Respiratory system and exercise 2 Flashcards
importance of VT/LT
workloads at which they occur are highly related to endurance training and performance
AT is correlated with
performance endurance events like 10km/marathon
thresholds can be used for 2
purpose of exercise prescription/training intensity
1 - mod
2 - heavy but sustainable
prediction of performance
incremental aerobic exercise to VO2max effect on external respiration (2)
gas change is generally not a limiting factor in maximal exercise - increased pAO2 with increased f exercise induced arterial hypoxemia - some ind experience significant decrease in PaO2 and SaO2 mild 93-95% SaO2 mod - 88-93 severe - less than 88% - limits capacity increased A-aPO2
4 possible mechanisms for EIAH
transition time too fast (ventilation-perfusion mismatch)
capillary damage during shear stress for high hematocrit and increased Q
quality of air - cold/dry/polluted
potentially intrapulmonary anatomical blood vessel shunts that bypass alveoli during intense exercise
transition time in pulmonary capillaries
rest =0.75 seconds
complete gas exchange = 0.3-0.35 seconds
max exercise transit time = 0.3-0.4 seconds
- seems that there is enough time for O2 and CO2 exchange at all levels of exercise , but this might not always be true
transport time between pulmonary and muscle capillaries
similar
exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage
experienced by some thoroughbred horses - high BP due to high Q causing rupture of pulmonary capillaries - resulting in blood leaking into alveoli
brochoalveolar lavage after exercise in cyclists
4km uphill sprint - increase level of RBC
77% submax - no detection of RBC
conclusion - brief intense exercise compromises integrity of blood gas
athletes have tasted blood or had iron taste their mouth after intense exercise
run until you taste blood - smell of iron from the alveoli triggering the smell/taste receptors - not conclusive
incremental aerobic exercise to VO2max on internal respiration (2) PO2 PvO2 aVO2 PCO2 PvCO2 oxygen to mucls alveolar o2 PaO2 PaCO2 SvO2
PO2 in active muslce falls toward 0 - pvo2 decreases
- avo2 increases
PCO2 approaches 90 - pvCO2 increases
amt of O2 released to muscles increased by 3 times of resting level
increase in alveolar o2 - decrease ventilation because you increase frequency but decrease tidal volume
PaO2 increases slightly
PaCO2 decreases
svO2 decreases
recovery of VE (4)
VE remains elevated after exercise and decreases in relation to the fast and slow phases of EPOC
fast - rapid decrease - 2-3 mins
slow - slow decrease - 3-60 min
getting rid of heat and getting in o2
exercise response to static exercise (2)
a-vo2 diff i limited due to occluded blood flow - limited perfusion to tissues - cant get rid of metabolic byproducts
or use it as signals, some proprioceptors for stimulation
upon cessation there is a rebound in VE and a-VO2 diff (metabolic byproducts stimulated)
entainment (4)
synchronization of limb movement and breathing frequency that accompanies the rhythmical exercise
- naturally in some athletes
- forces in sports like swimming
- elicit a slightly improved ventilatory efficiency which can reduce fatigue
should you consciously control breathing during exercise
challenging to train and not much improvement
