Soc 19- The Short Term Effects Of Exercise And Graphs Flashcards
Muscle fatigue
when muscles get tired.
Lactate accumulation:
when lactic acid gather in the muscles/ blood due to increased work intensity.
Heart rate:
a number of times the heart beats per minute.
BPM: .
beats per minute
Stroke volume:
the amount of blood pumped by the heart during each beat.
Cardiac output:
the amount of blood ejected from your heart in one minute. CO = stroke volume (SV) x heart rate (HR)
Oxygen debt:
The amount of oxygen needed at the end of physical activity to break down any lactic acid.
What are the Effects on the muscles:
muscle fatigue, lactic accumulation & cramp.
What are the Effects on the muscles:
muscle fatigue, lactic accumulation & cramp.
What are the Effects on the heart: .
increased HR, stroke volume and cardiac output
What are the Effects on the respiratory system:
increased need for oxygen/ removal of CO2.
Increased rate and depth of breathing
What benefits do athletes have that are fitter
Athletes who are ‘fitter’ will have a lower RHR and quicker recovery rate.
What happens when you exercise hard
When you exercise hard, you use up more oxygen than you take in. This
shortfall creates oxygen debt
