Q

Information Processing Model: Response Identification

A
  • Stimulus Detection is influenced by ability of sense organs, strength of cue, length of cue, noise, level of arousal, and experience.
  • Decision-Making Mechanism: After all data is interpreted, the performer makes a decision on what to do. This response is affected by past experiences, knowledge, and skill level. A skilful player has more responses to select from and decision-making process takes longer as the number of responses increases.
  • Response Selection: CNS prepares to produce a selected response as a result of decision making. Messages are sent via the neuromuscular system to muscles and nerves to create movement.

Q

Information Processing Model: Response/Output

A
  • Involves neuromuscular system producing movements required to produce the selected response. This response is chosen by the performer and the muscles are prepared for coming task.
  • Complexity of task determines amount of time required for response programming; simple tasks have fast response programming and complex skills have more information to process thus making muscle response slower.
  • This is the production of the action by the selected decision-making process and is the movement time component in total response time.

A
  • Number of beats per min
  • Provides more rapid supply of fuel and energy to the muscles, heart rate increases at exercise.
  • This increase is directly proportional to workload
  • At rest, fit person 50-60 bpm. At exercise, max HR = 220 - age.
57
Q

A
  • Increased amount of blood ejected from left ventricle with each beat of heart.
  • At rest, fit male approx. 80ml/beat. At exercise, can reach 150ml/beat.
  • At rest fit female approx. 60ml/beat. At exercise, can reach 110ml/beat.
58
Q

Increased Venous Return (Immediate Cardiovascular)

A
  • As the heart can only eject as much blood as it has in its ventricles, it’s important that for an increase in cardiac output to be accompanied by an increase in venous return.
  • Muscle pump, Respiratory pump, Venoconstriction.
59
Q

Increased BP (Immediate Cardiovascular)

A

Increases in response to exercise:

1) Systolic: Greater increase with high intensity and resistance exercise.
2) Diastolic: No change at submaximal intensities.

60
Q

Blood Redistribution (Immediate Cardiovascular)

A
  • During exercise, arteries open and contract to allow more or less blood to reach certain areas.
  • Arteries allow taking blood to muscles dilate to allow more blood flow whilst arteries taking blood to non-active areas constrict. Thus increasing the amount of blood available.
  • Acts as a temperature regulator, taking heat from the body to skin’s surface, where evaporation of sweat assists in cooling body.
61
Q

Increased a-vO2 difference (Immediate Cardiovascular)

A
  • Comparison of oxygen in arteries compared with veins shows measure of muscle oxygen use.
  • As more oxygen is extracted by the muscles during exercise, the avo2 difference increases - more oxygen is in the arterioles delivering the blood.
62
Q

Increased Respiratory Rate (Immediate Respiratory)

A
  • Increased need for oxygen and removal of CO2 during exercise results in increased RR.
63
Q

Increased Tidal Volume (Immediate Respiratory)

A
  • Tidal volume refers to amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal respiration.
  • Increased need for O2 and the removal of CO2 during exercise results in an increased tidal volume.
  • At rest, TV is approx. 500-600ml.
  • At exercise, becomes 3-4L/min
  • Inspiratory capacity: The amount of air we can breathe in. Expiratory reserve volume: The amount of air we can breathe out. Residual volume: The amount of air that remains within the body after breathing out maximally. Vital Capacity: Amount of air we can breathe in and breathe out maximally. Total Lung Capacity: The total amount of air that can fill our lungs
64
Q

Increased Ventilation (Immediate Respiratory)

A
  • Amount of air inspired and expired in a minute
  • Ventilation increases prior to the beginning of exercise and continues to rise to meet the oxygen demands of the exercise.
65
Q

Increased Gas Exchange (Immediate Respiratory)

A
  • During exercise an increase in the need for oxygen and removal of CO2 sees an increase in diffusion take place. An athlete uses more of the available oxygen when at work compared to at rest.
66
Q

Increased O2 Uptake (Immediate Respiratory)

A
  • Oxygen uptake increases dramatically during first few minutes of exercise as the anaerobic energy system is the dominant energy provider.
  • Once steady state is reached oxygen demand is met by oxygen supply.
    1) At this point an increase in exercise intensity is met by an increase in oxygen consumption.
    2) When an increase in exercise intensity no longer leads to an increase in oxygen consumption, the athlete has reached a point known as the vO2 Max.
  • As a result, athletes are forced to rely on their anaerobic energy system to supply energy to the working muscles.
  • At the completion of exercise, oxygen consumption remains high
67
Q

Increased Myocardial Contractility (Heart, Aerobic training)

A

□ Heart is a muscle and responds to training by getting bigger + stronger.
□ Increase in heart size enables left ventricle to stretch more & fill with more blood.
Thus increases contractility, resulting in increased SV (stroke volume) and increased blood supply.

68
Q

Increased size of left ventricle (Heart, Aerobic Training)

A

□ Aerobic training results in hypertrophy of heart characterised by:

				- Increase in size of left ventricular cavity - Thickening of ventricle walls.
69
Q

Increased Stroke Volume (Heart, Aerobic Training)

A

□ Stroke volume increases due to:

				1) Increases contractility of myocardium - heart can beat harder and eject more blood.
				2) Increased left ventricle cavity allows more blood and greater volume ejected. 3) Reduced heart rate allows longer rest periods between beats and more opportunity for blood to enter LV.
70
Q

Decreased HR during submaximal exercise and rest (Heart, Aerobic Training)

A

□ Heart doesn’t need to work as hard to provide O2 and nutrients to muscles.
□ Decreased steady state in heart rate.
1) Increase efficiency of the CV system means that at submaximal intensities, trained athletes will reach lower HR.

