Lecture 2 Flashcards
What are the general health benefits of being fit/performing physical activity
- Reduces stress
- Sleep better
- Releasing endorphins
- Confidence
- Improved circulation
- Body comp
- Brian health effects
- Mobility
- Social Benefits
- Chronic Disease decrease
Effects of physical activity on human phys-respiration?
• Being active increases O2 consumption
• When you exercise, O2 increases because of more ATP is needed to perform the activity.
-Need CO2 out as Muscles are working, need to have that exchange
what is resting, untrained, and trained males O2 consumption?
○ Resting 250ml/min
○ Untrained male: 3600ml/min
○ Trained male: 4000ml/min
What are the goals of respiration?
To provide O2 to tissues
To remove CO2 from tissue
hat are the 4 major events of respiration?
○ Pulmonary ventilation or the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the atmosphere and the lungs
○ Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood (important because it can get more efficient)
○ Transport of O2 and CO2 in the blood to tissues
○ Regulation and ventilation
How can diffusion in respiration get more efficient?
Can increase max O2 consumption as you train. You have a greater ability to work at higher intensity and greater ability to consume O2.
-Males can double
In terms of respiratory phys, what is the limiting factor?
Ventilation is not limiting during activity
Limiting is the flow (transport mechanisms)
What are the 2 things that can improve with training for respiration?
Diffusion
VO2 max
What is the end goal of CV function during exercise?
To deliver O2 and other nutrients to the muscle
How much does muscle blood flow increase during exercise?
Drastically:
Resting 3.6
Max 90ml
What is the increase in blood flow made possible by?
This increase is caused not only by factors in the muscle themselves, bnut to an increase in mean arterial pressure
What is arterial pressure?
this increases the focrce by which blood is pushed thorught he vessels an d distends the vessels to decrease resistance
What is cardio disease?
whether or not your endothelium can respond to dilate
What do we see increasing in the body when we exercise?
○ Increase muscle work output= increase O2 consumption
○ Increase O2 consumption=dilation of vessel
○ Increase venous return=increase cardiac output
What is the min and max cardiac output?
Rest 5.5L/min
Max output: 23L/min
What adaptions we see in the body with training in regards to cardiac output?
○ Potential increases in heat muscle mass
○ Resting cardiac output remains similar to a normal person however
- Increase stroke volume at a decrease heart ratee (more blood pumped out of the heart per beat)
○ Resting heart rate is lower because you pump more out and therefore beat less per minute
What are the metabolic health benefits exercise?
○Improved insulin sensitivity
○May require an intensity of 70% VO2 max or more
○Improved BP
○Improved blood lipids
-Moost benefits are due to the acute bouts of physical activity
How is insulin sensitivity improved with physical activity?
○ Due to increasedes in insulin signalling intermediate
○ Increases in GLUT 4 protein. Goes to the surface as well as insulin but GLUT 4 is not affected by diabetes
○ GLUT 4 stays elevated after exercise for 48hours
○ Exercise increase insulin signal and increases glucose uptake.
-Muscles are responsible for 75% of glucose disposal
How does BP improve with physical activity?
Occurs acutely and at lower intensities (40%VO2 max)
How are blood lipids improved with physical activity?
Increase HDL (moves it a little easier, takes cholesterol out or bloodstream)
Decrease TG and LDL but only after prolponged exercise
WHAT is EPOC?
Excessive post exercise O2 consumption
- If exercised for a period of time, after you will continue to burn cals after you stop. How long this lasts depends on how are your workout was
- -Helps you burn extra calories while sitting
In EPOC, What happens wheen you stop exercising and go into rest?
○ Replenish glycogen stores
○ Get rid of CO2, ventilation and cardio rate will come down but takes a few mins
○ Cool yourself off
How do you increase your EPOC?
Longer you work at moderate intensity the higher your EPOC
At what intensity do you see benefits for EPOC?
Around 60-70%
-moderate intensite
What are the 2 phase contributions the EPOC gives to the body?
Rapid short phase (lasts 1hr)
Prolonged phase (up to 48hrs)
What benefits do you see in the rapid short phase of EPOC?
Replenish O2 in blood and muscle ATP/P-creatine synthesis Lactate removal Body temp regulation (reduce acidity) Ventilation and repsoation and regulation
What benefits do you see in the prolonged phase of EPOC?
Re-esterificaiton of FA to take them back up and store them
○ They are released for energy when exercising
Protein synthesis
○ Micro tearing of the muscle and bone
