Chapter 8 Flashcards
The Cardiovascular Responses
to Acute Exercise is:
Increases blood flow to working muscle
The Cardiovascular Responses
to Acute Exercise is:
-Involves altered heart function, peripheral circulatory adaptations to:
- Heart rate
- Stroke volume
- Cardiac output
- Blood pressure
- Blood flow
- Blood
The resting heart rate (rhr)
untrained rhr:
trained: rhr:
60-80
30-40
Resting heart rate is Affected by
neural tone, temperature, altitude
Anticipatory response:
HR ↑ above RHR just before start of exercise
-________ ↓
-_______&, ______ ↑
- Vagal Tone
- Norepinephrine, epinephrine
Heart Rate During Exercise is Directly _____ to exercise intensity
proportional
Maximum HR (HRmax): highest HR achieved in ]
all-out effort to volitional fatigue
Maximum Heart rate (hr max)
- Highly reproducible
- Declines slightly with age
- Estimated HRmax = _____ – age in years
- Better estimated HRmax = ___– (0.7 x age in years)
- 220
- 208
Steady-state HR: point of plateau, :
optimal HR for meeting circulatory demands at a given submaximal intensity
Steady-state HR:
- If intensity ↑, so does _____
- Adjustment to new intensity takes __to__ min
- The more intense, the longer to
- steady-state HR
- 2-3
- achieve
Steady-state HR basis for simple exercise tests that estimate
aerobic fitness and HRmax
Stroke Volume (SV) ↑ With ↑ intensity up to __ to ___% V•O2max
- Beyond this, SV plateaus to ____
- Possible exception: elite endurance athletes
- 40-60
- exhaustion
SV during maximal exercise ≈ double
standing SV
SV during maximal exercise only slightly higher than
supine sv
Supine EDV > ______
standing EDV
Factors That Increase Stroke Volume:
- ↑ Preload:
- ↑ Contractility:
- ↓ Afterload:
↑ Preload: end-diastolic ventricular stretch
– ↑ Volume of ______returned to heart
– ↑ Stretch (i.e., ↑ EDV) → ↑ contraction strength
Frank-Starling mechanism
venous blood
↑ Contractility: inherent ventricle property
– _________ or ________→ ↑ contractility
Independent of EDV (↑ ejection fraction instead)
↑ Norepinephrine or epinephrine
↑ Preload at lower intensities → ↑ SV
– ↑ Venous return → ↑ EDV → ↑ _____
-preload
Increase in HR → ↓ filling time → slight ↓ in EDV → ↓ _____
Stroke Volume SV
↑ ________ at higher intensities → ↑ SV
Contractility
↓ Afterload via vasodilation → ↑ _______
SV
Q=
HR x SV
↑ With ↑ intensity, plateaus near
V•O2max
Normal values of cardiac output:
Resting Q• ~__ L/min
Untrained Q•max ~__ L/min
Trained Q•max __ L/min
- 5
- 20
- 40
Q•max a function of
body size and aerobic fitness
