Exercise Physiology Flashcards
What is Convective O2 Transport? Determined by?
- Movement of O2 in air or blood
- Hgb, O2 sat, CO
What is Diffusive O2 Transport? Based on? (4)
- Passive movement of O2 down concentration gradient across tissue barriers (alveolar-capillary membrane, between tissue capillaries/cells to mitochondria)
- Metabolic rate, vascular difference, tissue O2, diffusion distance
What is oxygen demand?
amount of O2 required by cells for aerobic metabolism
What is oxygen delivery (DO2)? Is the product of?
- Volume of oxygen delivered to systemic vascular bed per minute
- Is the product of cardiac output (CO) and arterial oxygen content
What is Oxygen Consumption (VO2)? (2)
- Amount of oxygen that diffuses from capillaries to mitochondria
- Amount of oxygen a person requires
What is Oxygen Extraction Ratio (OER)? Tissue oxygenation is adequate when?
- O2 delivered/consumed
- Tissue oxygenation is adequate when tissues receive sufficient oxygen to meet their metabolic needs
DO2 = ? Cardiac output (Q)? It help you determine?
DO2 = arterial oxygen x cardiac output
Cardiac output (Q) Q = SV x HR
O2 delivery
Stroke volume is affected by? (4)
Pre-load
Myocardial distensibility
Myocardial contractility
Afterload
How can we measure VO2?
Difference btwn arterial and venous lines
What is open circuit spirometry?
Subject does exercise stress test and is forced to breath in and out through mouth
How do you calculate VO2?
1) find volume O2 entering = (VI) x O2 % (convert into decimal)
2) find volume O2 entering = (VE) x O2 % (convert into decimal)
3) VO2 = (VO2 entering) – (VO2 leaving)
4) Convert to mL
5) divide by body weight
What is the Basal Metabolic Rate? Looks at? (5)
- Rate of metabolism for an individual in a completely rested state
- Work of breathing
- Heart, renal, and brain function
- Thermal regulation
What is a MET? 1 MET = ? Formula for energy cost of an activity?
- Amount of oxygen consumed while sitting at rest
- 1 MET = 3.5 mL 02/kg/min
- Energy cost of an activity: MET level = VO2/3.5
VO2 Max aka? What is a true max? What is a peak? What happens when a lot of muscle group are working at once? VO2 max is always?
- Often use maximal and peak VO2 interchangeably
- True max of what body could do if exercising all muscles at once: how much O2 is necessary to make ATP
- Peak: When body has “had enough”
- The more muscle groups working at once, the more closely VO2PEAK approximates VO2MAX
- greater than peak
How does exercise affect both DO2 and VO2?
at rest, DO2 is 3/4x greater than O2 demand. with exercise in health person, youre going to have increased metabolic demands, VO2 could increase 20fold depending on the exercise. Blood flow increases to peripheral muscles, blood vessel dilation, increases demand and extraction. increase in DO2 and VO2. Increase in CO
If DO2 declines – what happens to VO2? (2)
VO2 will stay the same
It may be different in a critically ill patient, VO2 could fall. Associated with development of anaerobic exercise, which leads to increase in lactic acid
What is O2 debt/deficit? Recovery Oxygen Consumption or Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption (PEOC)?
- Difference b/t O2 body required and what it was able to take in during activity (ex: sudden sprint) = O2 Debt or Deficit
- Once stop activity & begin to recoverneed more O2 to recover than body has available = PEOC
After a strenuous exercise there are four tasks that need to be completed?
Replenishment of ATP
Removal of lactic acid
Replenishment of myoglobin with oxygen
Replenishment of glycogen
