26
Q

with an increase or encouraging muscle growth what additional factors do we see ?

A
  • more demand on body
  • more ATP
  • need to increase blood volume
  • increase production of RBC
27
Q

what does plasma volume induce an increase in ?

A

SV

28
Q

plasma volume induced increase in SV causes what ?

A

an increase in CO such that VO2 max

29
Q

increasing our total circulating blood volume means what for our ventricles ?

A

allows our ventricles to fill to a greater extent

30
Q

when our ventricles fill at a greater extent; what does this improve ?

A

improve our SV at any given level of intensity including maximal exercise intensity

31
Q

what is hypertrophy ?

A

an increase and growth of muscle cells

32
Q

the bigger/thicker your muscle fibers are …

A

the stronger your rate of force development is going to be

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

the thicker and stronger (more force) a muscle has the more blood it can pump out ?

A

TRUE

34
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

CO, VR & output from the left and right side of the heart have to be equal (SV not different on either sides)

A

TRUE

35
Q

FILL IN THE BLANK

an increase in SV = increase in _____ and ____

A

CO and VO2

36
Q

FILL IN THE BLANK
(use systole and diastole)

we’re able to accept more blood in ______ so a stronger ______ excepts more blood and thus generates a great stroke volume

A

diastole - systole

37
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

endurance athletes have a bigger heat … higher VO2 max

A

TRUE

38
Q

what is afterload ?

A

pressure heart must generate to open aortic valve

39
Q

what are peripheral adaptions relate to ?

A

O2 transport/delivery

40
Q

an increase in peripheral circulation =

A

increase of VO2 max

41
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

higher VO2max due to increase Hb content (increase CaO2)

A

TRUE

42
Q

what does MAP stand for ?

A

mean arterial pressure

43
Q

what does TPR stand for ?

A

total peripheral resistance to flow

44

A

trained individuals

49
Q

does capillarization increase or decrease surface are for tissue gas exchange ?

A

increases

50
Q

what word is used for the following :

  • site of gas exchange
  • if we increase our SA for tissue gas exchange and allow us more extract more O2
A

capillarization

51
Q

do we increase muscle fiber number with exercise training ?

A

yes?

52
Q

can we grow new capillaries during exercise training ?

A

yes

53
Q

is an increase # and size of mitochondria good or bad ?

A

good

what is mitochondrial volume density ?

A

space within skeletal muscle occupied by mitochondria

55
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

VO2 max related to mitochondria volume

A

TRUE

56
Q

what does it mean if you have more mitochondria ?

A

we’re going to be able to utilize more O2 at greater rates (which translates to an improved VO2 max)

what are some effects of an increased mitochondria volume density ?

A

increase quantity and activation fo enzymes in the TCA cycle and electron transport chain
