54
describe the process of respiration.
1. Enters through the nose and mouth where it is filtered of foreign objects. 2. travels down the pharynx to the larynx where it then goes down the trachea. 3. it then travels to the bronchioles via the bronchi which have alveoli on the ends. 4. alveoli is where gas exchange occurs. 5. carbon dioxide is then exhaled out of the body and oxygen inhaled repeating this process over and over.
55
Repiratory system
56
What is inspiration?
The air movement from the atmosphere into the lungs, breathing in.
57
What happens to the diaphragm during inspiration?

58
What is expiration?
The air movement from the lungs to the atmosphere, breathing out.
59
What happens to the diaphragm during expiration?
The diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards as the intercostal muscles allow for the lungs to return to their resting position. Volume of the chest cavity decreases and increase in air pressure.
60
What happens during the exchange of gases?

What are the immediate physiological responses to training?
- Heart rate - stroke volume - ventilation rate - cardiac output - lactate levels
101
Heart rate?
The number of times the heart beats per minute. Resting heart rate is when the individual is completely at rest. Average = 72 BPM. Low resting heart rate = efficient cardiovascular system.
102
ventilation rate?
Refers to the depth and rate of breathing, expressed in breaths/minute. during rest = 12 breaths per minute, 500 mL air. increases before and during exercise, after it remains high for a short period of time then goes back to normal.
103
stroke volume?
The amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle of the heart during a contraction. When exercising it increases significantly especially for a fit person.
104
Cardiac output?
The amount of blood being pumped by the heart per minute. product of the heart rate + stroke volume. HR x SV = CO
105
lactate levels?
High levels of lactate are produced when we exercise and it accumulates when we exercise above lactate inflection point. Hydrogen is responsible for the acidity of the blood, subsequently making it harder for muscles to function.
106
What are the components of the FITT principle?
- Frequency (how often) - Intensity (how hard) - Time (how long) - Type (what kind of exercise)
107
What is linear motion?
When a body and all parts attached to it travel at the same distance and direction at the same speed. Eg 100m sprint.

110
What is acceleration?
The rate at which speed is increasing or decreasing. Determined by dividing change in speed by time. Eg. cross country runner accelerating at the end of a race.
111
What is speed?
How fast something is travelling. | speed = distance/time.
