21
Q

Slower rise in ________ exercise levels off to a steady-state value.

A

Submaximal

22
Q

True or false

Slower rise during progressive exercise does not level off but continues to rise until exercise ceases.

A

True

23
Q

With sub maximal exercise, VO2 and Ve have a(n) [direct/inverse] and [proportional/in-proportional] relationship.

A

direct; proportional

SO, as VO2 increases, Ve increases at the same rate; relationship is linear

24
Q

As max VO2 is approached, the linear relationship is lost. VO2 increases ______ and Ve increases ______

A

Slightly; large

25
Q

How do untrained vs trained individuals compare to each other in order to produce the same amount of O2 or CO2?

A

Untrained individuals must work harder (they have a higher Ve)

26
Q

What happens when the body is unable to take in enough oxygen?

A

The ETC shuts down so pyruvate builds up and is turned into lactate, which is then converted to H+, resulting in an acidic body pH

27
Q

How does a normal person’s ventilation efficiency ratio (VO2/Ve and VCO2/Ve) compare to a deconditioned ventilation efficiency?

A

The ratio is smaller, indicating less oxygen efficiency

28
Q

A reconditioned patient has to ventilate more air to….

A

consume the same amount of O2 or produce the same amount of CO2 as a conditioned patient

29
Q

The portion of fresh air that reaches the alveoli and participates in gas exchange

A

Alveolar ventilation (Va)

30
Q

The volume of fresh air that does not participate in gas exchange

A

Dead space (Vd)

31
Q

During exercise Vd can double during exercise due to __________, but ________ also increases to maintain Va

A

dilation of the airways; Vt (tidal volume)

32
Q

Vt

A

A

43
Q

The nonlinear increase in blood lactate during exercise or the onset of blood lactate accumulation

A

Lactate threshold

44
Q

The exercise VO2 above which energy production from anaerobic glycolysis accelerates supplementing aerobic energy production

A

Anaerobic threshold; some think lactate accumulation is a sign of this

45
Q

Lactic Acid + HCO3- –>

A

H20 + CO2 +NaLactate

46
Q

Lactic acid is buffered by ________ buffer system yielding an increase in ______ production at the lungs

A

Bicarbonate; CO2

47
Q

Blood pH [increases/decreases] with increased Va

A

Increases; pH controlled partially by respiratory compensation

48
Q

In terms of lactate threshold, what is the difference between untrained individuals and trained individuals?

A

Trained individuals can use O2 more efficiently, so they can saturate the system with O2 to prevent lactate buildup

49
Q

As you move to max work load, ___________ takes precedence of ver taking in O2

A

The need to expire CO2

50
Q

At sub maximal workload (both at the same workload level), both trained and untrained individuals are moving the same VO2, but trained individuals are more efficient in moving O2. How do their Ve’s compare?

A

Untrained individuals have a higher Ve; trained individuals can move less air to consume the same amount of O2