71
Q

Increased Cardiac Output during maximal exercise (Heart, Aerobic Training)

A

□ Increase in max cardiac output due to increase in SV.
□ Cardiac Output increases at max workloads, which increase the delivery of oxygen & the removal of by-products & allows greater aerobic glycolysis.
□ Rest:
® Untrained: 5000mL = 70 bpm * 71 mL
® Trained: 5000mL = 50 bpm * 100 mL

□ Max Exercise:
® Untrained: 20,000mL = 200 bpm * 100mL
Trained: 30,000mL = 200bpm * 150 mL

72
Q

Increased Blood Volume (Blood, Aerobic Training)

A
  • Highly trained endurance athletes have blood volume 20 - 25% greater than an untrained subject.
  • Plasma volume increases:
    □ Assist in increasing SV
    □ Assist in regulation of body temp.
    Trained individuals are able to dissipate heat more efficiently than untrained individuals.
73
Q

Everything else

A

○ Increased Haemoglobin Volume:
§ The total amount of haemoglobin in the blood increases with aerobic training.
§ Haemoglobin is important for O2 transport from the lungs to muscles.
§ Increase in blood volume are correlated to greater amounts of haemoglobin, but the haemoglobin concentration doesn’t increase.
○ BLOOD VESSELS:
○ Increased capillarisation around heart & skeletal muscle
§ Increased capillarisation allows for improved blood flow to heart delivering more O2 to myocardium.
§ With aerobic training myocardium O2 consumption decreased due to a decrease in HR & increase in SV.
○ Decreased Blood Pressure:
§ Trained individuals have lower BP, particularly systolic BP, due to capillarisation of heart & muscles and enhanced elasticity of arteries.

	○ Aerobic Training - Respiratory Adaptations
	○ Structural Adaptations
		§ Increased Total Lung Volume & Vital Capacity:
			□ An increased lung capacity allows more oxygen to be inspired & transported to muscles.
				® Total Lung Volume - Amount  of air in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration.
				® Vital Capacity - Volume of air that can be forcefully expired after maximal inspiration.
		§ Increased Tidal Volume
			□ An increase in volume of air inspired & expired with each breath results in the respiratory system reducing the number of breaths per minute RR. Occurs due to more efficient cardiorespiratory & muscular systems.
		§ Increased Diffusion:

	○ Functional Adaptations: 
		§ Ventilation:
			□ More efficient gas exchange results in reduced ventilation at rest and submaximal exercise. 
			□ During max exercise, the ventilation of an athlete increases compared to untrained individual.
				® Results in increased ability to transport greater amounts of oxygen to muscles.
		§ Increased Ventilatory Efficiency:
			□ With aerobic training ventilatory efficiency occurs. Means that intercostal muscles and diaphragm don't need as much O2, making more O2 available.
		§ Maximum Oxygen Consumption:
			□ With aerobic training:
				® VO2 remains the same or slightly lower at rest & during submaximal exercise.
				® VO2 max increases.
	○ Aerobic Training - Muscular Adaptations
		§ Increased fibre size
			□ Slow twitch fibres will increase in size as a result of aerobic training. Increase in the size of the slow-twitch fibres is closely associated with increased capillary density around fibres.
		§ Increased Capillarisation
			□ Aerobic training increases the number of capillaries around the cell at the site of the muscle. 
			□ Allows for more oxygen to be transported to the working muscles and a greater surface area for diffusion to occur.
		§ Increased size & number of mitochondria
			□ Mitochondria are the sites of ATP resynthesis, & are where glycogen & triglycerides stores are oxidised. 
			□ The greater the number and size of mitochondria located within the muscle, the greater the oxidisation of fuels to produce ATP aerobically.
		§ Increased myoglobin stores
			□ Aerobic training significantly increases the myoglobin content in slow twitch muscle fibres & therefore its ability to extract O2 and deliver it to mitochondria for energy production.
		§ Increased Glycogen Storage
			□ Muscular hypertrophy causes increases in muscle stores of glycogen.
		§ Increased stores of oxidative enzymes
			□ Aerobic training increases the ability
	○ Anaerobic Training - Muscular Adaptations
		§ Muscle Hypertrophy
			□ Skeletal muscles increase in size.
			□ Resistance training stresses the muscles so that they hypertrophy & increase in strength.
			□ Hypertrophy occurs as a result of: 
				® Increased size & number of myofibrils per muscle fibre.
				® Increased amounts of contractile proteins.
		§ Increases Capacity of the ATP-CP System
			□ Muscular hypertrophy is accompanied by increased muscular stores of ATP & CP, as well as increasing the quantity & activity of enzymes which breakdown & resynthesise ATP.
			□ Having more fuel available and an increase in enzyme quantity and activity which remakes ATP quicker, there is a faster restoration of ATP.
			□ Thus benefitting the athlete in activities that require speed, strength & power.
		§ Increased Capacity of the Anaerobic Glycolysis System
			□ Glycolytic capacity is also increased with anaerobic training, due to:
				® Increases in glycolytic enzymes.
				® Increases in glycogen stores.
			□ Muscular hypertrophy is accompanied by increased muscular stores of glycogen, as well as increasing the quantity & activity of glycolytic enzymes which breakdown & resynthesise ATP.
			□ The amount of ATP that can be derived from the Anaerobic Glycolysis system is therefore increased. This leads directly to an increase in performance in activities that depend on the anaerobic glycolysis for energy, such as a 400m race.
