Exercise Flashcards
What is Acute?
Single, isolated session that elicits transient physiological response
What is Chronic?
Repetition of single bouts
produce permanent physiological adaptations
Exercise training response
What are general responses to acute exercise?
Increased metabolism due to increased muscle contraction
Cardiovascular system increases to meet metabolic demand
Adjusting Q, blood flow and pressure
Acute
What is Resting Heart Rate?
Average HR = 70 bpm highly variable (40-100bpm) Affected by -environment and stress Decreases with age and increase cardiovascular fitness
Acute
What is the HR response to exercise?
HR increases at exercise onset
-Levels off during submax
-increases during graded exercise
Plateau at HR max
Acute
What is max HR?
Highest HR is acheived during max 215-220 bpm Declines with age Sympathetic increases Parasympathetic decreases
Formula HR SV Q MABP
220-age
EDV-ESV
HR x SV
Q x TPR
Acute
Stroke Volume at rest
Blood pumped by one ventricle in a single contraction
Average is 70ml/beat
25% lower in women
Acute
Stroke Response to exercise
SV increases at exercise onset up to 40-60% max intensity
May increase up until max (depends on body position)
Major determinant of max cardiovascular work capacity
Three Mechanisms responsible for increasing SV
1) Frank-Starling Mechanism
2) Increased contractility due to sympathetic stimulation
3) Reduced TPR
1) Frank - Starling Mechanism
Increased venous return = increase blood prior to contraction
Increased EDV stretches (Preload)
Greater stretch = greater force
Increased SV
2) Increased contractility due to sympathetic stim
Independent of changes in EDV
Greater stretch - optimal length - greater contractility
3) Reduced TPR (After load)
Vasodilation in working muscles
Acute
What is Cardiac Output?
Volume of blood pumped/ventricle during a given period of time
Average 5ml/min
Indicator of cardiovascular systems capacity to meet exercise demands
Acute
Cardiac output during exercise
Increase during exercise with increase intensity
Amount of increase depend on trained state
Sedentary = 20L/min
Trained = 40L/min
When intensity exceed 40-60% max, Q increase is due to increased HR
