Q

How does physical activity affect stroke volume?

A

Stroke volume increases during physical activity as the muscles require more blood.

Q

What happens to the heart with regular training?

A

With regular training, the heart increases in size, thickness, and strength, leading to an increase in stroke volume.

Q

What is the effect of increased stroke volume on heart rate?

A

As stroke volume increases, the heart rate decreases, enabling athletes to perform at a high intensity.

Q

How much blood does the human body hold?

A

Your body holds around 6 litres of blood.

17
Q

How quickly can all the blood pass through the heart?

A

All the blood can pass through the heart in one minute.

18
Q

What happens to breathing during exercise?

A

The depth and rate of your breathing increases.

19
Q

Why do you need more oxygen when exercising?

A

You need to bring in more oxygen and get rid of more carbon dioxide.

20
Q

What is oxygen debt?

A

Oxygen debt occurs when you use up more oxygen than you take in during hard exercise.

21
Q

What is muscle fatigue?

A

Muscle fatigue is when muscles get tired.

22
Q

What is lactate accumulation?

A

Lactate accumulation is when lactic acid gathers in the muscles/blood due to increased work intensity.

23
Q

What is heart rate?

A

Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute.

Also referred to as BMP (beats per minute).

24
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by the heart during each beat.

25
What is cardiac output?
Cardiac output is the amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute. CO = stroke volume (SV) x heart rate (HR).
26
What is oxygen debt?
Oxygen debt is the amount of oxygen needed at the end of physical activity to break down any lactic acid.
