Test Four Flashcards
how much heat production is increased during shivering
5%
WET relates to
temp as a result of humidity
acclimatization
adaptation over a long time period
heat loss must match
heat gain
what is the equation for body heat gain during exercise
heat produced- heat loss
what are the four principles of training
PROS, progression, overload, specificity and reversiblity
what are the differences in gender for heat tolerance
very small
Dry relates to
ambient temp
how much heat required to raise body temp
.83 kcal/kg
what are the adaptations during heat acclimation
increased plasma volume, earlier onset of sweating and higher sweat rate, reduced sodium chloride loss in sweat, reduced skin blood flow, increased cellular heat shock proteins
acclimation
rapid adaptation to environmental change and tends to be artificial
what are the two forms of involuntary heat production
shivering and action of hormones
during radiation, how much heat is loss at rest
60%
what specificity mean
specific muscles involved, specific energy systems utilized, the way muscles move
what is the most important means of heat loss during exercise with evaporation
heat loss at rest
which system is more genetically determined
anaerobic
can you reach steady state in hot environment
no
what is conduction
heat loss due to contact with another surface
increase in body temp is directly related to
exercise intensity
training can only improve anaerobic how much
to a certain degree based on fast 2x fibers
what are the guidelines for dehydration
hydrate before performance, consume 150 -300 ml fluid every 15 to 20 min, ensure adequate rehydration, monitor urine color
higher humidity makes it harder to
offload heat
normal core temp is
37 degrees celsius
VO2 max increases how much with trained atheletes
3 to 5% but it is still an important difference
what else in body helps increase heat
muscle mass
what is the bodys thermostat
hypothalamus
what is required for evaporation
vapor pressure gradient between skin and air
what does SAID stand for
specific adaptations to imposed demands
what is voluntary heat production
exercise
what is the action of hormones during heat production
thyroxine(metabolism stimulating), catecholamines, “nonshivering” hormones
during hot environment what do you rule out
radiation and convection
heat shock proteins do what
protect cells from thermal injury
one liter of sweat results in how much heat loss in kcal
580
how to calculate mean skin temp
Tskin= (Tforehead+ chest+ forearm+thigh+calf+abdomen+back)/7
how do men and women respond to training systems
similar, exercise prescriptions should be individualized
purpose of warm up
increase cardiac output and blood flow to skeletal muscle, increase muscle temp and enzyme activity
what is the most important means of heat loss during exercise
evaporation
what is the ideal thermal gradient for the body compared to skin
around 4 degrees celsius and the core is warmer than the skin
what are two critical things with convection
velocity and density of medium
can exercise training in cool conditions promote heat acclimation
yes but the magnitude of the adaptation is less than training in hot/humid environment
how does higher net heat loss occur during intense exercise
consistent convective and radiant heat loss, higher evaporative heat loss (increased sweating)
palms and head lose how much heat
60%
three methods to training to improve aerobic power
interval training, long/slow distance, high intensity, continuous exercise
what are superior to water during rehydration
sports drinks
how much are mechanically efficient
20 to 30%
what is a big factor to how an individual responds to training
genetics
high vs low responders
what is a fever
increased body temp above normal
the posterior hypothalamus responds to decreased core temp by
shivering and increased NE release, decreased skin blood flow, either increasing heat production or decreasing heat loss
exercise performance is impaired in a hot environment because
heat related muscle fatigue, accelerated glycogen metabolism, increased free radical production, reduced muscle blood flow, high brain temp reduces neuromuscular dr
what are the four ways of heat loss
radiation, conduction, convection and evaporation
what is another method of heat gain that is also heat loss
radiation
what is convection
heat transferred to air or water, air particles touch you and take the heat away
what does your workout need
provide a significant stimulus that eclipses current abilities (progressive and overloads)
high relative humidity reduces
evaporative heat loss, lowers heat loss which increases body temp
where is the deep body temp measured
rectum, ear or esophagus
what are the mechanisms of heat loss during exercise
evaporation, convection and radiation
function of pyrogens
turn on “cold responses” and they change the set point of hypothalamus
heat produced that is not lost during exercise is stored where
in body tissues which helps raise body temp
core temp is proportional to
active muscle mass
increase sweat rate is due to
inability to lose heat
what does overload mean
increased capacity of a system in response to training above the level to which it is accustomed, ties in with progression
what is the thermal gradient from the body to skin during extreme cold
may be 20 degrees celsius and blood flow greatly reduced to skin
how much heat is lost at rest during evaporation
25%
evaporation rate depends on
temp and relative humidity (environment), convective currents around the body, amount of skin surface expose
what is another temp sensor
ingestible temperature sensor telemetry system
how much dehydration can impair performance
2% of body weight
what stimulate hypothalamus
temp of skin and core getting close together and the gradient is lost between the two
what happens with higher sweat rate
could lose 4-5L/hour and risk of dehydration
training improvements is always greater in individual with
lower initial fitness
GLOBe relates to
temp as a result of solar radiation
what happens if body core temp goes about 45 degrees
destroy proteins and enzymes and lead to death
how is the temp of the body throughout the day
always in flux
what is heat index
measure of body’s perception of how hot it feels
how do heat shock proteins protect cells from thermal injury
stabilizing and refolding damaged proteins
