Q

How does the fast oxidative muscle fiber have high oxidative and high glycolytic activity?

A

High oxidative activity requires metabolites from glycolysis, therefore, it needs to do glycolysis thoroughly before running intense oxidative processes

Q

What is the function of creatine phosphate?

A

To keep ATP sources constant by:

Creatine-phosphate → Creatine
ADP → ATP via the process

Q

How is the limit of glycolysis mediated in the body?

A

Body reaches “anaerobe threshold” where it cannot take anymore lactic acid, and switches to aerobic respiration

Q

What is the local response to the muscles during physical exercise?

A

VASODILATION
- Due to sympathetic cholinergic activity
- Due to increased metabolites
- To bring the muscle more blood (nutrients)

Q

What are the changes in systemic circulation that take place during physical exercise?

A

Heart rate (HR) ↑
Cardiac Output (CO) ↑
Stroke Volume (SV) ↑
Flow of pulmonary circulation ↑
Peripheral resistance (TPR) ↓ - Due to Vasodilation
Redistribution of the circulating blood volume

16
Q

Why does the skin blood flow decrease, then increase?

A

Decreases due to vasoconstriction for blood redistribution

Increases later due to vasodilation for heat loss (body gets hot during exercise)

17
Q

How do you calculate the minute volume?

A

MV = Tidal Volume (TV) x Respiratory Rate (RR)

18
Q

What happens to the minute volume and the heart rate during increasing exercise intensity?

A

Exercise Intensity ↑
Minute Volume ↑
Heart Rate ↑

19
Q

What happens to stroke volume during exercise?

A

Initially, SV spikes higher than HR. However, later on, SV plateaus due to the heart compensating:

Filling time ↓
VR ↓
SV ↓ (Frank starling)

20
Q

What are all the cardiovascular parameter changes that occur during exericse?

A

MAP ↑ (↑↑↑CO & TPR ↓ - CO dominant)

SP ↑ (Proportional to SV ↑)
EDV ↑ (Resp. pump - VR ↑)
DP ↓ (Proportional to TPR ↓)
ESV ↓ (SNS +ve Intropic)

21
Q

What is reactive hyperemia and when does it take place?

A

temporary increase in blood flow (vasodilation) to an area following a period of reduced or obstructed blood supply.

This happens due to muscle pump (compression of vessels during muscle flexion)

22
Q

How is heat regulated during exercise?

A
  • Sweating
  • Vasodilation of the skin vessels, bringing blood closer to surface
23
Q

How is ventilation impacted during exercise?

A

Exercise ↑
Ventilation ↑

24
Q

What is endurance?

A

Is the maximal oxygen uptake (liter per minute)

25
Q

How is performance and time correlated?

A
26
Q

What is oxygen debt?

A

Extra oxygen required after exercise to restore the body to its resting state:

  • Replenishing O2 stores (myoglobin)
  • Replenishing creatine-phosphate pool
  • Eliminating lactic acid
27
Q

What happens to heartrate during oxygen debt?

A

HR increases during oxygen debt
HR decreases during repayment of debt
