Q

What is specificity of local changes?

A

Overloading specific muscle groups with endurance training enhances exercise performance and aerobic power by facilitating oxygen transport and oxygen use at the local level of the trained muscles

These adaptations occur only in specifically trained muscles and only become apparent in exercise that activates this musculature

Q

What is the difference between regular muscle fibers and endurance trained ones?

A

Endurance-trained skeletal muscle fibers contain larger and more numerous mitochondria than less active fibers:.

  • This will increase the muscle’s ability to extract oxygen which consequently improves the a-vO2diff
  • This greatly increases the capacity of the muscle mitochondria to generate ATP

Q

What is the difference between an enlarged heart during exercise and an enlarged heart bc of disease?

A

The disease can induce considerable cardiac enlargement and this “hypertrophied” heart represents an enlarged, distended, and functionally inadequate organ unable to deliver sufficient blood to satisfy minimal resting requirements

Exercise training imposes only a temporary myocardial stress so rest periods provide time for “recuperation” and demonstrates normal systolic and diastolic functions and superior functional capacity for stroke volume and cardiac output

Q

How does plasma volume change during aerobic training?

A
  • A 12-20% increase in plasma volume occurs after three to six aerobic training sessions
  • A plasma volume increase enhances circulatory reserve and increases end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, oxygen transport, VO2max, and temperature regulation during exercise
  • An expanded plasma volume returns to pretraining levels within 1 week following detraining
25
Q

How does aerobic training effect the heart rate?

A

Training decreases the intrinsic firing rate of sinoatrial nodal pacemaker tissue, contributing to the resting and submaximal exercise bradycardia in highly conditioned endurance athletes or previously sedentary individuals who train aerobically

->Submaximal heart rate for a standard
exercise task frequently decreases by 12-15 bpm with endurance training,
while a much smaller decrease occurs
for resting heart rate
-this reduction coincides with increased max stroke volume and cardiac outpout

26
Q

How is SV affected during exercise?

A

Endurance training causes the heart’s stroke volume to increase during rest and exercise regardless of age or gender

27
Q

what are the factors that produce a change in SV?

A
  • Increased internal left ventricular volume and mass
  • Reduced cardiac and arterial stiffness
  • Increased diastolic filling time
  • Improved intrinsic cardiac contractile function
28
Q

Difference btw trained and untrained SV?

A
  • Endurance athletes’ hearts exhibit a considerably larger stroke volume during rest and exercise
  • The greatest stroke volume increase during upright exercise for trained and untrained occurs in the transition from rest to moderate exercise
  • Maximum stroke volume occurs between 40-50% of VO2max in untrained persons
  • For untrained individuals, only a small increase in stroke volume occurs during the transition from rest to exercise
  • For endurance athletes, heart rate and stroke volume both increase to increase cardiac output
29
Q

What happens to CO during exercise?

A

An increase in maximum cardiac output is the most significant cardiovascular adaptation with aerobic training
:.Results directly from improved stroke volume

30
Q

What’s peculiar about CO for trained athletes?

A

In trained athletes, cardiac output increases linearly with oxygen consumption throughout the major portion of the exercise intensity range

31
Q

Submax exercise CO is unchanged or slightly lower from?

A
  • Rapid training-induced changes in vasoactive properties of large arteries and local resistance vessels within skeletal and cardiac muscle
  • Muscle cells enhance their capacity to generate ATP at a lower tissue PO2
32
Q

Maximal exercise CO increases because of?

A
  • Larger maximal cardiac output (mainly SV)
  • Distribution of blood to muscle from non-active areas
  • Enlargement of cross-sectional areas of arteries and veins, 20% increase in capillarization/gram of muscle
33
Q

Aerobic training ____ the quantity of oxygen extracted from circulating blood

A

increases

34
Q

Aerobic training increases the quantity of oxygen extracted from circulating blood results for:

A

more effective cardiac output distribution to active muscles combined with enhanced capacity of trained
muscle fibers to extract and process available oxygen

35
Q

What are vascular modifications?

A

An increase in cross-sectional area of proximal coronary arteries, possible arteriolar proliferation and longitudinal growth, recruitment of collateral vessels, and increased capillary density
which provides adequate perfusion for increased blood flow and energy demands

36
Q

Aerobic training increases coronary blood flow and capillary exchange capacity from?

