Q

Peripheral distraction depends on

A

perfusion pressure and how much blood is perfusing (getting to) the tissue

46
Q

What will impact venous side of things

A

How much oxygen the muscle is taking up

Could increase it if we had more mitochondria - we could extract more - more capillaries too

47
Q

What will alter muscle blood flow

A
  1. Sympathetic Nervous System
  2. Mechanical - Muscle Pump
  3. Autoregulation (intrinsic or local)
48
Q

Sympathetic nerve activity ___ with exercise

A

increases
We are resetting the baroreflex setpoint and so we will need to increase SNA to maintain the higher set point
central command will help reset and so will exercise pressor reflex (metabo and mechanoreflex)

49
Q

what will inc in SNA do to blood flow

A

decrease flow

because sympathetic response on muscle is constriction

50
Q

What impact will muscle pump have on flow

A

muscle pump will increase flow due to change in transmural pressure within the muscle

51
Q

What impact will autoregulation have on flow

A

depends

  1. Metabolic = increase flow with metabolites
  2. Myogenic = decrease flow because Pt inc as you start to exercise - you stretch that muscle, channels open, allow more Ca to come in and muscle contracts
  3. Endothelium - NO = VD so inc flow
52
Q

If SNA increases during exercise, how does blood flow increase to muscle

A

Functional sympatholysis
There are constrictor and dilator elements but in the end the result is increased flow to muscle
Metabolites and muscle pump override it
No lysis of sympathetic activity - it is increasing a ton

53
Q

Blood Pressure during exercise - Systolic

A

Increases

Dependent on CO and CO is increasing

54
Q

Blood Pressure during exercise - Diastolic

A

Not much of a change

Dependent on TPR - if anything it is decreasing

55
Q

Mean BP during exercise

A

slight increase

56
Q

Dynamic exercise overall what happens with BP

A

Systolic Inc in proportion to Q
DBP dec due to TPR
MAP inc modestly

57
Q

Static exercise overall what happens with BP - static contractions

A

Muscle tension –> Resistance –> more resistance so DBP would go up
Max BP can exceed 450/350 mmHg

58
Q

Dynamic vs. Static Exercie - Which facilitates and which impedes blood flow

A

Dynamic facilitates flow and static impedes it when intensities are at 15-20% of maximum

59
Q

What happens to intramuscular pressure and blood flow during isometric exercise

A

Increase in intramuscular pressure

Decrease in blood flow

60
Q

How do you get more blood flow to muscle if it is contracting? TO prevent ischemia

A

Raise perfusion pressure

Greater the force, the faster rise in BP

61
Q

What happens to SV during resistance exercise training

A

Decreases
because there is less blood returning to the heart because of increased resistance at muscle - decreased filling and increased CO

62
Q

Why does HR increase even if you keep same intensity of exercise?

A

We need to consume a certain amount of oxygen - VO2 - to maintain a certain VO2 we need a certain CO to sustain that work - if thats the case, SV is decreased (because of sweating) so to prevent it from decreasing CO we have to inc HR

63
Q

How do you prevent cardiovascular drift?

A

Fluid intake

64
Q

Respiratory response with exercise

A

Inc ventilation with exercise (non linear)

65
Q

What happens with alveolar? PAO2

A

Bends upward because you are blowing off more CO2 and are hyperventilating, getting more O2 into the alveolus

66
Q

What happens with arterial? PaO2

A

Bends down slightly

67
Q

What happens to the venous side? Partial pressure of CO2

A

will steadily go up with exercise

68
Q

What happens to venous oxygen?

A

goes down because there is more unloading at the tissue - there is less in the veins

69
Q

Equation for ventilatory control during exercise

A

VE = Tidal volume * fB

Volume of air you are breathing in and frequency of breaths

70
Q

After the ventilatory threshold what is VE driven by

A

frequency of breaths

71
Q

What increases after ventilatory threshold?

A

Ventilatory equivalent
Rate of glycolysis
Lactate buffering by bicarbonate
VE

72
Q

Ventilatory Control - Onset

A

Central Command

Mechanoreceptors

73
Q

Ventilatory Control - Exercise

A

Central chemoreceptors

Inc Body Temp

74
Q

Main hormone response with exercise and the exception

A

will increase

Insulin declines during exercise

75
Q

Insulin is secreted from

A

pancreatic beta cells when glucose levels are elevated (hyperglycemia)

76
Q

What does insulin do once secreted

A

Will increase glucose uptake into cells
Increase glycogen synthesis
Inhibits glucose formation
Inhibited by catecholamines

77
Q

Glucagon is secreted by

A

pancreatic alpha cells when glucose is low (hypoglycemia)

78
Q

Glucagon - what will it do?

