test 3 Flashcards
cardiac output (Q)
amt of blood pumped by heart in liters per min (SV x HR)
stroke volume
quantity of blood ejected with each beat. regulated by end diastolic volume and catecholamines
CVD responses
stroke volume: end diastolic volume is significantly increased. Frank Starling mechanism= increased cardiac emptying
true or false: HR increases lineraly with increases in intensity, max HR +- 10-12 bpm
true
true or false: O2 uptake increases during an acute bout of aerobic exercise
true
maximal oxygen uptake
the greatest amount of oxygen that can be used at the cellular level for the entire body
resting oxygen uptake
estimated at 3.5 ml of O2 per kg of body weight per min; defined as 1 MET
tidal volume
comprises about 350 ml of room air that mixes with aleveolar air, about 15-0 ml of air in larger passages (anatomical dead space)
cardiovascular adaptations
increases in maximal cardiac output, SV, and fiber capillary density, increased parasympathetic tone leads to decreases in resting and submaximal exercise HR. MAX HR = 220-age in years
aerobic endurance training results in:
reduced body fat, inc. max. O2 uptake, inc. running economy, inc. respiratory capacity, lower blood lactace concentrations at submax exercise, inc. mitochondrial and capillary densities, improved enzyme activity, dec. resting cardiac output
altitude changes
changes occur at elevations > 3900 ft. values return to normal after 2 weeks. several adjustments occur during prolonged altitude exposure
maximal aerobic power decreases with age in adults
true?
overtraining: CVD responses
greater volumes of training affect HR
overtraining: biochem responses
high training volume results in inc. levels of creatine kinase, indicating muscle damage, muscle glycogen decreases with prolonged periods of overtraining
markers of aerobic overtraining
dec. performance, dec. percentage of body fat, dec. max O2 uptake, altered BP, inc. muscle soreness, dec. muscle glycogen, altered resting HR, inc. submax exercise HR, dec. lactate, inc. creatine kinase, altered cortisol concentration, dec. ratio of total testosterone:cortisol, dec. ratio of free testosterone: cortisol
detraining
if inactivity rather than proper recovery follows exercise, an athlete loses training adaptations
tapering
the planned reduction of volume in training that occurs before an athletic competition or a planned recovery microcycle
puberty
refers to a period of time in which secondary sex characteristics develop and a child is transformed into a young adult. changes occur in body composition, and performance of physical skills
damage to the growth cartilage may impair the growth and development of the affected bone. risk can be reduced with technique, sensible progression, and instruction by qualified strength and conditioning professionals
T or F: peak strength is usually attained by age 30 in untrained women
false- age 20 in women
T or F: peak strength is usually attained by 20-30 in untrained men
T
body types by the end of adolescence
mesomorphic: muscular and broad shoulders
endomorphic: rounder and broader hips
ectomorphic: slender and tall ( late maturers)
Preadolescent boys and girls can
significantly improve their strength above
and beyond growth and maturation with
resistance training. Neurological factors, as
opposed to hypertrophic factors, are
primarily responsible for these gains
how do we reduce overuse injuries in youth?
evals by sports physician, parent education on risks and benefits of sports, preparatory conditioning, children encouraged to participate in year round physical activity
