16
Q

2 immediate response to exercise?

A

Increased breathing rate to get O2 to muscles

Deeper breathing to get more O2 in the lungs

17
Q

What is blood pressure?

A

The force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of the blood vessels

18
Q

What is systolic pressure?

A

Amount of pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts

19
Q

What is diastolic pressure?

A

Amount of pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest

20
Q

What is pulse pressure?

A

Diastolic pressure

21
Q

When does adrenaline kick in?

A

Prior to the start of exercise

22
Q

What is the heart rate rest range?

A

60-80

23
Q

Why does adrenaline make us perform better?

A

The blood is already pumping to the muscles

24
Q

Cardiac Output = ?

A

Cardiac Output = SV X HR

Stroke Volume) X (Heart Rate

25
Q

6 Long term effects of exercise

A
Lower resting heart rate
Lower Blood pressure
Increased stroke volume
Increased Cardiac output
Faster heart rate recovery
Healthier veins and arteries
26
Q

Why does heart rate drop as a long term effect of exercise?

A

The heart gets bigger so can exert more blood around the body each beat, working less as more blood comes out in one beat

27
Q

Larger heart = ?

A

Larger heart = Bigger ventricles

Bigger size of myocardium

28
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

Amount of blood that leaves the ventricles in one beat

29
Q

Why does stroke volume increase?

A

Because as the heart increases so does the amount of blood that is released from the ventricles.

30
Q

What is oxygen debt?

A

A temporary oxygen shortage in the body

31
Q

How does the oxygen combat oxygen debt?

A

Keeps breathing rate high to enable oxygen to get back into the bloodstream which helps disperse the lactic acid

32
Q

Why do we warm down?

A

To make our muscles squeeze and act as a pump to push oxygenated blood around the body

33
Q

What are the alveoli’s surrounded by?

A

Capillaries

34
Q

What comes OUT of the alveoli and INTO the blood?

A

Oxygen

35
Q

What goes INTO the alveoli and OUT the blood?

A

Carbon Dioxide

36
Q

What happens when we inhale?

A

Intercostal muscles contract lifting the rib cage up and out.
Diaphram contracts flattening to increase chest cavity size

37
Q

What happens when we exhale?

A

Intercostal muscles relax lowering the rib cage down and in.

Diaphram reduces going back into a dome shape reducing the size of the chest cavity
