Exam 2 Flashcards
Cardiovascular physiology
Transport O2 and waste products
Blood is oxygenated in lungs (O2 binds to hemoglobin)
Cardiac Output=
Heart rate x Stoke Volume
Volumetric flow rate the hearts output
Heart rate=
220-age
Stroke volume
Left ventricle volume
Cardiovascular training=
Strengths of contractions and volume of left ventricle increases
VO2 max is…
Cardiovascular fitness
Humans consume O2
VO2 Max is the measurement…
of the body’s maximal capacity to consume O2
Fick Equation
VO2 Max= [HR max x SV max] x (a-v) O2 diff
HR max x SV max=
O2 delivery
(a-v)O2 diff=
O2 extraction
Cardiovascular training increases
VO2 Max
Ventilation
Breathing in
Exercise increases ventilation
Expiration
Breathing out
With exercise lungs…
do not change
Inspiration muscles=
More fatigue resistance
Increased vascularization around ALVEOLI
What affects ventilation
Muscle pH (exercise) and altitude
Hot Environment Challenges
Dehydration
Increase in core temp
Hot Environment training…
Increases blood volume
Improves thermoreregulatory control (early and more sweating)
What do athletes and non athletes use for hot temps…
Saunas
Impacts performance and health
Cold Environment Challenges
Appropriate clothing
Respiratory system warms and humidifies the air
Optimal running temp: 50 degrees
Cold Environment Concerns
Clothing
Microclimates: Don’t start a workout already warm
Dexterity
Cold Environment
Exposure can lead to physiological adaptations that allow us to better tolerate the cold
Common Tools for Exercise Physiologist
Metabolic Cart: O2, CO2, Spirometry
Muscle Biopsy (In Vivo)
ECG
Skin Fold Calipers: Fat under skin is proportional to fat in body
Accelerometer base device: Activity in real time outside of lab
Electromyography (EMG)
Environmental Chamber
Ultrasound
Skeletal Muscle Physiology Functions
Movement and Posture: Attaches bone and controls joint movement
Heat Production: 75% energy
Protection
Pressure
Myofibrils contain…
Sarcomeres: smallest contractile unit of a muscle
Actin
Myosin
Thin filament
Thick filament
Muscles depolarized…
From the nervous system
Have calcium and ATP available for muscle contraction to occur
Skeletal Muscle Physiology Resistance Training
Training improves strength and size of muscle
Muscle hypertrophy is the result of FIBER HYPERTROPHY and FIBER HYPERPLASIA
Types of Muscle Fibers
Different fatigue rate and rate force
Type I, Type IIA, Type IIX
Type I Muscle Fibers
Slow twitch oxidative or SO
Slow tension development and highly fatigue
Type IIA Muscle Fibers
Fast twitch oxidative-glycolytic or FOG
Fast tension development and fatigue resistant
Type IIX Muscle Fibers
Fast twitch glycolytic or FG
Fast tension development and fatigue quickly
Skeletal Muscular Adaptations
Training focuses on adaptations in muscular strength
Muscular power
Exercise Physiologists…(physiology of Exercise)
do not diagnose
Physiology of Exercise
Eisenhower 1950s
Physical Fitness rec: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
Genetics
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) (Bioenergetics and Metabolism)
Used for energy
Carbohydrate (Bioenergetics and Metabolism)
4 kcals/gram
Fat (Bioenergetics and Metabolism)
9 kcals/gram
Protein (Bioenergetics and Metabolism)
4 kcals/grams
Metabolic pathways
- ATP-PCr (1 ATP)
- Anaerobic Glycolysis (2-3 ATP)
- Aerobic Metabolism : Oxidative (CHO: 32-33 ATP; Fat: >100 ATP)
With training, use aerobic metabolism at higher intensities exercises
Sport and Exercise Psychologist study…
the ABC’s of physical activity
A: Affect- what we feel; moods and emotions
B: Behavior- What we do; actions and inactions
C: Cognitions- What we think
Mood vs Emotion
Mood last longer and is not targeted
Emotion is shorter and targeted
Sport and Exercise Psychologists strive to meet key goals
Understand psychosocial factors that influence PA Performance
Understand psychological effects of PA
Enhance experiential outcomes for PA Participants
Careers for Sports Psychologists and Exercise Psychologists
Professors
Consults for sports teams
Enhance performance for firefighters, surgeons, combat soldiers, business execs.
Worksite or community wellness through exercise and physical activity promotion
Not synonymous with clinical or counseling psychologists
Motivation
Complex set of internal and external forces that influence organisms to behave in certain ways
Exists on a continuum: Self Determination Theory
Self Determination Theory
First theory to say no
