PE Boost (Exam) Flashcards
HR responses to exercise
- increases
- resting rate: 60-80 BPM
- exercise rate:
moderate: 120-150 BPM
intense: 180-200 BPM - HR increases to meet energy demands of exercise and deliver more O2 to working muscles. Allowing us to work at a higher aerobic intensity.
Steady state – what is it?
- light to moderate intensity cardio session lasting between 30 and 120 minutes where your heart rate stays level.
aVO2 diff
- increases
- resting rate: low
- exercise rate: high
- the difference between oxygen saturation within the arteries opposed to the veins. Directly related to muscular O2 demand.
gaseous exchange at the tissue and lungs
Pulmonary Diffusion - occurs between the lungs and the heart through alveoli (site where gas is exchanged)
vasoconstriction & vasodilation
-vasoconstriction: the narrowing of blood vessels by small muscles in their walls, blood flow is slowed or blocked.
-vasodilation: blood vessels in your body widen, allowing more blood to flow through them.
stroke volume
-increase
-resting rate: 60-80 BPM
- exercise rate:
moderate: 120-150 ml/beat
intense: 150/180 ml/beat
- amount of blood injected out of the heart per beat, it will reach max at around 40% max HR (due to the heart only being so big)
cardiac output
- increases
- resting rate: 5-6 L/min
-exercise rate:
moderate: 12-15 L/min
intense: 20-30 L/min - an increase leads to more O2 rich blood being distributed to working muscles per minute. Allowing us to work at a higher aerobic intensity.
HR X SV = Q
Rate(BPM) x volume(ml/beat) = total cardiac output(L/min)
Tidal volume
- increase
- resting rate: 500 ml/beat
- exercise rate:
moderate: 2.5 L/breath
intense: 3.0 L/breath - TV increases to allow greater volume of O2 being taken in per breath. Allowing us to work at a higher aerobic intensity.
Respiratory system
- Nasal cavity, Larynx / Pharynx, Trachea, Bronchi
- Breathing in: Low pressure within the chest cavity and a higher pressure in the outside air, Therefore the air moves into the lungs
- Breathing out: High pressure within the chest cavity and a lower pressure in the outside air, Therefore the air moves out of the lungs
VO2 max
- refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilise during intense or maximal exercise.
BR X TV = V
Breath Rate(BPM) x Tidal Volume(ml/breath) = Ventilation(L/min)
EPOC
- Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
- result of an elevation in oxygen consumption and metabolism, which occurs after exercise as the body recovers, repairs, and returns to its pre-exercise state.
Oxygen Deficit
- oxygen shortage in the bodies tissues arising from exercise
Types of muscle contraction
- concentric: the muscle length decreases
- eccentric: the muscle length increases
- isometric: the muscle length remains unchanged (gripping)
- isoinertial: load or resistance against the muscle is constant throughout the motion.
- isokinetic: the resistance changes according to joint angle
