7
Q

what are the two key mediators for endurance athletes and how do these increae over time

A

vo2 and aerobic threshold
increase in vo2 max is smaller but faster than the increase in threshold.

Q

why measure max aerobic power?

A

major determinant of endurance performance in many contexts
sets the upper limit for producing ATP aerobically
tests the response capacities of almost all systems
suitability fro surgery
exercise prescription and monitoring training outcomes.

Q

what do you need at least two of to measure max vo2.

A

fatigue, plateau vo2

Q

how to measure non/sustainable thresholds of aerobic capacities?

A

max sustainable pace e.g for 30 minutes.
a crictical power curve
ventilatory thresholds
lactate curves
informally: <15/20

13
Q

what happens if you increase economy.

A

will be able to have a decrease in o2 at matched speed or power.
decrease in heat load, dehydration, glycolysis.

16
Q

what does CO * o2 extraction =

A

vo2

17
Q

which part of the vo2 equation is o2 delivery

A

the cardiac output (HR *SV)
and (Ca) in o2 extraction. this is from the central

18
Q

what is the o2 extraction equation.

A

(CaO2-cvO2)
cao2 is the arterial
cvo2 is the venous
peripheral aspect of vo2

19
Q

factors that influence o2 delivery

A

alveolar ventilation
cardiac output
oxygen carrying capacity.
capacity of arteries and arterioles
capillarisation.

20
Q

why is Ve trainable ?

A

yes: decrease Ve at a given VO2. (deeper breaths - helps alveolar ventilation)
yes: increase respiratory muscle resistance to fatigue.

21
Q
A
22
Q

why is increase respiratory muscle resistance to fatigue helpful

A

maybe important in very hard sustained or repeated exercise.

23
Q

why is ventilaition not trainable

A

little effect on ve at max effort. as ventilation isnt normally a limiting factor for max effort

24
Q

when is ventilation a limiting factor for max effort

A

obstructive pulmonary disorders
some elite endurance athletes
extended strenuous exercise.

25
Q

what are the local factors that increase stroke volume

A

increase all
left ventricle capacity
left ventricle mass
compliance
capilarisation
anti oxidant capacity

26
Q

how much can the left ventricle increase in mass

A

around 20%

27
Q

how would increase ventricle capacity increase SV

A

gives increase in end diastolic volume

28
Q

how would left ventricle mass increase sv

A

allows increase contractility (force generated)

29
Q

how does increase compliance in the heart increase SV

A

faster relaxation
less passive resistance to shortening

30
Q

how does anti-oxidant capacity in the heart effect SV

A

protects cells against prolonged ischaemia and reperfusion

31
Q

what sport has the highest ventricle thickness, volume and mass

A

rowing.

32
Q

external factors allowing increase SV aerobic training. with preload

A

increase BV (venous return)
increase time for filling (decrease HR). due to increase SNS and decrease PNS.

33
Q

what does pre load mean

A

increase preload means more stretch so stronger contraction

34
Q

external factors allowing increase SV aerobic training. with after load

A

decrease after load.
decrease BP
decrease TPR ( decrease SNS at reat and e)
increase aterial capacities
increase capillarisation

35
Q

what is afterload

A

decrease afterload allows higher ejection fraction since less work needed to eject blood.

36
Q

what would decrease in afterload mean

A

decrease in arteriol blood pressure

37
Q

what is more valueable to change HR rest or higher max HR and why?

A

lower HR rest.
gives more multiples of increase to HR max.
more filling time (increase SV)
lower o2 and energy demand

38
Q

three ways to use HR

A

HR
%HRmax
%HRRange
