Quiz 5-7 (2) Flashcards
During incremental exercise to exhaustion, aterial-venous O2…
Increases steadily
The arterial-venous O2 is used to…
Determine oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in a tissue
VO2 max is determined using…
The Fick equation (cardiac output x a-vO2diff)
With endurance training, total RBC volume…
And myoglobin…
Increases
Increases by about 75%
During small muscle mass exercise, what limits performance?
Local perfusion of muscle- limits O2 delivery
The oxygen carrying capacity of an endurance athlete is:
Relatively lower per unit volume (ml) of blood compared to trained individual
Increased stroke volume occurs during exercise through…
Increased left ventricular contractility
Increased venous return
What adaptation at the muscle level occurs to the vasculature with endurance exercise?
Increased capillary density due to increases in capillary tortuosity and branching
Main mechanisms that account for increased whole body VO2max:
Increased cardiac output and capillary density
