25
once exposed to a trigger, what is the response of an asthma attack
plasma cells produce IgE antibodies which attach to mast cells lining bronchial tubes. Mast cell then releases inflammatory mediators that results in fluid production and vasoconstriction
26
EIA (exercise induced asthma) is more common in
asthmatics but can occur in not asthmatics
27
EIA is caused by
repeated cooling and drying of respiratory tract which triggers the release of chemical mediators and airway narrowing
28
does EIA impair performance
not if medically controlled
29
how is EIA diagnosed
strenuous running at 80-95% HR max then do a PFT to see if FEV has dropped more than 10 % if it did drop, that is a strong indication that you've had vasoconstriction or narrowing of airways means you aren't able to move air out as easily leading to EIA
30
what sport does not show pulmonary function changes in asthmatics
swimming- don't have decrease in FEV because mostly breathing in humid air so have no drying of airways = no EIA
31
how to reduce the chance of EIA attack
warm up (15 min at 60% of VO2 max) perform short duration exercise use a face mask in cold weather to help warm air as it comes in
32
treatment of EIA
beta-2 agonist in case of attack during exercise other medications to prevent attack to cause relaxation of smooth muscle and vasodilation to open airways
33
does INHALED beta-2 agonists improve performance
no - only treats vasoconstriction
34
does INGESTED salbutamol (b2-agonist) improve performance
yes- improves strength, aerobic power, and endurance at 10-20x inhaled dose
35
normal BP
sBP < 120 dBP <80
36
elevated BP
sBP 120-129 dBP <80
37
hypertension stage 1
sBP 130-139 OR dBP 80-90
38
hypertension stage 2
sBP >140 OR dBP >90
39
prevalence of hypertension with increased age
increased
40
why is hypertension known as the silent killer
hypertension damages the endothelium , which predisposed the individual to atherosclerosis increased afterload on the heart caused by hypertension may lead to LVR hypertrophy and is important cause of heart failure
41
hypertension txt
non-pharmacological approaches for mild or borderline hypertension - lose weight if overweight - limit alcohol intake - reduce sodium intake - eat healthy - stop smoking - exercise
42
exercise for hypertension
frequency: aerobic training on most/all days of week intensity: moderate duration: 30 to 60 min mode: aerobic exercise supplemented by resistance training
43
effects of age on strength
strength increases as muscle mass increases with age
44
when does strength peak in men and women
~ 20 years women ~ 20-30 years men
45
the extent of muscular development depends on
relative maturation of nervous system
46
physiological responses to acute exercise: thermoregulation in children
children have increased SA:mass ratio greater conductive heat loss, gain less evaporative heat loss (decreased sweat) slower heat acclimation
47
CV function in children in response to acute exercise: BP
resting and submaximal BP is lower than in adults because they have smaller hearts and lower peripheral resistance during exercise
48
children response to acute exercise on HR
higher HR which almost compensates for low SV
49
children response to acute exercise on SV
lower SV due to having smaller heart and lower blood volume
50
children response to acute exercise on Q
slightly lower Q than an adult
51
children response to acute exercise on (a-v)O2 difference
increases to further compensate higher than men on graph
52
cardiorespiratory changes with age permit greater delivery of
O2
53
absolute VO2 max response to acute exercise as we age
increases with age in both boys and girls
54
relative VO2 max effects with acute exercise as we age in boys and girls
relative VO2 max stays steady with age in boys relative VO2 max decreases with age in girls
55
lung function as we age in response to acute exercise
lung volume increases as we age peak flow rates increase with age (increased muscle mass around respiratory muscles = easier to move air)
56
who has a worse exercise economy: adult or children
children have a worse economy- childs O2 consumption per kg is greater than adults consume more O2= worse economy with age, skills improve, stride lengthens
57
endurance running pace as we age
increases with age purely as a result of economy of effort occurs regarless of VO2max changes, training status
58
anaerobic performance in children vs adults
children have limited anaerobic performance compared to adults (dont have enough muscle mass so it is harder for them to produce more power and less muscle = less glycogen= less enzyme = less production of byproducts
59
why do children have a lower anaerobic performance compared to adults
less muscle glycogen less glycolytic enzyme activity lower blood lactate
60
ATP-PCr stores in children vs adults
similar
61
weight lifting in children
is safe and beneficial - injuries can be avoided by attention to proper technique as exercise can promote muscular strength and bone density
62
how to increase BMD in children
weight bearing exercises and sports
63
effects of aerobic training in children
improvement in VO2max similar to adults and performance increases due to improved running economy (longer legs = more economical)
64
anaerobic training in children leads to
higher resting PCr, ATP, glycogen higher PFK activity higher max blood lactate * same in adults
65
physical activity patterns among youth
physical activity patterns established in childhood carry into adulthood intervention strategies aimed at getting children more active have been mostly ineffective early specialization in one sport reduces fun physical activities = reduced lifelong physical activity
66
what is sudden cardiac death in young atheletes due to
very rare due to congenital heart defects, not exercise (abnormal, lethal heart rhythms * a medical exam can identify those at risk
67
female vs male responses to training
females are similar to males exception: thermoregulation is impaired during luteal phase (increase core temp) of menstrual cycle
68
concerns for female athletes
exercise and the menstrual cycle eating disorders BMD exercise during pregnancy
69
athletic amenorrhea
cessation of menstruation
70
potential causes of athletic amenorrhea
1) amount of training 2) psychological stress 3) low EA
71
increased miles of training effects on amenorrhea
increases risk
72
training and menstruation
no reason to limit training during menstruation *only limitation may be dysmenorrhea due to painful menstruation due to prostaglandins
73
prostaglandins
