1st lab determined physiology during Exercise
Focused on physiology of human movement and effects of environmental stress on exercise

Energy Systems
Stored ATP-CP (Immediate) Anaerobic Metabolism/Glycolysis (short term) Aerobic Metabolism (long term)
VO2
Volume of oxygen consumed at a given workload. ONLY WHAT HAS BEEN CONSUMED BY LUNGS. Measures aerobic fitness (mlO2/kg/min)
Homeostasis
Maintenance of a constant internal environment
Steady state
Relates to an unchanging situation. HR is not increasing or decreasing
Anaerobic Threshold
Onset of blood lactate accumulation. It is the point at which the extra energy for exercise must come from anaerobic sources and therefore increase blood lactate
Oxygen Consumption
Relative
Absolute
