Exercise Science CH 2 Flashcards
Relative VO2max
mL/kg/min
Absolute VO2max
L/min
Working at higher intensities 2
Improves body composition
Larger increases in respiratory fitness
Short duration high intensity training utilizes
More anaerobic pathways
Interval training emphasizes
Fast twitch muscle fiber recruitment
Adding interval training will de-emphasize
Slow twitch muscle fiber endurance
Tidal volume decreases when 2
Inadequate exchange of gas in alveoli
O2 is low, CO2 is high = unable to breathe efficiently
Why does SV increase during exercise 2
Increase in blood returning to heart increases ejection fraction
Heart contracts more forcefully
Aerobic glycolysis occurs in
Mitochondria
Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in
Cytoplasm
Oxidative glycolysis occurs as a result of
Sufficient oxygen
RER measures 2
How many calories burned during steady state cardio
Measures body’s ability to utilize oxygen during activity
High altitude 3
Don’t exercise first night
Prolonged warm ups and cool downs
Reduce intensity
