Q

Adaptation

A

Results in increased efficiency of the cardiovascular system and the active mm

  • represents variety of neurological, physical, and biochemical changes in the cardiovascular and muscular systems
  • performance improves in that the same amount of work can be done after training but at a lower physiological cost (higher the initial level of fitness, greater the intensity of exercise needed to elicit a significant change)

PR

A

Peripheral resistance

  • opposition to flow

  • measure of the amount of friction the blood encounters as it passes through the vessels
  • necessary to keep the pressure gradient and keep blood moving
  • dependent on viscosity (affected by H2O and glucose, NOT blood thinners which change clotting factor), blood vessel length, blood vessel diameter

Q

ATP production

A

ATP rebased during glucose breakdown and converted into energy that can immediately be used by the body (cells)

  • Aerobic: 36 ATP (with water and CO2) = long lasting energy
  • anaerobic: 2 ATP (with lactic acid): maybe 1-2 min of energy
  • with conditioning, become more effective at burning energy and utilizing ATP

Q

Aerobic fitness depends on

A
  1. Cardiovascular system (vasoconstriction/dilation to meet metabolic needs and maintain BP)
  2. Respiratory system (how much O2 required for activity vs ability to utilize O2 by the body)
  3. Exercising muscles (vasodilation of exercising mm and mm fiber types)
23
Q

Direct VO2 max measure

A

Analyze inspired air vs expired air during maximal cardiovascular exercise

  • accurate but expensive
  • used for diagnostic purposes/research
  • usually uses bike or treadmill
24
Q

Indirect VO2 max measure

A

Analyze inspired air vs expired air during submaximal cardiovascular exercise

  • uses relationship between HR (CO) and VO2
  • uses treadmill or bike
25
Q

Predicted VO2 max

A

Data from standardized tests / metabolic formulas; no gases analyzed

  • good for a large group of untrained individuals
  • usually submaximal exercise
  • bike, treadmill, etc
  • other standard tests include 1.5 mile or 3 min step test
26
Q

Normal physiological response to exercise

A
  1. Sympathetic nervous system response
  2. Cardiac effects
  3. Peripheral effects
27
Q

Sympathetic nervous system response

A

Increase in blood flow to skeletal muscle via vasodilation and increase in O2 extraction
- decreased visceral blood flow (SNS?)

28
Q

Factors affecting O2 consumption

A
  • vascularity of the mm
  • fiber distribution
  • number of mitochondria
  • oxidative mitochondrial enzymes present in the fibers
29
Q

Cardiac effects

A
  1. Decrease in diastolic filling time
  2. No significant change in diastolic pressure
  3. Increase in
    - myocardial contractility
    - SV and CO and HR
    - max O2 consumption
    - SBP in proportion to O2 consumption and CO
  4. HR (CO) and O2 consumption have a linear relationship
  5. Increased CO initially due to increased SV (increased venous return at <40-50% of aerobic capacity
  6. > 40-50% aerobic capacity, increased CO due to increased HR
  7. MHR may be achieved before max O2 consumption
30
Q

Peripheral effects

A

Overall decrease in total peripheral resistance (TPR) with activity

  • vasodilation to working mm
  • vasoconstriction of vessels from non-working mm and organ systems
  • increased CO
  • increased SBP
31
Q

Benies of cardiovascular exercise

A
  • reduced resting HR and reduced HR at a standard exercise load
  • increased efficiency of the heart
  • decreased resting BP
  • can improve VO2 max 5-30% and up to 50% in endurance athletes
  • increase utilization of fats and carbs
  • increased production and size of mitochondria = increased efficiency / energy usage = increased energy
32
Q

Developing a conditioning program

A
  1. Mode of exercise
  2. Frequency of exercise
  3. Duration of exercise
  4. Intensity of exercise
33
Q

Mode of exercise

A

Exercises that involve repetitive, larg-mm movements that are rhythmical in nature and use large amounts of O2

  • running, walking, swimming, cycling
  • benefits are optimized when programs are planned to meet the individual needs and capacities of the participants
34
Q

Frequency of exercise

A

Usually 3-5x / week *based on experience levels, intensity, and goals

  • novice (<6 mo): 2-3x / week
  • intermediate (6-12 mo): 3-4x / week
  • experienced (>1 y): 4-5+x / week
  • significant deconditioning may need increased times per day for short duration
35
Q

Duration of exercise

A

Generally 20-30 min of continuos, intermittent, or circuit training aerobic activity

  • depends on intensity
  • reconditioned pt cant have high intensity or duration
36
Q

Variations of aerobic exercise

A
  • min of 10 min bouts multiple times per day necessary to improve aerobic capacity (cumulative)
  • however, 3-5 min bouts in a de conditioned pt IS effective, increasing to longer sessions as able — consistency is preferred
37
Q

Continuous training

A

No rest interval, exercise is performed for entire duration and changes minimally

  • same resistance at same speed
  • submaximal energy requirement must be sustained
  • aerobic, stress on slow twitch fibers
  • 20-60 min
  • work rate is increased progressively as training improvements are achieved
  • overload can be accomplished by increasing exercise duration
38
Q

Interval training

A

Repeated higher intensity bouts (80%) with active rest (30-45%)

  • 1:1 or 1:1.5 high/low intensity ratio
  • relief interval can be passive (rest) or active (work- less intense). ATP and O2 are replenished and increase in VO2 max occurs
  • longer the work interval, Moore aerobic system is stressed
  • total amount of work completed is greater than that of continuous training
39
Q

Circuit training

A

Employs several modes of that mix large and small mm groups as well as static and dynamic effort

  • improves strength and endurance by stressing both anaerobic and aerobic systems
  • can involve large and small mm groups and a mix of static and dynamic effort
40
Q

Overload principle

A

Overload is stress on organism that is greater than that regularly encountered during everyday life

  • to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance, overload must be applied
  • exercise load must be above the training stimulus threshold for adaptation to occur
  • conditioning response generally occurs at 60-90% MHR and 50-85% VO2 max
41
Q

Intensity of CV exercise

A

Should be between 60-90% of MHR

  • intensity plays the principle role in maintaining increases in aerobic power
  • pt MUST train at least at 60% of MHR for minimal improvement in CV endurance
  • 70% considered moderate
  • up to 90% for highly trained individuals
42
Q

Calculating MHR

A

MHR = 220 - age

43
Q

Target HR

A

MHR x 0.6 and MHR x 0.9 = range

44
Q

Karvonen equation (target HR)

A

Resting HR + [% intensity (MHR - resting HR)]

45
Q

Warm up and cool down

A
  • should be GRADUAL and be done both at the start and completion of any aerobic exercise training
  • lower intensity, but sufficient to increase core and mm temp without fatigue (less than 60% MHR)
  • should last 5-15 min
  • can include calisthenics, slow walking, and stretching
  • exercise STARTS once HR in range
  • deconditioned pts need more time for safe adaptation
46
Q

Deconditioning

A

Reduction in work capacity can be lost in as little as 12 days
- one loses 7% aerobic capacity per week on bed rest

47
Q

CV endurance training principle to keep in mind

A
  • overload principle: to improve, overload must be applied
  • specificity principle: specificity ot training to goal
  • reversibility principle: benefits of exercise are transient and reversible
  • FITT equation: frequency, intensity, time, and type
