16
Q

To supply the additional oxygen needed and excrete the excess CO2 produced, ________ ventilation increases 10-20-fold during heavy exercise.

A

alveolar

17
Q

Which factors result in increased oxygen extraction from the blood (increased dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin)?

A
  • decrease in local tissue PO2 because of use of more oxygen by working muscle
  • production of more CO2 causes the tissue to become acidotic and the temperature increases
  • increase of red blood cell 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) produced by glycolysis during exercise
18
Q

Factors determining oxygen consumption:

A
  • vascularity of the muscles
  • fiber distribution
  • number of mitochondria
  • oxidative mitochondrial enzymes present in the fibers
19
Q

Termination of stress testing:

A
  • progressive angina
  • significant drop in systolic pressure
  • lightheadedness, confusion, pallor, cyanosis, nausea, or peripheral circulatory insufficiency
  • abnormal ECG response including ST segment depression greater than 4 mm
  • excessive rise in blood pressure
  • subject wishes to stop
20
Q

The most popular treadmill protocol for stress testing.

A

Bruce protocol

21
Q

A conditioning response typically occurs at ___ to ___% maximum heart rate depending on the individual and the initial level of fitness.

A

60-90% (70% is minimum in healthy, young individuals)

22
Q

When using the Karvonen formula, the exercise heart rate is ______ than when using the maximum heart rate alone.

A

23
Q

Which elicits greater improvement in VO2max: high-intensity, short duration or moderate intensity/longer duration?

A

high-intensity, short duration

24
Q

Physiological responses to warm-up:

A
  • increase in muscle temperature
  • increased need for oxygen
  • dilatation of capillaries with increases in the circulation
  • adaptation in sensitivity of the neural respiratory center to various exercise stimulants

A
  • prevent pooling of blood in the extremities by maintaining venous return
