Lung air pressure decreases below atmospheric air 5. Air rushes into lungs Expiration: 1. Diaphragm relaxes (External intercostals passively relax) 2. Diaphragm pushes upwards - Ribs/Sternum move down and in 3. Thoracic cavity volume decreases 4. Lung air pressure increases above atmospheric air 5. Air is exhaled
28
Mechanics of breathing during exercises
Inspiration: 1. Diaphragm lowers and contracts FASTER (External intercostals contract) 2. Diaphragm flattens WITH MORE FORCE- Ribs/Sternum up and out 3. Thoracic cavity volume increases MORE 4. Lung air pressure decreases FASTER below atmospheric air 5. MORE Air rushes into lungs Expiration: 1. Diaphragm relaxes (External intercostals passively relax) 2. Diaphragm pushes upwards FASTER - Ribs/Sternum move in and down 3. Thoracic cavity volume decreases FASTER 4. Lung air pressure increases FASTER above atmospheric air 5. MORE Air is exhaled, INCREASED breathing rate
29
Venous returns mechanicsms
Gravity: Blood from above heart is aided by gravity to return back to heart Muscle Pump: (Only during exercise) veins are situated between muscles, muscles contract and relax to help to squeeze blood towards heart Respiratory Pump: (Only during exercise) you breath faster and deeper during exercise, abdomen pressure helps to push blood back to heart Smooth muscle: Layers of smooth muscle in veins helps to push blood towards heart Pocket valves: One way valves to prevent back flow
30
Resistance
What can be used as resistance? - Free weights - Body weight - Bands etc. Resistance: Based on % of performers one rep max Repetitions: Time exercise is repeated/lifted Sets: Series of repetitions and rest periods Work to rest ratios: Volume of relief to work
31
Factors affecting VO2 max

32
Plyometrics
- Series of explosive movements at speed - Muscles generate greater force of contraction (Creates concentric contraction after an eccentric one) - Eccentric contractions stores elastic energy to create more powerful concentric contraction - Stretch reflex is initiated and more motor units are recruited - prevent working muscles being overstretched
33

Types of strengths
Maximal: Maximal amount of force in one muscular contraction Explosive: Maximal amount of force in one or a series of rapid muscular contractions Endurance: Sustain repeated muscular contractions over a period of time, withstanding fatigue Dynamic: Force applied against a resistance and the muscles change length Static: Force applied against resistance without movement occurring
40
Factors that affect strength
Cross-sectional area: The greater the cross-sectional area of the muscle, the greater the strength there is a 16-30N of force per square cm of muscle Fibre Type: Greater % of FG and FOG, the greater the strength over a short period of time. Fast twitch fibres=large motor neurones=more force in one contraction Gender: Males have more testosterone, which makes them stronger than females. When strength is expressed per unit of cross-sectional area, this difference in gender disappears Age: Peak strength males 18-30 females, 16-25 due to a decrease in efficiency of euro-muscular system, testosterone and elasticity which leads to a reduction in muscle mass
41
Aerobic capacity
Ability to respire, transport and utilise O2 to perform sustained periods of activity
42
VO2 Max
- Maximum volume of O2 inspired, transported and utilised per minute during 'exhaustive' exercise. - Higher % of inspiration before fatigue = higher VO2

61
Unbalanced force
Net force is present, body will accelerate/decelerate or change direction
62
Effects of heat on cardiovascular system
- Reduces O2 transport through the haemoglobin to the working muscles - Increased HR to compensate - Increased blood flow may lead to blood pooling - Increased strain on the system - Decrease in blood volume
63

65
Thermoreceptors

66
Cardiovascular drift
Upwards drift in HR during sustained steady state activity associated with an increase in body temperature. Because muscular contractions leads to more heat, this is directed to the skin
67

74
Arterioles
Contribute to maintaining arterial pressure. They connect blood vessels (capillaries)
75
Venule
Smallest veins, receive blood from the capillaries
76
Linking conduction and cardiac system
1. Diastole occurs 2. The SA node initiates an impulse which travels across the atria causing them to contract an blood is forced actively into the ventricles, this is called atrial systole 3. The AV node then delays the impulse allowing the atria to fully contract and finish emptying 4. The impulse is then sent along the bundle of HIS and the purkinje fibres (around the ventricles) 5. This caused ventricles to contract (ventricular systole) and forces blood out the heart via the arteries 6. Diastole occurs again (it repeats)
77
Sympathetic/Parasympathetic
Sympathetic: Stimulates HR to increase Parasympathetic: Returns HR to resting values
78
CCC intrinsic factors
Body temperature: - Exercise increases body temp - Which increases nerve transmission - Reduces blood viscosity - Increases HR Venous return: - Increases during exercise - Cardiac muscle stretch is increased - Force of ventricular contraction is larger - Stroke volume increases
79
CCC Neural control
Proprioceptors: In the muscles, detect motor movements during exercise Chemoreceptors: Detect increase in CO2 and lactic acid and decrease in O2 (changes in the bloodstream) Baroreceptors: Located in the aorta, detect an increase in blood pressure 1. Send impulses to the CCC 2. Via sympathetic nervous system 3. Via the accelerator nerve 4. This increases stimulation of SA node 5. Which increase HR
80
CCC Hormonal factor
Adrenaline and Non-adrenaline: Both released from the adrenal glands - Increases force of ventricular contraction and - Increases spread of electrical impulses through heart - Hormonal control signals go straight to the SA node
81

84
How a motor unit works
1. Brain detects stimulus 2. Nerve impulse is conducted down axon of motor neurone (by nerve action potential) to synaptic clef 3. Neurotransmitter is secreted in to conduct nerve impulse across gap 4. If electrical charge is above threshold, muscle fibre will contract 5. Happens in 'all or nothing' fashion - muscles will only contract if stimulus is above threshold
85
