Exph 1+2 (EXPH 386/389) Flashcards
What causes the heart beat noise?
Lub - Tricuspid/Mitral valve close
Dub - Pulmonary/Aortic valve close
What is an Athlete heart?
Thickening of the wall of LEFT ventricle
Blood flow in heart?
body - vena cava - right atrium - right ventricle- pulmonary artery - LUNGS - pulmonary veins - left atrium - left ventricle - aorta to body
Why athletes have great SV?
Increased compliance of left ventricle, allows for greater volume
What are METs?
1 MET = 1 kcal = 3.5 ml/kg/min
Resting metabolism or oxygen uptake
Blood flow in heart?
body - vena cava - right atrium - right ventricle- pulmonary artery - LUNGS - pulmonary veins - left atrium - left ventricle - aorta to body
What is the total production of ATP from glucose in the skeletal muscle?
36
What happens during intense exercise?
pH decreases as VCO2 and lactate production increase
What measures changes in muscle length?
Muscle spindles- stretch reflex. primary response to any stretch of a muscle and initiates a stronger muscle action to counteract this stretch
What measures changes in muscle tension?
Golgi tendon organ (GTO) - detects differences in the tension generated by active muscle to protect the muscle and surrounding connective tissue from injury due to sudden or excessive loads
Inspiration of lungs
airs moves into lungs – chest cavity elongates and enlarges and air expands the lungs
Expiration of lungs
air moves to the atmosphere – at rest this is passive – with exercise this is active
Dyspnea
difficult breathing, “shortness of breath”
What measures work?
Ergometry- measures work output
What are watts?
Unit of power (km/min)/6
CDC guidelines:
75 minutes of vigorous intensity + 2 or more days
———
mix of both intensity + 2 or more days
