Q

Why does the HR increase during exercise?

A

Your muscles need more oxygen and nutrients to function properly which is carried by the blood so the heart has to beat faster so that the muscles can function properly.

25
What is the systole
it's the first beat the heart makes and is made by the lower chambers pushing blood at a high pressure into the arteries. The actual sounds is caused by the heart valves closing.
26
What is the second beating sound that the heart makes called?
The diastole
27
What is the diastole made by?
It's made by the upper chambers contracting and pushing blood down into the lower chambers.
28
Why does the beating sound of the heart get louder during exercise?
As a result of increased blood pressure.
29
Why does blood pressure increase during exercise?
because more blood is pumped around the body, increasing the blood pressure in the blood vessels. Blood pressure is used to measure systolic and diastolic pressure.
30
What is systolic heart pressure?
The maximum pressure un the arteries when the heart contracts and pushes blood through the aorta and the body.
31
When does systolic heart pressure rise?
During excitement or activity.
32
Why does systolic heart pressure rise in excitement or activity?
Because more blood is needed.
33
What is diastolic blood pressure?
the pressure of the blood during the relaxation stage between beats (when the heart is at rest)
34
What does the diastolic blood pressure mainly depend on?
the elasticity of the arteries and the quality of vessels.
35
What is the pulse pressure?
The difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
36
What is the systolic blood pressure usually above?
140mmHg
37
What is the diastolic blood pressure usually above?
85mmHg
38
What is the pulse pressure usually above?
Above 50 or below 30
39
What are 4 immediate physical effects of exercise on the body?
Breathing becomes faster and deeper Body temperature increases Sweating starts and the body requires fluids muscles begin to aches
40
Why does breathing become faster and deeper during exercise?
so oxygen can be supplied to the lungs
41
Why does the body temperature increase during exercise?
as muscles work, they generate heat.
42
How is body heat regulated?
By shivering and sweating
43
Why does your body require fluids when it sweats?
As the sweat leaves the body, your body temperature decreases and you also loose salts through sweating which can cause you to urinate, collapse or faint. To prevent this you need to replenish water and salts through your body through drinking.
44
What do muscles need?
energy | oxygen
45
What is energy from food converted in to?
glucose
46
How does glucose and oxygen get to muscles?
It is carried there by blood
47
What is the process of getting energy called?
respiration
48
What happens when the muscles are working harder to they need more glucose and oxygen?
The blood flow increases, the blood vessels narrow and the blood pressure raises and eventually it becomes impossible for the muscles to get enough oxygen so they use a different process of getting energy called anaerobic respiration.
49
What is produced during anaerobic respiration?
lactic acid
50
Why does lactic acid build up in the muscles
because of poor training | because of a deletion of glucose stores
51
What does lactic acid do?
Makes muscles ache
52
What must athletes do to get ride of lactic acid?
rest while the blood brings fresh oxygen and supplies
53
What are 3 effects of regular exercise on the CV system?
Decreased resting heart rate heart recovery rate become quicker increase stroke volume
54
What does a resting heart rate give an indication of
fitness
55
Why does resting heart rate give an indication of fitness?
because the more you train, the stronger and bigger your heart gets so it can supply the same amount of blood in fewer pumps. So a fitter person's heart is more efficient.
56
What is heart recovery rate?
the speed at which the heart returns to normal after exercise.
57
What's a long term benefit of exercise?
A faster heart recovery rate
58
What is a stroke volume?
the volume of blood pumped out of the heart in each pump.
59
What will increase the stroke volume?
If a person exercises regularly
60
What is a cardiac output?
the amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute
61
What is the cardiac output governed by?
The stroke volume and the heart/pulse rate which both change if the person participates in exercise.
62
What is the equation for cardiac output?
Cardiac Output= Stroke volume x Heart Rate
63
What What 6 things can affect your blood pressure?
``` Sex Age Weight How much exercise you do muscular development atltitude ```
64
What does fitness do to the number of capillaries within the heart muscle?
The fitter you are, the more capillaries there are within the heart muscle.
65
What's a long term benefit of exercise if you get a heart attack?
If you are fit, your blood vessel is less likely to be damaged than if you are unfit.
66
What causes the most deaths in the developed world?
Conrad Heart Disease (CHD)
67
What can cause canary heart disease (CHD) ?
``` Hereditary infections narrowing of conary arteries high blood pressure smoking ```
68
What is the most common form of canary heart disease in the UK?
atherosclerosis
69
How do you get atherosclerosis?
it's caused by a build up of fat and cholesterol on the inside walls of the arteries
70
What are symptoms of people with atherosclerosis?
short of breath | may get chest pains called angina
71
What does atherosclerosis cause?
increase in blood pressure resulting from narrow arteries which impedes blood flow which can lead to a heart attack
72
What does rest allow the heart to do?
grow
73
What two forms are cholesterol carried in?
High density lipids (HDL) | Low density lipoproteins (LDL)
74
What are high density lipids (HDL)?
they contain more protein than fat | 'Good cholesterol'
75
What do high density lipids do?
carry cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver where it removes it from the body.
76
Where do you find high density lipids (HDL)?
fruit veg whole grains
77
What are 4 factors which have a negative effect on the CV system?
high cholesterol recreational drugs sedentary lifestlye (lack of exercise (hypo kinetic disease)) stress
78
What are low density lipids (LDL)?
consists of mainly fats | known as bad cholesterol
79
What can low density lipids (LDL) do?
build up plaque which can restrict blood flow in the arteries. Blockages in blood vessels can mean that the heart has to work harder to pump blood around the body, resulting in an increase of blood pressure.
80
How do recreational drugs raise blood pressure?
they release adrenaline and adrenaline narrows the arteries and causes the heart to beat faster.
81
Why is tobacco make a major risk factor of heart disease
it lowers HDL and increases the chances of a blood clot which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
82
How could alcohol in moderation be a positive thing?
It is though to increase HDL and in the long term lower blood pressure.
83
What do some people take to control their blood pressure?
prescription drugs
84
How can sedentary living have a negative effect on the CV system?
it means that the CV system does not receive the benefits of exercise which increases the rate of obesity.
85
How can stress over time increase the risk of CV disease>
stress over a long period of time can lead to an increase in blood pressure and elevated heart rate and can also lead to depression and mood swings.
86
How can CV exercise reduce risks of CV related problems?
heart muscles increases chambers volume increase heart is able to work harder for longer it has a long term benefit
