Lab Exam #2 Flashcards
anaerobic threshold
transition from predominantly aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production as work increase
aerobic exercise
performed in presence of oxygen
oxydative metabolic pathways are dominant source of energy production
anaerobic exercise
performed in absence of oxygen
anaerobic metabolic pathways are dominant source of energy production
definition of anaerobic threshold in relation to ventilation rate
last oxygen uptake rate (VO2) fitting the linear trend when expired ventilation rate is plotted against VO2
methods to identify anaerobic threshold
identification of breakaway in ventilation rate
identification of breakaway in lactate acid production
identificationo of breakaway in carbon dioxide production rate
rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of 15-16
maximal oxygen uptake rate (VO2max)
maximal rate at which oxygen can be consumed per minute
highest VO2 value during max effort
what is VO2max expressed as?
L/min or ml/kg/min
criteria indicating that VO2max was used
plateau or decrease in VO2 as workload increases
HR within 10 bpm of age predicted max HR
respiratory exchange ratio (R) greater than 1.0
rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of 18-20
when are anaerobic threshold and VO2max used
prediction of cardiorespiratory fitness
prediction of endurance performance capabilities
exercise prescription
setting long-term work paces
setting tolerance to environmental extremes
what is cardiorespiratory endurance
ability of lungs and heart to take in and transport adequate amounts of oxygen to working muscles
what does cardiorespiratory endurance allow
activities involving large muscle mass over long periods of time
fick equation
VO2 = Q (cardia output) x O2 extration by muscle
equation for cardiac output
Q = SV x HR
O2 extraction by muscle
arterial - venous O2 level
total work of endurance training

what does VO2 max reflect
power or capacity of aerobic system
what does the anaerobic threshold reflect
onset of metabolic acidosis
how can anaerobic threshold be determined
by measuring increase in blood lactate (lacate threshold) or meauring expired ventilation rate and gases (ventilatory threshold)
identification of ventilatory threshold
nonlinear increase in expired ventilation rate
nonlinear increase in carbon dioxide production rate
increase in fraction of oxygen in expired air without decrease in fraction of carbon dioxide in expired air
increasing respiratorxy quotient
low fitness classification based on VO2max

moderate fitness classifiaction based on VO2max
females: 30-44 ml/kg/min
males: 35-49 ml/kg/min
exercise prescription for moderate fitness classification individuals
Intensity: 70-80% of maxHR 60-75% of VO2max RPE = 13 - 15 aware of ventilation rate (increased breathing rate and depth) Duration: 30 - 45 min per session Frequency: 4 days per week

males >(or even) 50 ml/kg/min
exercise prescription for high fitness classification individuals
Intensity: 80-90% of maxHR 75-85% of VO2max RPE = 15-17 hyperventilatory response respiraory distress (rapid breathing rate) Duration: 45-60 min per session Frequency: 5 days per week