A

Increase liver glycogenolysis
Inc liver gluconeogenesis
Hepatic glucose production
Stimulated by catecholamines

79
Q

Catecholamines during exercise

A

Increase
They bind to beta adrenergic receptors on alpha cells in the pancreas to stimulate glucagon and get more glucose in bloodstream
and at the same time catecholamines bind to alpha receptors on the beta cell to decrease insulin

80
Q

Net effect of catecholamines

A

to mobilize energy so it can be used

Stimulate glucagon and inhibit insulin

81
Q

Is glucose uptake inhibited during exercise

A

No
Skeletal muscle uptake increase as exercise intensity goes up
Mechanism = contracting muscle

82
Q

How does contraction increase glucose uptake during exercise?

A

Contraction of muscle causes translocation of GLUT4 channels to sarcolemma
Insulin independent - ONLY contracting muscle

83
Q

Why is it important to maintain blood glucose during exercise?

A

Brain needs it for fuel

84
Q

With short, high intensity exercise - what happens to glucose

A

A slight increase because of the effects of glucagon - liver is kicking out glucose

85
Q

So is it necessary to decrease insulin during exercise?

A

to prevent the drain from getting so large

SNA will inhibit insulin to stop the drain from widening so much

86
Q

With long, low intensity exercise, what happens to glucose?

A

It is maintained by an increase in heptic glucose production

87
Q

When do we see decline in blood glucose>

A

After 90 minutes of exercise

88
Q

When would be best time to take one of those energy things if you need the energy instantly

A

Immediately before you race - would be good because your SNA is already going since youre nervous about the race so your drain is already being prevented from widening too much

89
Q

Goals of CHO metabolism during exercise

A
  1. Provide fuel for exercise while maintaining blood glucose
  2. To retain or spare muscle glycogen for as long as possible
90
Q

How does CHO metabolism provide fuel while maintaining blood glucose

A

Balance btw muscle uptake and liver release
liver = increase hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis)
muscle = increase glycogenolysis and glycolysis

91
Q

How does liver to gluconeogenesis

A

Can use lactate to make glucose
Cori Cycle
Can also use alanine

92
Q

The three Cs of CHO metabolism and sometimes 4

A
  1. Catecholamines
  2. Contraction
  3. Calcium
  4. Cortisol (minor player)
93
Q

Catecholamines and CHO metabolis,

A

Increase glucagon (hepatic glucose prodution)
Decrese insulin
Increase glycogenolysis
Inc lipolysis

94
Q

Contraction and CHO metabolism

A

GLUT 4 translocation increases glucose uptake

95
Q

Calcium and CHO metabolism

A

Can stimulate glycogen phosphorylase to support the breakdown of glycogen

96
Q

Cortisol and CHO metabolism

A

increases protein catabolism to support gluconeogenesis

Increase lipolysis during prolonged exercise (GH does the same)

97
Q

What stimulate glycogen synthesis

A

High blood glucose
Does so by glucose 6 phosphate
(liver can create it from lactate)

98
Q

Glycogen in muscle

A

Glycogen synthesis occurs primarily from blood glucose

99
Q

Ability to use fat storage

A

depends on CHO

you are prevented from using fat storage due to lack of oxygen and OAA which is supported by CHO metabolism

100
Q

As exercise intensity is low…you are using

A

fat

101
Q

As exercise intensity becomes more intense

A

fat oxidation goes to nearly nothing and CHO becomes exclusive source
RER = 1

102
Q

Where does fuel source come from?
25% of VO2 max
As you increase intensity?

A

mainly from fat = 25%

Less on fat and more on glycogen muscle stores

103
Q

Low intesity exercise at 50% VO2 max

High intensity exercise at 75% VO2 max

A

50% of kcal from fat oxidation
33% of kcal from fat oxidation
BUT still getting 110 kcal for 30 min fat (amount of calories burned coming from fat)

104
Q

Fat oxidation rate is highest at what percent of VO2 max

A

50-60% moderate intensity

Advantage of this too is that they can go for longer period of time

105
Q

Exercise duration

A

As duration goes on (at same pace) you are relying more on fat metabolism than on carbs

106
Q

Exercise duration and fuel source

A

you rely more on what you have in blood as duration goes on

107
Q

Fat CANNOT be exclusively burned during exercise nor during rest

A

We need OAA to continue to turn kreb cycle

108
Q

When can ketones be used as fuel

A

if we have a lot of acetyl co A that cant bind to OAA

109
Q

WHy can ketones be good?

A

Can be used by brain
Can be used as fuel source
DOnt need ATP tp synthesize it

110
Q

Why ketones can be bad

A

Ketoacidosis
Secreted by kidney and kidney doesnt like to do that - can lead to renal failure
Changes in BMR (decrease it) and can inhibit lipolysis
