UNIT 8: Flashcards
What are the 3 Major Energy Systems?
Phosphocreatine System - Immediate
Glycolosis - Anaerobic
Oxidative Metabolism - Aerobic
How does The Cardiorespiratory System vary during rest and during excersize?
5 differences
What is VO₂ max ?
VO₂ max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise. It measures your aerobic fitness levels.
Expressed in L/min or ml/kg/min
What are CENTRAL LIMITATIONS on VO2 max?
What are PERIPHERAL LIMITATIONS on VO2 max?
(local limitations)
What are Benefits of Cardiorespiratory Endurance Exercise?
- increase VO2 max
- improved cellular metabolism (oxygenation, waste removal)
- reduced risk of chronic disease
submaximal tests for aerobic activity
(VO2 max prediction)
Astrand treadmill or bike test, step test
gold standard for aerobic activity
VO2 max test, aka the maximal oxygen consumption test.
What is heart rate recovery (HRR)?
difference between your peak HR during exercise and your HR soon after you stop (bpm)
HRR = Peak HR – HR after 60s
What is Peak HR?
reach steady state at approx. 70-80%MHR
What is an Abnormal HRR?
Abnormal HRR (<12 bpm) may predict your mortality risk from CV events
What is the gold standard for Assessing Anaerobic Fitness?
- Gold Standard: 30sec Windgate (lab setting)
- Repetitive 60s jump test
- 500m rowing test
- Field tests: repeated sprint tests (running, cycling), shuttle runs (60 yards, 400m, 800m, etc)
What is Aerobic Capacity?
measure of the ability of the heart and lungs to get oxygen to the muscles or the maximum amount of O2 in ml an athlete can use in one minute/kg of body weight.
What is Aerobic Power?
highest amount of o2 consumption (related to mechanical output), 90-100% of VO2 max
What is Anaerobic Capacity?
he total amount of energy that can be obtained from anaerobic sources (PCr) breakdown and an-aerobic glycolysis in a single bout of continuous exercise.
