Treatment of Cardio/Muscle Endurance and Fine Motor Flashcards
Normal Adult Heart Rate
60-100 beats per minute
Bradycardia
HR below 60 beats per min
Tachycardia
HR above 100 beats per min
Maximal Heart Rate
220-age
Stroke volume
Volume of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat
Cardiac Output
CO = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate
Maximum Plateau of stroke volume
The point where diastolic filling time becomes too short to allow adequate filling time
Conditions that decrease Cardiac Output:
- High Blood Pressure (increased resistance to outflow)
- Peripheral artery disease (decreased venous return)
- Weak heart muscle (decreased stroke volume)
Benefits of cardio conditioning:
- Reduced resting heart rate
- increased stroke volume, increased venous return, increased myocardial contraction (heart is stronger can pump out more blood)
Blood Pressure =
CO (cardiac output) x TPR (total peripheral resistance - some of all forces that resist blood flow)
Systolic pressure
Contraction of Ventricles (higher measure)
Diastolic Pressure
Relaxation of the heart
What do you do if someone’s systolic pressure is not increasing during exercise?
Stop the exercise. If you are not increasing systolic pressure you are not increasing delivery of oxygen to muscles (SP is proportional to O2).
Normal to have decreased Blood Pressure after exercise?
Yes
When training to increase cardio endurance you have a: (BENEFITS)
- Increase in total blood volume and therefore in amount of hemoglobin. (If someone has been in ICU for a few weeks they will have a decrease in blood volume because they are not moving and it contributes to the de-conditioning they are experiencing).
- Increase in volume of air/breath
- Increase diffusing capacity - capacity to exchange O2 and CO2
- reduced resting heart rate
- Increased stroke volume, increased venous return, and increased myocardial contraction
- blood flow increased to skeletal muscles
- Decreased pulmonary resistance to air flow (someone with righty in lungs will have decreased ability to expand lungs and increased pulmonary resistance to air flow).
Maximal Aerobic Capacity
- Measure for cardio endurance
- maximal amount of O2 that can be taken and dispensed to muscle during exercises
Fatigue in cardio occurs when:
insufficient O2 is supplied to muscles (fit people can maintain activities longer because their capacity to exchange O2 and CO2 is greater and their cardiac stroke volume is greater)
Three factors that determine the maximal rate at which O2 can be transported and used:
1) External respiration (pulmonary function)
2) Gas transport (cardiovascular system)
3) Internal respiration (cells use of O2 for energy)