A
  • Improvements in myocardial vascularization by the formation of capillaries that develop into arterioles
  • More effective control of vascular resistance and blood distribution within the myocardium
37
Q

How does exercise affect blood pressure?

A

Regular aerobic training reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure during rest and submaximal exercise

38
Q

When is there the largest reduction of pressure during exercise happen?

A

The largest reduction occurs in systolic pressure, particularly in hypertensive subjects

39
Q

What are the factors that affect aerobic training responses?

A

The initial level of aerobic fitness
Training intensity
Training frequency
Training duration

(FITT)

40
Q

How does the initial level of aerobic fitness affect future training?

A

The magnitude of the training response depends on the initial fitness level

  • Someone who rates low at the start has considerable room for improvement
  • If capacity already rates high, the magnitude of improvement remains relatively small

aerobic fitness improvements with endurance training range btw 5-25%

41
Q

Training-induced adaptations rely on intensity of ____

A

overload

42
Q

How does aerobic capacity affect HR?

A

Aerobic capacity improves if exercise intensity regularly maintains heart rate between 55 and 70% of maximum
-During lower-body exercise, this heart rate increase equals about 40-55% of the VO2max

43
Q

what is the Karvoven method>

A

HRthreshold =HRrest+0.60(HRmax - HRrest)

44
Q

To keep pace with physiologic improvement as aerobic fitness improves, the exercise level must _____ to achieve the desired exercise heart rate

A

increase periodically

45
Q

If exercise intensity progression does not adjust to training improvements, the exercise program essentially becomes a ____ program

A

lower-intensity maintenance

46
Q

How is HR different during running and swimming?

A

HRmax during swimming or performing other upper-body exercises averages about 13 bpm lower for trained and untrained men and women than while running

47
Q

Why is HRmax during swimming about 13 bpm lower than while running?

A
  • Less feed-forward stimulation from the motor cortex to the medulla during swimming
  • Less feedback stimulation from the smaller, active upper-body muscle mass
  • The horizontal body position and cooling effect of the water in swimming
  • Central venous pressure
48
Q

Exercising at or slightly above the lactate threshold:

A

The higher exercise levels produce the greatest benefits, particularly for fit individuals

49
Q

Distinctions between %HRmax and lactate threshold:

A
  • %HRmax method establishes a level of exercise stress to overload the central circulation
  • Exercise intensity from the lactate threshold reflects the capability of the peripheral vasculature and active muscles to sustain steady-rate aerobic metabolism
50
Q

Based on the specificity concept, the magnitude of training improvement varies considerably depending on ___ and ___

A

training and testing mode

51
Q

What is the time required for improvements to occur in aerobic exercise?

A
  • Improvements in aerobic fitness occur within several weeks

- BUT Adaptive responses eventually level off as subjects approach their “genetically predisposed” maximums

52
Q

How do genes affect components of exercise?

A

A strenuous exercise program enhances a person’s level of fitness regardless of genetic background
HOWEVER: The limits for developing fitness capacity appear to link closely to natural endowment

think of the twin example: although one has always been active and the other is a couch potato, they both processed the same genes and had similar results.

53
Q

Factors in formulating aerobic train:

A
  • Cardiovascular overload must be intense enough to increase stroke volume and cardiac output
  • Cardiovascular overload must occur from activation of sport-specific muscle groups to enhance local circulation and the muscle’s “metabolic machinery”
54
Q

what is overtraining?

A

Represents when athletes fail to endure and adapt to training so that normal exercise performance deteriorates, and they encounter increasing difficulty fully recovering from a workout

55
Q

what does overtraining lead to?

A

to increased incidence of infections and injuries, persistent muscle soreness, and general malaise and loss of interest in sustaining high-level training

56
Q

Two clinical forms of overtraining have been described:

A

Sympathetic form

Parasympathetic form

57
Q

Overload:

A

A planned, systematic, and progressive increase in training to improve performance

58
Q

Overreaching:

A

Unplanned, excessive overload with inadequate rest. Poor performance is observed in training and competition. Successful recovery should result from short-term interventions

59
Q

Overtraining syndrome:

A

Untreated overreaching that produces long-term decreased performance and impaired ability to train. Other associated problems may require medical attention.
