Ch: 6- Adaptations to Aerobic Endurance Training Programs Flashcards
What is stroke volume?
the quantity of blood ejected w/ each beat
Acute response to stroke volume following aerobic exercise?
End- diastolic vol increased
Sympathetic stimulation increases stroke vol.
Acute response to cardiac output following aerobic exercise?
Increases rapidly then reaches plateau
CO may increase 4 times the resting level
What is cardiac output?
the amount of blood pumped by the heart in liters per minute (SV x HR)
Acute response to heart rate following aerobic exercise?
increases linearly w/ increases in intensity
Acute response to oxygen uptake following aerobic exercise?
O2 uptake increases- directly related mass of exercising muscle, metabolic efficiency, and exercise intensity
What is max O2 uptake?
the greatest amount of O2 that can be used at the cellular level for the entire body.
What is the resting O2 uptake value?
- 5ml of O2 per kg of BW per min
* defined as 1 metabolic equivalent (MET)
What does systolic BP estimate?
pressure exerted against ARTERIAL wall as blood is forcefully ejected during VENTRICULAR contraction.
What does diastolic BP estimate?
pressure exerted against ARTERIAL wall when no blood is being forcefully ejected through the vessels
Overall what does acute aerobic exercise increase?
Cardiac output stroke volume HR systolic BP blood flow to active muscles DECREASE in DIASTOLIC BP
Describe the respiratory response to acute aerobic exercise?
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
What carries O2 in the blood?
hemoglobin
How is CO2 removed?
From its combination w/ water and delivery to the lungs in the form of bicarbonate
What does OBLA mean?
Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation
Level of aerobic exercise in which lactate acid begins to develop
