25
Q

What happens to SBP and DBP as exercise intensity increases?

A
  • SBP increases

- DBP stays constant, or lowers

26
Q

What causes the drop in DBP with exercise?

A

Muscular vasodilation causes a drop in TPR

27
Q

SBP rises in proportion to what?

28
Q

What happens to DBP with resistance exercises?

A

Increased TPR d/t resistance to flow in the muscles

29
Q

What is the relative increase in BP and HR with arm exercise compared to leg? What is the significance of this?

A

Arm causes a higher increase in HR and BP

MIs frequently occur with arm exercise

30
Q

What is the range of average VO2max?

A

30s, with higher being better

31
Q

What is the VO2max that indicates difficulties with ADLs?

A

12-14 ml/kg*min

32
Q

What are METs?

A

x resting VO2

33
Q

What is the relation between HR and work rate?

A

Will increase in similar amounts.

34
Q

What is the use of submaximal tests or walking tests?

A

Increase in distance for a 6 min walk test

measures improvement

35
Q

What is the equation for VO2?

A

HR x SV x avgO2 diff

36
Q

What causes the increase in HR with exercise?

A

Vagal withdrawal, increases in SNS

37
Q

What is the max HR equation?

A

208- (0.7 x age)

38
Q

Why does stroke volume increase with exercise? (3)

A
  • Increased venous return
  • SNA on cardiac muscle (Ca)
  • Decreased TPR
39
Q

What is the Ca induced Ca release model of cardiac myocytes?

A

Increase in Ca from SNS increase, increases contractility

40
Q

What is avO2 difference?

A

Difference between the oxygen content in arterial blood and venous blood

41
Q

Why does the avO2 difference increase with exercise? (2)

A
  • Redistribution of flow to active tissues during exercise

- Rightward shift of oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve

42
Q

What happens to the hypothalamic set point with increased heat with exercise?

A

No change in the set point, but still regulated

43
Q

What is the compensatory response to increased heat generation? How?

A

Cutaneous vasodilation d/t dual innervation of the SNS

44
Q

What are the four responses to cold?

A
  • Cutaneous vasoconstriction
  • Piloerection
  • Shivering
  • Increased thermogenesis
45
Q

What are the two major responses to increased heat?

A
  • Cutaneous vasodilation

- sweating and evaporation

46
Q

True or false: skin competes with muscle for flow during exercise

47
Q

What does it mean that skin is a compliant circulation?

A

Readily changes circulation with temperature changes

48
Q

Why is heating a cardiac strain?

A

Blood is shunted into skin, meaning more CO is needed to maintain homeostasis

49
Q

What happens to SV with prolonged sweating from exercise? How is this compensated for?

A

Drops d/t dehydration

Increases HR

50
Q

What is the MOA of heat related stress problems?

A

Decreased SV causes problems if heart has issues increasing rates

51
Q

What is phase I of integrated regulation during exercise?

A

Central command increases ventilatory rate

52
Q

What is phase II of integrated regulation during exercise?

A

Ve rises to reach steady state

53
Q

Lactate accumulation in exercise is due to what?

A

Inability to remove it

54
Q

What is the LT?

A

Point at which lactate accumulates within the blood

55
Q

What is the VT?

A

VE/VO2 relationship departs from linearity

56
Q

What happens physiologically with exercise training?

A

Better at extracting the O2, so decreased muscle blood flow spares blood for thermoregulation

57
Q

What are the metabolic adaptations to training? (5)

A
  • Increased mitochondrial response
  • Capillary density
  • Glucose sparing effect
  • Blood lactate clearance
  • Insulin sensitivity
58
Q

What are the GLUT transporters that are increased with exercise?

59
Q

What does it mean that exercise is a natural insulin?

A

Will cause an increase in GLUT4

60
Q

What are the two primary controllers of ventilatory rate?

A

CO2 and pH

61
Q

What happens in phase III of ventilation during exercise?

A

Fine tuning through peripheral feedback

62
Q

What happens in the recovery phase of ventilation regulation?

A

Abrupt loss of central command and peripheral muscle causes drop in ventilation
