CVS - Rest Flashcards
heart rate (HR)
no. of times heart beats per min
average person HR at rest
72 bpm
trained athlete HR at rest (aerobic)
50 bpm
average person HR during exercise
max HR = 220 - age
trained athlete HR during exercise
max HR = 220 - age
stroke volume (SV)
vol of blood leaving left ventricle per beat
stroke volume ______ when we exercise
increases
why does SV increase when exercise (2)
- heart is muscle, when warms up it expands - can hold more blood in left ventricle
- when heart warms up, becomes more elastic - can contract with more force
average person SV at rest
70ml
trained athlete SV at rest
100ml
average person SV exercise (maximum exercise)
100-120ml
trained athlete SV exercise (maximum exercise)
160-200ml
cardiac output (CO)
vol of blood pumped out of left ventricle in 1 min
CO equation
CO = SV x HR
during exercise CO _______
increases
heart becomes ________ ________ when it warms up
more elastic
when warmed up the heart can ______ _______ ______ & ______ ______ _____ ______
- hold more blood
- contract with more force
average person CO at rest
5L
trained athlete CO at rest
5L
average person CO exercise
20-30 Litres per min
trained athlete CO exercise
30-40 litres per min
venus return
vol of deoxygenated blood returning to heart
Venus return _____ during exercise
increases
