Chapter 11 Flashcards
Cardiovascular chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training
HEART at rest
Decrease in heart rate, increase in stroke volume, unchanged cardiac output
Decrease in heart rate
A slower heart rate is more efficient because it requires less oxygen than a faster beating heart with the same cardiac output
Increase stroke volume
Due to increased left ventricle volume and mass. Which Is due to reduced cardiac and arterial stiffness.
Increased diastolic filling time. Increased cardiac contractility.
Cardiac output
Remains unchanged at rest due to the balance of HR and SV
Cardiac output at max exercise
Increased Q increases the amount of blood and allows for a more rapid removal of by products.
Cardiovascular chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training
BLOOD VESSLES
Increase in capillaries, slight decrease of blood flow to the heart, decrease of myocardium O2 consumption, increased capillarisation of skeletal muscle, increased number of capillaries, increased blood flow to skin and increase HDL
Cardiovascular chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training
HEART
Hypertrophy of the heart muscle, increase in size of the left ventricular activity, decrease in heart rate, increase in stroke volume, cardiac output remains unchanged(rest)
Blood vessels: increase in capillaries
Increase in capillaries results in more blood flow to the heart, which means more oxygen is delivered to the heart muscle to meet the demands of the myocardium
Blood flow to the heart at rest
BLOOD VESSELS
Slight decrease
Myocardium oxygen consumption
BLOOD VESSELS
Decreases because stroke volume increases and heart rate decreases
Increased number of capillaries
BLOOD VESSELS
More capillaries around the muscle leads to an increase in the supply of oxygen and nutrients and an increase in removal of waste products
Blood vessels:
At rest and sub max
Decrease blood flow to the working muscles due to the increased ability of the muscles to deliver, extract and use oxygen
Increased blood flow to the skin
BLOOD VESSELS
Results in greater removal of heat
Decrease LDL Increase HDL
BLOOD VESSELS
HDL’s remove plaque from the artery wall and delivers it to the liver
BLOOD
Increase plasma volume and red blood cell volume, increased haemoglobin in the blood, decrease blood lactate concentration
BLOOD
increase in plasma
Assists in SV because increase in volume of the blood can fill the heart during diastole
Blood
Plasma volumes
Assist in regulation of body temperature
Blood
Increased haemoglobin
Haemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to the working muscles
Blood
Blood pressure
Reduces at rest and sub max and has no change during max
Blood
DecreaseBlood lactate concentration
Endurance athletes show a decreased blood lactate and the ability to extend exercise levels before OBLA
Respiratory chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training
Structural adaptations
Increase lung volume, increased pulmonary function= Increase lung volume, increase diffusion (rest and sub max)
Respiratory chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training
Functional adaptations
Sub max and rest
Endurance athletes have lower ventilation rates compared to untrained athletes.
Oxygen consumption is the same or slightly lower
