Q

Circulatory System

A
  • Blood transports nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, waste products and chemical messages (hormones)
  • Maintains body temperature by transporting heat from the core to the skin, where it can dissipate

Q

Exercises Impact on Blood Pressure

A
  • Training increases the ability of the heart to pump blood, so as a client becomes more fit their resting blood pressure remains constant or may even decrease because exercise helps maintain the elasticity of vessels and keeps the circulatory system healthy.
  • Moderate exercise raises systolic (over 200 mmHg) but not dialectic (due to opening of more capillary beds)
  • Blood flow during intense exercise compress arteries and reduce blood flow which can cause dizziness from a slowdown of blood to the heart and brain

Q

Exercise’s Effect on Stroke Volume (over time)

A
  • Makes the ventricles become larger which lets them hold more blood and pump harder
  • Increases stroke volume thus increasing ability of output per heartbeat
  • This reduces stress on the heart
  • Reduces heart rate

Q

Cardiac Output during Exercise

A
  • Increases during exercise

Q

Ventilation

A
  • Air moves in and out of lungs along pressure gradients created by the diaphragm contracting and relaxing
  • Diaphragm contracts which pulls it down into abdomen
  • This acts like a vacuum by enlarging the volume of the lungs and decreasing the pressure within them
  • When muscles relax pressure increases (you breath out)

18
Q

Diffusion

A

The way gases are exchanged in the lungs

19
Q

Air Composition

A

78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.04% carbon dioxide

20
Q

Process of Respiration

A
  1. Nasal Cavity/Mouth
  2. Pharynx
  3. Larynx
  4. Trachea
  5. Bronchi
  6. Bronchioles
  7. Alveoli
  8. Capillaries: Then proceeds through the circulatory system
21
Q

Lung Volume

A

4-6 Litres of Air

22
Q

Alveoli

A
  • Are tiny air sacs where gas is exchanged

- Lungs have 300 million alveoli

23
Q

Cardiorespiratory Response during Exercise

A
  • There may be a delay due to oxygen deficit (need warmup)
  • At beginning heart rate and stroke volume increases
  • Blood distributed to working muscles and away from abdominals. (Though selective vasodilation and vasoconstriction)
  • Systolic BP rises
  • Respiration rate increases
24
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

Narrowing of arteries

25
Q

Vasodilation

A

Widening of arteries

26
Q

Respiration Rates

A
  • Resting ventilation = 10 litres per minute
  • One minute into exercise = 45 litres per minute
  • Steady state exercise = 60 litres per minute
  • High performance athlete at max exertion = 220 litres per minute
27
Q

VO2 Max

A
  • Maximum volume of oxygen per minute in litres relative to body maxx (ml per kg per min)
  • Maximum amount of oxygen the body can extract and use in the process of energy production
  • Depends on ability to ventilate the lunges, the ease at which oxygen moves from lungs to blood, capacity of blood to carry oxygen, ability of heart to pump blood (cardiac output) and distribute it to working musculature and ability of muscles to extract and use oxygen delivered
28
Q

Factors that contribute to VO2Max

A
  • Central component: Heart and its ability to distribute oxygen and blood
  • Peripheral component: Muscles and their ability to use oxygen for aerobic activity
29
Q

Normal VO2 Max Rates

A
  • Fit participant resting: 3.5ml/kg/min (relative)
  • Fit participant maximal: 60ml/kg/min (relative)
  • Unfit participant resting: 3.5ml/kg/min (relative)
    Unfit participant maximal: 35ml/kg/min (relative)
30
Q

Oxygen Uptake During Recovery

A

Fast recovery - Restore ATP and CP and remove lactic acid

Slow recovery - Repair muscle damage and adaptations

31
Q

Benefits of Cardiorespiratory Training

A
  • Reduced risk of heart disease

- Reduced resting heart rate, normalizes blood pressure and makes everyday tasks easier

32
Q

Cardiorespiratory Training Time Recommendations

A
  • 300 moderate minutes or 150 vigorous minutes per week

- 10 minute sessions or longer

33
Q

Frequency for Cardiorespiratory Training Program Design

A
  • Number of workouts depends on length to make sure you hit guidelines
  • Improved cardiovascular health can be seen in two exercise sessions per week (few benefits of adding more than 5 sessions)
34
Q

Intensity for Cardiorespiratory Training Program Design

A
  • Speed or heart rate

- Ways of planning and detecting intensity: Oxygen uptake, HR monitoring, Perceived exertion

35
Q

Oxygen Uptake Monitoring

A

Is only available to elite athletes with labs available to test this

36
Q

Heart Rate Monitoring

A
  • Heart rate increases linearly with intensity

- Use either percentage of HR maximum and percentage of HR reserve

37
Q

Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate

A
  • “Training zone” is between 55%-90%
  • Zone that encourages client to work hard enough to get results but not so hard the aerobic system cannot produce enough oxygen

=(220-40(age)) X percentage

38
Q

Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)

A

=HR max - resting HR

  • Most appropriate when you know your clients resting and max HR, experience and current cardiovascular fitness level
  • Training zone is now between 50%-85% (this is to ensure target is not overstated)
39
Q

Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate Ranges for Levels of Fitness

A
Beginner = 55%-64%
Intermediate = 65%-74%
Advanced = 75%-90%
40
Q

Use of the HRR (Karvonen formula)

A

Target HR = ((HR max - resting HR) X percentage) + resting HR

  • When max and resting HR are both known this is a better option
  • Cardiorespiratory fitness levels for lower target HR must be adjusted as clients become more fit as lower target HR would decrease which is incorrect
41
Q

Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE)

A
  • RPE sale of 6-20 (multiply by 10 to get estimated HR)
  • Reevaluating this after adaptations have occurred is recommended because both HR and RPE will change for a given intensity
42
Q

Time for Cardiorespiratory Training Program Design

A
  • Health improves with 20-30 minutes of exercise in the target HR zone
  • Increase duration to make it harder but this also creates a higher risk of injury
  • Consideration: Experience (beginners should start with 10-15 minutes and gradually increase), Fitness Level (beginners start low and add duration towards goal of 15-30 minutes).
  • Goal is to reach between 30-60
43
Q

Type for Cardiorespiratory Training Program Design

A
  • Start with activity the client enjoys or has had success with in the past
  • Caloric expenditure depends on amount of muscle mass used and type of movement
  • Goal: improve conditioning (use a variety of exercises and experiment) - Weight loss (exercise that burns the most calories)
