Q

Why does HR decrease during ultra endurance running events?

A
  1. Power output decreased, Vo2 decreased (they are tightly coupled), lower CO required to match that VO2
    OR
  2. SV is increasing while VO2 and CO stay the same

Q

What is cardiac output tightly coupled to?

A

Vo2
As we increase VO2, CO increases linearly and so does HR

Q

Drafting

A

Surrounding one cyclist who the team wants to win with other cyclists during the race to break the air resistance so it requires less effort to cycle for most of the race

Q

Burning matches

A

Every time a cyclist puts in a high effort “burning a match” which depletes glycogen and makes it harder throughout the race to replenish muscle glycogen

Q

Final effort

A
  • During the final climb cyclists enter severe intensity domain when they stand and accelerate
  • Mismatched ATP outflow and aerobic ATP inflow
  • Leads to glycogen depletion and burning matches
24
Q

How can burning a match effect the next day?

A

Progressive decline in muscle glycogen as cyclists keep burning matches which affects future races

25
Q

David Roche training style

A

Rather than testing and training an endurance athlete’s LT to determine performance, he only works to train Vo2 max bc if you can increase Vo2 max, everything else will also increase (LT and CP)
Trained to improve 5k

26
Q

What is meant by “be aggressively open minded and curious”?

A

David Roche provides an anomaly, and these anomalies are what lead to revolutions

27
Q

Where does gas exchange between the air and blood occur?

A

Alveolar air sacs

28
Q

What is the efficiency of gas exchange dependent on?

A

Ventilation

29
Q

Respiratory exchange ratio (RER)

A

Ratio between VCO2 and VO2

30
Q

What does a RER value of less than 1 indicate?

A

Aerobic metabolism is involved
*CO2 production equal to or less than O2

31
Q

What does a RER value of greater than 1 indicate?

A

Anaerobic metabolism is involved.

32
Q

Respiratory quotient (RQ)

A

The ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed by the cells each minute
RER provides a good estimate of RQ

33
Q

Tidal volume

A

Volume of air drawn into and expired out of lungs during a respiratory cycle

34
Q

How does arterial gas composition change during exercise?

A

It doesn’t; it remains constant

35
Q

What components of ventilation increase during exercise?

A

Tidal volume, respiratory rate
O2 and CO2 production

36
Q

What state must you be exercising in to use oxygen consumption as a measure of overall metabolic rate?

A

During steady state exercise in moderate and heavy intensity domains

37
Q

How can we estimate the energetic cost of aerobically sustainable activities?

A

Determine rate of oxygen consumption

38
Q

Which two factors affect the concentration of exhaled gases?

A
  1. Metabolic demand of the active tissues
  2. Flow of respiratory medium over respiratory surface
39
Q

What happens to oxygen as energy yielding molecules such as carbs and fats are metabolized to produce ATP?

A

Oxygen consumption increases

40
Q

How can the rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production be measured?

A

Spirometry and gas analysis techniques

41
Q

Indirect calorimetry

A

RER can provide an indication of the predominant substrate being metabolized during exercise

42
Q

Direct calorimetry

A

Enclosing an organism inside a thermally insulated chamber and monitoring the temperature rise inside (hard to do)

43
Q

Is the amount of heat released related to the amount of O2 consumed in aerobic respiration?

A

Yes

44
Q

What two assumptions must be accurate for the amount of heat released to be related to O2 consumed?

A
  1. Organism must be using aerobic respiration only
  2. Current oxygen uptake must exactly balance current need for aerobic respiration
45
Q

Breathing frequency (f) in normal ventilation

A

15 respiratory cycles per min

46
Q

VE

A

Expired minute volume; amount of air exhaled in one min of breathing

47
Q

How to calculate VE

A

VE= f x TV (tidal volume)

48
Q

What factors contribute to increasing tidal volume and respiratory rate during exercise?

A
  1. Increased central nervous drive
  2. Changes in arterial blood pH
  3. Potassium conc
  4. Alterations in sensitivity of carotid bodies to CO2
49
Q

How to calculate theoretical max HR?

A

220-age

50
Q

How to calculate rate of oxygen consumption (assuming an RQ of 1)

A

VO2= VI(FIO2-FEO2)

51
Q

How to calculate rate of CO2 production (assuming an RQ of 1)

A

VCO2= VI x FECO2

52
Q

What happens to blood flow to exercising muscle as intensity increases?

A

Dilation of arterioles = increased blood flow

53
Q

Synpatholysis

A

Ability of blood vessels in skeletal muscle to counteract vasoconstrictive effects of sympathetic NS and allows blood flow to active muscle to be maintained

54
Q

What should your HR stay below to ensure you’re exercising in an aerobic steady state condition?

A

Don’t go above 75% of max HR

55
Q

At higher intensities what can we not say when measuring oxygen consumption?

A

Cannot claim that the metabolic rate calculated from oxygen consumption represents total metabolic rate bc we are using anaerobic metabolism
RER won’t = RQ