released in uterus and cause contractions = painful periods and may limit training capabilities during menstruation
74
anorexia nervosa
extreme steps to reduce body weight via starvation, exercise, laxative use results in : effective weight loss, amenorrhea, death
75
bulimia
pattern of overeating (binging) followed by vomiting (purging) results in : damage to teeth and esophagus
76
warning signs for anorexia
rapid weight loss mood swings excessive exercise wearing baggy clothes preoccupation w food/calories/weight avoid food related activities
77
warning signs for bulimia
noticeable weight loss depressive moods excessive concern about weight strict dieting followed by binges increasing criticism of body bathroom visits after meals
78
osteoporosis
loss of bone mineral content caused by estrogen deficiency due to amenorrhea and inadequate Ca2+ intake due to eating disorders
79
runners vs untrained women: bone mineral content
female runners have a higher bone mineral content than untrained females
80
female athlete triad
low Ea leads to menstrual dysfunction and low BMD menstrual dysfunction leads to low BMD
81
RED-S
relative energy deficiency in sports RED-S can be caused by psychological symptoms
82
83
energy availability calculation
EA: (energy intake - EE)/FFM
83
treatment of RED-S
primary objective is to increase EA by increasing energy intake, reducing EE (training volume) or a combination of both *athletes practicing restrictive eating behaviors should receive nutritional counseling and psychotherapy
83
reasons females are at higher risk of knee injury
fluctuation in hormones during menstrual cycle knee anatomy dynamic neuromuscular imbalance
83
recovery from RED-s
recovery of energy status in days or weeks then recovery of menstrual status in months lastly recovery of BMD in years
83
why do fluctuation in hormones during menstrual cycle lead to increased risk of knee injury in females
may compromise ACL strength and or proprioceptor feedback
83
risk of knee injury in female athletes
female athletes are at a higher risk of certain knee injuries compared to men 3.5x higher risk of non-contact ACL injury
84
why does knee anatomy increase risk of knee injury in females
may be due to greater joint laxity
85
why does dynamic neuromuscular imbalance increase risk of knee injury in females
imbalanced strength, proprioception, and landing biomechanics
86
major adaptions to pregnancy
increases in plasma volume, Q, SV, HR increase in tidal volume and minute ventilation
87
risk of regular endurance exercise during pregnancy
regular endurance exercise poses little risk to the fetus and is beneficial for the mother due to reduced risk of developing gestational diabetes and preeclampsia * should consult with doctor prior to exercise due to absolute and relative contraindications
88
effects of training while pregnant on absolute VO2 max
increased or maintained
89
why does a combination of training and pregnancy result in a greater adaptation than training alone
due to increase in plasma volume during pregnancy
90
exercise recommendations for pregnant women
follow ACSM/CDC recommendation which is 30 min/day of moderate intensity activity on most/preferably all days
91
intensity of exercise for pregnant women can be determined by measuring
RPE 12-14 HR = may not be best method "talk test"
92
what should you monitor while a pregnant women is exercising
temperature hydration intensity and volume
93
why is it important to monitor temperature with exercise in pregnant women
to prevent hyperthermia limit body temp increase <1.5 C aquatic exercise is recommended
94
maintaining adequate hydration with exercise in pregnant women
consume fluids at regular intervals (every 15 min) monitor fluid balance by measuring body weight
95
when would you want to reduce training intensity and volume in pregnant women
as pregnancy advances due to regular examinations by physician
96
older adult exercise trends
many more older adults are exercising today recreationally due to recreation, competition, more fit compared to older sedentary counterparts
97
endurance performance declines after age
60 as shown by 10,000 m running time
98
VO2 max as we age
declines by 1% each year after age 45
99
mechanisms for age related decline in endurance performance
aging causes: decreases in HRmax, SV, and (a-v)O2 difference which all decrease VO2max exercise economy and LT stay the same with aging all these factors lead to decrease in endurance exercise performance
100
training effects on VO2 max as we age
training can slow but not prevent decline in VO2 max
101
height effects with age
height decreases with age - starts at 35-40 years - compression intervertebral discs - poor posture - later, osteopenia, osteoporosis
102
weight as we age
weight increases, then decreases increases 25-45 years old due to decreased physical activity and high caloric intake decreases 65+ years due to loss of body mass and decreased apetite
103
body fat content as we age
body fat content tends to increase - active vs sedentary older adults vary - older athletes decrease body fat content and central adiposity
104
FFM as we age
decreases starting around age 40
105
why does FFM decrease after 40 years old
decrease muscle and bone mass sarcopenia (protein synthesis decreases) due in part to lack of activity decreased growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1
106
strength as we age
loss of strength as we age due to lower level of activity in older adults also due to sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass)
107
sarcopenia causes
decrease in muscle size (type I and II) decrease in # fibers (type I and II) greater reduction in type II fibers with aging
108
reflexes as we age
slow with age BUT exercise preserves reflex response time active older people = young active people
109
motor unit activation as we age
decreases - but exercise retains maximal recruitment of muscle - some studies show decreased strength due to local muscle factors (not neural)
110
BMD as we age
decreases bone resorption > bone synthesis due to lack of weight bearing exercise
111
osteoporosis is most common in
women over 50 due to lack of estrogen
112
exercise for bone health
weight bearing activities 3-5 times per week resistance exercise 2-3 times/week moderate to high bone loading 30-60 min/day weight bearing endurance activities activities that involve jumping resistance training
113
what type of training is most effective as we age
resistance training * but the combination of resistance and balance training can reduce the risk of falls
