Physiologic adaptations to aerobic exercise are evident in 3 areas…
at rest
during submaximal exercise
at maximal exercise (near VO2 max)
two major factors that influence endurance performance
max capacity to utilize O2 as reflected by VO2 max
exercise intensity at the OBLA or lactate threshold
the lactate threshold represents
the maximal work rate that can be maintained for prolonged periods
in healthy individuals, enhancement of VO2max is due to
increased capacity of the cardiovascular system
enhanced capacity for prolonged submaximal exercise is related to
factors that enhance the aerobic capacity of the trained muscles
in a healthy adult, how much can VO2 max improve with training
5-25%
those with low initial level of fitness can increase VO2 max by >60%
max CO x max a-v O2 difference =
VO2 max
the rise in max CO is primarily due to
increase in augmented maximal SV
why might training produce a lower HR max
due to lower resting HR
allows more time for filling of the now larger left ventricle at maximum exercise dude to increased SV
why is there a lower HR in trained individuals
increased vagal tone and decreased intrinsic HR at rest
what happens to the heart rate in submaximal VO2 after training
the HR at any given submaximal VO2 is lower … doesn’t reach max HR until higher intensity exercise when VO2 is towards max
does max HR change with training
either stays the same or decreases from 3-7%
after training, SV at rest =
higher
max SV after training
higher
at any given submaximal VO2 what is going on with SV and HR
HR is less and SV is more to maintain CO
what contributes to augmented max SV
increased EDV
increased left ventricular mass (eccentric hypertrophy)
enhance blood volume
enhanced compliance of the left ventricle
not sure on the effect of contractility
characteristics of the athletes heart
increased heart mass
normal cardiac function
reversible
failing heart characteristics
increased heart mass (bad hypertrophy) reduced cardiac function irreversible cell death and fibrosis increased mortality
resistance training will result in what type of heart hypertrophy
concentric
thicker LV walls and mild LV dilation
endurance training will result in what type of heart hypertrophy
eccentric which increases filling capacity
LV dilation
thickening of LV walls
what types of hypertrophy are not healthy
asymmetric hypertrophy and acute dilation without hypertrophy
in the first 1-4 days of training, what happens to plasma volume?

dependent on intensity and duration of training
when the plasma volume expands what happens to osmolality?
protein concentration and osmolality do not change
up to 10-14 days, when blood volume increased what happens to the hematocrit (HCT)
decreases – all the increase comes from PV
