Stevens- Exercise Flashcards
how do exercise physiologists estimate “gas exchange”
measure VO2 and production of CO2 through facemask with 2 way valve
____ ml of O2 consumed per kg per minute
3.5
1 MET=
3.5 ml of O2 consumer per kg per min
maximum volume of oxygen that the body can consume during intense, whole-body exercise, while breathing air at sea level
VO2 max
largest VO2 max recorded
97.5 (cyclist) male
best recorded VO2 max for a woman runner
78.6
average female VO2 max age 20-29
35-43 ml/kg/min
average male VO2 max age 20-29
44-51 ml/kg/min
For patients with cardiac disease, a low _______ is the single most powerful predictor of mortality, regardless of the underlying cardiac
diagnosis
VO2 max
VO2 max </= 15 ml/kg/min
cardiomyopathy
PAH w/ incredibly low _____ have high risk of death
VO2 max
PAH VO2 > 10.4 ml/kg/min ____ “risk” of death
low
PAH VO2 < 10.4 ml/kg/min ______ “risk” of death
high
If you can run 4 or 5 laps in 12 minutes, then your VO2 max is on border of _____
30
if you can run 8-9 laps in 12 minutes, VO2 max is around
62-67
in the clinic, used to see cardiorespiratory fitness in ill patients
6 minute walk test
_____ meters on 6 min walk test for VO2 max of 30
1000m
normal subject can walk around ____m in 6 min
600m +
for PAH patients, how many meters in 6 min walk means they are too well to qualify for clinical trials
> 450 m
for PAH patient, how many meters in 6 min means they are too ill to qualify for clinical trials
<150 m
for PAH patient, mortality improves if they can walk > _____ m in 6 minutes
380 m
______ tends to be higher if you are running on flat surfaces and increasing speed than it is if you are increasing incline instead
VO2 max
Fick equation (VO2 max)
VO2= CO (CaO2-CvO2)
under normal conditions, what is the CO
5L per min
CO=
HR X SV
we have about ____ mL of oxygen per dL of blood in the arteries
20
what is the normal CvO2? (how much blood is returned to the heart in the veins)
14.2 mL O2/dL blood
VO2= 5,000 mL/min (20-14.2)
VO2 under resting conditions
O2/Hb curve shifts where during exercise
to the R
CO range that is achieved during exercise
b/t 20-40 L/min
CvO2 during exercise
8.1
what plays a role in VO2 max during exercise
size of person and athletic ability
increase in work = increase in what
CO and VO2
does heart size matter in determining CO
yes
heart size to body weight ratio in humans
0.6%
animal that has the highest heart weight to body weight ratio
endurance animal (dog, husky)
who has the highest heart size to body weight ratio
elite endurance athletes
heart weight to body weight ratio in horses
0.9-1.1%
