Introductory Flashcards
Human Physiology
Studies how the body functions
Exercise Physiology
Studies how the body’s structures and functions are altered when exposed to acute and chronic bouts of energy
Exercise or tra
Skeletal Disease
osteoporosis, arthritis
Neuromuscular Disorder
SCIs, CP, ASD
Cardiovascular Disease
Afib, CAD, MI, CHF, Stroke
Pulmonary Disease
COPD, CRPD
Metabolic Disease
Diabetes
Acute Responses
How the body responds to an individual bout of physical activity, when you start
Chronic Adaptations
How the body responds over time to the stress of repeated bouts of exercise referred to as training effects
Fick Equation
VO2max = HR x Stroke Volume x a-v O2 difference
Relative VO2
ml/kg/min
Absolute VO2
l/min
a-v O2 Difference
arterial venous difference, increase that and VO2 max will increase
Blood Pressure =
Total Peripheral Resistance x HR x Stroke Volume
Independent Variable
