  • body size
  • genetics
  • age
121
Q

Gender

A

Females have:
- lower blood volume and hemoglobin
- lower O2 carrying capacity
- Lower lung volume and left ventricle decreasing TV and SV
- Increased body fat % and decreased muscle tissue. Body fat does not use O2.

122
Q

Body size

A
  • larger heavier person requires more O2
  • more muscle and tissue to consume O2
123
Q

Genetics

A

O2 uptake varies 20 - 25%
- % of slow twitch fibres main reason, increased ability to consume O2

124
Q

Age

A

Maximal O2 uptake declines 1% every year after 25
- training reverses decline
- decline due to decreased SV and HR and vessel elasticity

125
Q

VO2 training

A

Aerobic
- continuous, fartlek, long interval
Increases O2 uptake due to chronic adaptations and improves VO2 max

126
Q

Ventilation why it changes

A
  • To improve volume of oxygen in the lungs that can be diffused into the blood and transported to the working muscles
127
Q

Venous return

A

The amout of blood that is returned to the heart via the veins

128
Q

Muscle pump

A

Muscular contractions compress veins, pushing the blood through the veins back to the heart.

129
Q

Respiratory pump

A

When venous return needs to increase, respiratory rate increases as the diaphragm increases abdominal pressure, forcing blood back to the heart

130
Q

Venoconstriction

A

Reduces the capacity of the veins forcing the blood to be pushed up to the heart

131
Q

Venous return why is changes

A

Takes place so there is an increase in cardiac output
Results in more blood being delivered back to the heart so more oxygenated blood can be pumped back out to the working muscles
