Module 1: Lecture Notes Flashcards
What percentage of Americans do not engage in the recommended amt of phys activity?
80%
What % of Americans are physically inactive?
43%
What are the benefits of regular activity?
- Improvement in cardio-respiratory function
- Reduction in cardiovascular disease risk factors
- Decrease in morbidity (disease) and mortality (death)
- Decreased anxiety and depression; improved cognitive health
- Dose-response for health/fitness benefits
What percentage of Americans have high blood pressure/hypertension?
33%
What did people die of in 1900s? What do people die fo today?
infectious diseases
cardiovascular disease
What is health?
A state of complete physical, mental, social well-being; not merely the absence of disease
How can one be healthy via exercise?
30 minutes of moderate intensity activity on most, if not all, days of the week (expend about 150kcal)
What is the recommended exercise level?
3 to 5x/week of moderate (300 mins) to vigorous (150 mins) aerobic exercise; Strength, stretch > 2x/week
Who benefits the most from exercise?
Those who are inactive
Can you be healthy but not physically fit? Can you be physically fit but not healthy?
Yes
Yes
What are the health related components of physical fitness?
− Cardio-Reparatory Endurance
− Body Composition
− Muscular Strength and Muscular Endurance
− Flexibility and Balance
Is exercise always safe?
There is an increased risk of sudden cardiac death during vigorous exercise
- But, this risk is much lower among those who are regularly active
- Overall risk is low when weighed against benefits of exercise
Risk of cardiac events during exercise testing in mixed subject population
- 6 per 10,000 maximal tests due to MI (heart attack), dysrhythmia, or death
For submaximal testing, the risk is extremely low
What are the two values of exercise testing?
Functional and Diagnostic
What is are functional values of exercise testing?
- Assess CR endurance; other attributes of fitness
- Basis for exercise prescription
- Monitor progress
- Useful for education and motivation
What is are diagnostic values of exercise testing?
- Along w/ other data (med hx, phys exam, lab tests, signs/symptoms during exercise test)
- Limited value in apparently healthy populations - can get false positives (some evidence of cardiovascular changes that do not mean much)
What is Cardio-Respiratory Endurance (CR-E)?
the ability of the body to perform prolonged large muscle dynamic exercise at moderate to high levels of intensity
In cardiorespiratory endurance, what is -take in- -deliver- and -use-?
take in: lungs
deliver: heart
use: muscle cells
What is VO2 max?
maximum oxygen consumption
What are the 3 metabolic processes during exercise?
immediate, non-oxidative, and oxidative
Which 2 metabolic processes do not use oxygen?
immediate stores and anaerobic or non oxidative metabolism
What is the immediate stores?
ATP and CP, ATP lasts 3-5 seconds, and CP contributes it phosphate which can last up to 10-12 seconds
What is anaerobic or nonoxidative metablism?
glucose –> pyr acid –> LA –> 2ATP
lasts 2 minutes
What is aerobic or oxidative metabolism?
intensity low-moderate, rate of ATP production slow but prolonged
What happens to marathon runners when they “hit the wall”?
They ran out of glucose, NOT fat
What is pulmonary ventilation?
intake of air through lungs to pulmonary capillaries into the heart
What is fR?
frequency of respiration, breaths per minutes
What is VT?
Tidal volume
What is VE?
Pulmonary or minute ventilation
What is the equation for fR, VT, and VE?
fR (breaths/min) x VT (L/breath) = VE (L/min)
What is HR, SV, and CO?
HR = heart rate SV = stroke volume CO = cardiac output
What is Q?
amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
What is the relationship of HR, SV, and Q?
HR * SV = Q
Average HR vs Fit HR graph
Fit HR resting is lower, but max HR is the same
Graph of SV over WL VO2
Fit people achieve a higher SV than unfit people
Graph of Q over WL VO2
Fit person has a higher CO or Q
