What is an emerging vital sign?
- Cardiorespiratory Fitness
What is the take-away from the study on cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term mortality?
- Cardiorespiratory fitness is a modifiable indicator of long-term mortality
- Health care professionals should encourage patients to achieve and maintain high levels of fitness
What are the 4 principles of exercise training?
- Overload
- Specificity
- Individual Differences
- Reversibility
What is the overall objective of exercise training?
Stimulate
- Structural adaptation
- Functional Adaptations
- Improve performance in specific physical tasks
Is the basic approach to physiological conditioning similar for men and women?
- YES
What does achieving appropriate overload require?
Manipulating Training:
- Frequency
- Intensity
- Duration
Who does the concept of individualized and progressive overload apply to?
- Athletes
- Sedentary Persons
- Disabled Persons
- Cardiac Patients
How do you acquire health-related benefits from regular exercise?
- High Volume
- lower effort intensity
How do you improve aerobic capacity with regular exercise?
- Higher intensity but lower volume than required for general health
What does exercise training specificity refer to?
- Adaptations in metabolic and physiological function that depends upon the type and mode of overload imposed
What is the most effective evaluation of sport-specific performance?
- When measurement closely simulates actual activity and/or muscle mass/movement patters the sport requires
What must overload do when training for specific aerobic activities?
- engage appropriate muscles
- Exercise at a sufficient level to stress the cardiovascular system
What is seen when measuring aerobic capacity for an exercise dissimilar to one the athlete trained in?
- Limited improvements
How does specific overload of muscles with endurance training enhance performance?
Facilitates ____ by trained muscles
- O2 transport
- O2 use
Where do local adaptations occur when training?
- In specifically trained muscles
- Apparent in exercise that activates that musculature
Why does more blood flow to specific muscles after training?
- Increased microcirculation
- More effective redistribution of cardiac output
- Combined effect of both factors
What is an example of training specificity?
- 15men: swim 1hr/day, 3time/week, for 10 weeks at HR of 85-95%
- Large increase in VO2max and Max Swim Time
- Small increase in VO2max and Max Run Time
When do optimal training benefits occur?
- When exercise programs focus on individual needs and participants’ capacities
Describe the reversibility Principle
- Detraining occurs rapidly when stopping training
How quickly can detraining occur following termination of training program?
- only 1-2 weeks
Describe the time frame of detraining following the termination of a training program
1-2 Weeks
- reduced metabolic capacity
- reduced exercise capacity
Several months
- Most improvements fully lost
What are the Anaerobic system changes that occur with training?
Increased
- anaerobic substrates
- quantity/activity key enzymes
- capacity to generate high level blood lactate during all-out exercise
-levels of glycogen/glycolytic enzymes
-motivation/tolerance
What changes happen to the aerobic system with training?
- Ventilation-Aeration
- Central Blood Flow
- Active Muscle Metabolism
- Peripheral Blood Flow
What changes to the ventilation-aeration system happen with aerobic training?
- Minute Ventilation
- Perfusion Ratio
- Oxygen Diffusion Capacity
- Hb-O2 Affinity
- Arterial Oxygen Saturation
What changes to the Central Blood Flow occur due to aerobic training?
- Cardiac Output (HR, Stroke Volume)
- Arterial Blood Pressure
- Oxygen Transport Capacity (Hb)
What changes to the Active Muscle Metabolism occur due to aerobic training?
- Enzymes and Oxidative Potential
- Energy Stores/Substrate Availabilty
- Myoglobin Concentration
- Mitochondria Size/Number
- Active Muscle Mass
- Muscle Fiber Type
What changes to the Peripheral Blood Flow occur due to Aerobic Training?
- Hb-O2 affinity
- Flow to nonactive regions
- Muscle Blood Flow
- Arterial Vascular Reactivity
- Muscle Vascular Conductance (blood flow / blood pressure)
- Muscle Capillary Density
- O2 Diffusion
- O2 Extraction
- Venous Compliance/reactivity
What is the Fick Equation?
VO2 = Cardiac Output x (a-v)O2 Difference
Cardiac Output = HR x SV
What changes max HR? What does not?
Does
- Age
Does Not
- Training
What changes to the Fick Equation occur due to cardiovascular adaptations?
- Stroke Volume
What changes to the Fick Equations occur due to Respiratory and Muscular Adaptation?
- (a-vO2 difference)
What does aerobic training improve in skeletal muscle?
- Capacity for O2 metabolism (respiratory) control
What do endurance-trained skeletal muscle contain compared to less active fibers?
- Larger and more mitochondria
How much does mitochondrial enzymes increase with aerobic training?
- 50%
How does intramuscular fatty acid oxidation increase from Aerobic Training?
- Greater blood flow in trained muscle
- More fat-mobilizing/metabolizing enzymes
- Enhanced muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity
- Decreased catecholamine release for same absolute power output
catecholamines promote the use of glycogen
