Lecture Exam 2 Flashcards
Response of VE to exercise
Increase linearly and then greater linearly at AnT
Lower VE in trained individuals
Trained individuals can go to greater work rate and higher VE
Reponse of VCO2 to exercise
Increase linearly and then greater linearly at AnT
Lower VCO2 in trained individuals
Trained VCO2 can go to greater work rate and higher VCO2
Response of VO2 to exercise
Increases linearly until plateau or decrease
Trained individuals can go to higher VO2 and work rate
Causes for breakaway (AnT) in VE
- Increase (breakaway) in VCO2
2. Increase lactate (Breakaway), decrease pH due to an increase of H+
Cause for breakaway (AnT) in VCO2
Breakaway in lactate production
Training effects on:
VE
VCO2
VO2
Decrease
Decrease
Increase VO2 max
Why does VE change with training
Increase ability for gase exchange:
Greater capillarisation
Larger lung volume
Greater alveolar VE due to neural adjustments
Greater blood volume and Hb levels
Decrease sensitivity for chemoreceptors to respiratory stimulators such as CO2 and Lactate in blood
Why does VCO2 change with training
Slower production of CO2 in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyle CoA and krebs cycle
Less buffering of lactic acid into CO2 and H2O
Why does VO2 change with training
Improved metabolic/biomechanical efficiency
Primary muscle fibers for:
< AT
> AT
< AT:
SO, FOG
Fat - mix oxidation
Aerobic
> AT: FOG, FG Mix - CHO Increase lactic acid Anaerobic
Alveolar ventilation rate = VA
VA =
(Vt - Vd) x f
Trained individuals have a greater VA because
Of the slow and deep breathing patterns which cause greater Vt
Vt depth and rate of breathing in trained athletes is
Slower and deeper than untrained athletes
PO2 and PCO2 move from…
Areas of high Pp to an area of lower Pp due to diffusion
Atmospheric air PO2 : PCO2 =
159 mmHg ; 0.3 mmHg
Alveoli PO2 : PCO2 =
100 mmHg : 40 mmHg
What is the reason for a decrease in PO2 and an increase of PCO2 from the atmospheric air and air in lungs
Due to dilution of atmospheric air with the residual lung gases
Time for gas exchange at
Rest =
Exercise =
Limiting factor?
- 75 seconds
- 3 - 0.4 seconds
However it is not a limiting factor because it only takes 0.3 seconds for complete gas exchange to occur
Diffusion of O2 happens in:
Lungs: Alveoli to pulmonary capillaries
Muscle tissue: muscle capillaries to muscle tissue
Diffusion of CO2 happens in:
Lungs: Pulmonary capillaries to alveoli
Muscle tissue: muscle tissue to muscle capillaries
PO2 is greatest when and where
Before the exchange
In arteries (100)
PCO2 is greatest when and where
After the exchange
In veins (46)
When you breathe in it causes pressure to
Increase
When you breathe out it causes pressure to
Decrease
