Exercise and Cardiovascular System Flashcards
What controls HR?
SA node and automaticity
What is steady state and when is it typically reached?
optimal HR for a given workload (HR should flatten out)
1-2min
What is training effect?
heart rate will be less same workload over time
*don’t make goals for this bc many factors play a role
How do you calculate HRMax
220 - age
low-level stress test __%HRMax
sub-max stress test __%HRMax
75%
85%
What is stroke volume?
The amount of blood pumped out of the ventricle each cardiac cycle or heart beat
How do you calculate stroke volume?
SV = End diastolic volume - End systolic volume
SV = EDV - ESV
What is end diastolic volume and end systolic volume
EDV = how much is in ventricles during filling
ESV = how much is remaining
What is the relationship between preload (how much blood is in the heart), EDV, and SV
inc preload –> inc EDV –> ESV
more tension = more blood out
What is the relationship between afterload, ESV, and SV
(afterload is the pressure the ventricles need to over come in oder to eject blood)
Inc after-load –> inc ESV –> dec SV
___ is the pressure the ventricles need to over come in oder to eject blood
After-load
Intrinsic and Extrinsic factors that influence contractility
intrinsic - myocardial stretch (EDV)
extrinsic - sympathetic stimulation (epinephrine)
How does our body do venous return
gastroc - walking
one way valves up legs
respiratory pump - ICV passes through diaphragm
What happens to stroke volume as venous return increases? why?
increases because there is more blood to be pumped in and out
What is normal stroke volume? how does it change if you are an athlete
70 ml/beat
increases if you are an athlete
What is cardiac output
volume of blood pumped out per min
