Responses to Exercise Flashcards
What inputs impact sympathetic nerve activity
Baroreceptors Muscle mechanoreceptors Muscle metaboreceptors Central command Chemoreceptors (inc in H and CO2 in blood --> CR --> SNS --> Inc HR)
SNS output
Inc HR
Inc contractility
Inc VC
Inc EPI
The more intense the exercise we have, the ___ SNS activity we will have
Greater –> more EPI
As work gets harder and harder, what happens to oxygen being used?
Gets higher and higher to a point VO2 max = aerobic capacity When mitochondria (ETC) can't consume oxygen to make ATP anymore
What happens if you are at a higher workload than VO2 max?
You would rely on more anaerobic pathways –> producing more lactate
What determines VO2 or VO2 Max?
Q * aVO2 difference
Q = cardiac output
With exercise, in order for VO2 to increase, we need
- CO to inc (HR and SV too)
2. Muscle to extract more oxygen
When you hit VO2 max what other max will you likely hit?
HR Max
HR inc linearly with exercise intensity (inc %VO2)
Intrinsic HR
100 bpm
What determines if HR goes up or down
Autonomic NS
At rest
PS tone on heart
HR is around 60 bpm
When exercise you withdraw this vagal/ps tone - just standing from your chair
Vagus withdraw occurs
within 1 sec of exercise and sympathetic activation happens on top of it
Sympathetic activation
will get HR above 100 bpm
NE binding to beta adrenergic receptors on SA node
Baroreflex is resetting to establish new setpoint
Higher set point requires
more SNA to maintain that set point
HR _____ VO2
HR mirros relative VO2 (%VO2 max)
Estimated max HR
220-age
208-(.7*age)
Vagal stimulus leads to
immediate drop in HR as compared to symp rise in HR
When you exercise and have vagal withdrawal, the inc in HR is
Very fast and very immediate
SV with upright exercise compared to lying down
SV laying down will be increased - close to max
SV upright exercise
Will increase and then level off
In trained athletes SV upright
the more of an increase you will see, almost linear like HR
In untrained athlete SV
Will increase and then level out
Why does trained keep going and not level out?
They have bigger heart and are more able to inc SV
Why does SV increase
Inc Preload
Dec Afterload
Inc Contractility
- What will increase preload during exercise?
Things that increase venous return
- muscle pump (inc contractility)
- respiratory pump (dec pressure in thoracic cavity improves gradient for venous return - dec RAP)
- redistribution of flow (splanchnic and skin)
- Increased contractility –> to CO
increases CO
During exercise - we inc contractility by increasing SNA - Ca induced Ca release
- Afterload - if you decrease afterload of the heart –> CO
you can increase CO
Decrease TPR during exercise because we are VD muscle and getting more blood to the muscle
Compliant circulations do what to flow
mobilize flow
At rest vs exercise - where is flow going
Exercise - kidney and splanchnic will give up the most and send to heart to send to muscle
Rest - gut and kidney get the most
Pressure =
Q * TPR
SV
EDV - ESV
120-50 = 70 at rest
EF is an index for
how hard the heart is working or its contractility
SV/EDV (55%)
When exercise what is cardiac output
5L/min –> 22Lmin
Maximal HR with exercise?
200 bpm
Someone who is not necessarily trained
Maximally SV
110 mL/beat - filling more and queezing more out
140-30 = 110
you are increasing EDV relative to rest
you are lowering ESV - more contractility - squeezing more out of heart –> lower ESV
EF with exercise
80%
80% of what filled it with is being ejected
avO2 difference =
Arterial concentration of O2 minus Venous concentration of O2
avO2 difference with exercise?
Increases
What is decreasing during exercise?
Venous oxygen content because oxygen is being taken up by the muscle - the more that muscle takes up oxygen, less will be left in venous circulation
Arterial oxygen concentration with exercise
stays the same because lungs are still fully saturating blood with oxygen
During exercise then…
avO2 difference will increase because Arterial concentration stays the same and venous concentration decreases
Arterial oxygen capacity does what with exercise
increases
more of a duration thing
more duration = sweating more = concentrating blood more so see subtle increase in arterial O2 capacity
Arterial oxygen concentration is highly dependent on
lung
saturation
What causes R shift in Hemoglobin curve
Inc in CO2
Dec pH
Inc Temp
Facilitates more unloading of oxygen at the tissue
