Lab Exam 2 Flashcards
Anaerobic Threshold (AnT)
transition from predominantly aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production as workload increases.
- Moderate Intensity
- LAST oxygen uptake rate value (VO2)
Aerobic Exercise
presence of oxygen
oxidative metabolic pathways primary source of energy production (Aerobic glycolysis, beta oxidation)
Anaerobic Exercise
absence of oxygen
anaerbic metabolic pathways primary source of energy production (phosphagen metabolism, anaerobic glycolysis)
Identifying Anaerobic Threshold
- Last oxygen uptake rate value (VO2) fitting the linear trend when VE is plotted against VO2
- linear trend breaks = AnT
Maximal Oxygen Uptake Rate
maximal rate at which oxygen can be consumed per minute (VO2 max)
VO2max is estimated on the basis of the work rate which yields a steady-state heart rate of approximately 70% of age-predicted maximal heart rate (PHRmax = 220 - Age in years.)
Identifying Maximal Oxygen Uptake Rate
highest VO2 value achieved during graded maximal effort exercise test
Criteria for determining if VO2 max has been reached
- plateau or decrease in VO2 as workload increases
- R value equal to or greater than 1.0
How does endurance training improve health
Increases myocardial efficiency because of result in increased stroke volume and decrease in heart rate which decreases myocardial oxygen requirement for given cardiac output
How to assess/calculate pulmonary lung volume
Vital Capacity: A - D or Maximal Expiration - Held Maximal Breath Inspiration
Norms for Vital Capacity based on gender, age, and height (9-7)
Tidal Volume (TV)
Volume inspired or expired per breath
Increases during exercise
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Maximal Volume Inspired from end-inspiration
Decrease During Exercise
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
Maximal Volume Expired from end-inspiration
Slight decrease During Exercise
Residual Volume (RV)
Volume remaining at end of maximal expiration
Slight decrease During Exercise
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
Volume in lung at end of maximal expiration
Slight decrease During Exercise
Vital Capacity (VC)
Maximal amount of air you can exhale after one breath
Slight decrease During Exercise
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
Maximal volume inspired from resting expiratory level
Increase During Exercise
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
Volume in Lungs at resting expiratory level
Slight increase during exercise
Long-Term Training effects on lung volumes and capacities
Lung volumes at rests (except TV) are generally smaller in an untrained person than a trained individual
What are the two Components of Body Composition
Fat component (adipose/lipids) Lean body component (bones, muscles, organs)
What are the densities of the two components of body composition in relation to the density of water
Fat component tend to have a density of .90 gm/ml
Lean component tend to have a density of 1.10 gm/ml
Relationship between body weight, body volume, body density, percent body fat
Body Weight - used to calculate Body volume
Body Volume - used to calculate Body Density
Body Density - used to calculate % body fat
How to perform underwater weighing
Measure body weight in swimsuit to the nearest .25 pound
Apply nose clip & have subject sit, leaning in front of spirometer
Subject takes several deep breaths w/ mouthpiece from spirometer on, then with lungs filled maximally. Have them blow max air into spirometer in one sharp expiration, then remove mouthpiece (repeat 3 times total & measure air temperature in last trial)
Have subject enter tank and sit in seat, remove any air trapped in swimsuit
Have subject tuck head underwater, expel all air in lungs, and slowly count to 10 until subject can resurface (repeat 6-10 times)
Record weight each time & stabilize scale
Further trials may need to be done if weights from multiple trials are drastically different ( greater than 0.15 kg different)
how to calculate body volume
Use Bodyweight, true underwater weight, water density and residual volume, used to calculate Body Density
TUWW - find underwater weight (average of three trials), subtract it from 4.91 kg
Water Density - based on temperature and standardized table
Residual volume - (Vital capacity (found in experiment) x BTPS) x .24 for males / .28 for females
Equation
((((BW-TUWW) divided by water density) - residual volume) - .1)
How to find body density
Body weight divided by body volume
Equation → BW / BV
How to find % Body fat
Equation → (((4.57 / Body density) - 4.142) x 100)
