exercise physiology Flashcards
what is oxygen extraction
when oxygen is pulled from circulation to support cellular production of energy for muscle contraction
how can you improve oxygen extraction
with endurance training
what is the normal ca-vo2 difference
5vol%
how much can ca-vo2 increase with maximum excercise
15vol%
what is resting vo2
3.5 ml/kg/min
what does maximum vo2 depend on
genetics, conditioning, presence/absence of disease
how many mets does resting vo2 equal
1 met
what is normal vo2 max greater than
84% of predicted
how else can o2 consumption be predicted
from work rate
what is vo2 peak
when exercise is stopped early due to dyspnea, pain, or peripheral vascular disease
what is normal vco2
200ml/min or 2.8 ml/min/kg
what does exhaled co2 depend on
matching of alveolar ventilation
what does RER stand for
respiratory exchange ratio
what does rer reflect
rq in low to moderate steady state exercise
what is rer effected by
hypoventilation and hyperventilation
what does greater than 1.0 indicate for rer
increased co2 from lactate buffering
normal rer is
0.8
what does rq stand for
respiratory quotient
what does rq measure
ratio of vco2 to vo2 at tissues
which has lower rq carbs or fat
fat
