments absolute secretion rates of hormones
Trained athletes have blunted response to submaximal exercise

27
Q

What is the most commonly measured adaptation to aerobic training?

A

Maximal O2 uptake- associated w/ an increase in max cardiac output

28
Q

What is most important factor for improving and maintain aerobic power?

A

intensity of training

29
Q

Aerobic endurance training results

A
Reduced body fat
Increased max O2 uptake
Increased respiratory capacity
Lower blood lactate concentration
Increased mitochondrial and capillary densities
Improved enzyme activity
30
Q

Name some external influences on the cardio respiratory response?

A

Altitude
Smoking
Blood doping
Hyperoxic breathing

31
Q

What is hyperoxic breathing?

A

Breathing oxygen enriched gas mixtures during rest periods or following exercise to positively affect exercise performance

32
Q

How can altitude affect the cardio respiratory response?

A

Increased pulmonary ventilation

Increased cardiac output at rest and during submax exercise due to increases in HR

33
Q

At what altitude can changes in cardio respiratory response begin to occur?

A

Elevations greater than 3900 feet (1200m)

34
Q

What are the physiological and metabolic adjustments that occurs as a result of altitude training?

A

Pulmonary hyperventilation
Acid-base: body fluids become more alkaline
Cardiovascular: cardiac output increases, sub max HR increases, stroke vol remains the same/ or lower
Hematologic: increase in RBC production, hematocrit, viscosity, and decreased plasma vol.
