Q

Sady et al (1981) compared HR response between men (aged 30) and boys (aged 10) and found that…

A

time to reach half the HR increase was significantly shorter in boys than men—> children have quicker HR responses to exercise

20
Q

At a given work rate, steady state HR is _____ in children (by as much as 40-60 beats) than adults and ______ with increasing age

A

higher, declines

21
Q

A higher steady state HR in children is a compensatory mechanism for…?

A

smaller hearts and lower SV

22
Q

Highest HR to lowest HR…?

A
  • young girls
  • young boys
  • adult girls
  • adult boys
23
Q

HR recovery post exercise is _____ in children than adults

A

faster

24
Q

The faster HR recovery in children may be related to…?

A

lower acidic levels, and quicker response of removal of metabolites

25
Q

SV response in children vs adults…

A

Adults: have nearly double SV from rest to maximal exercise
children: Children rest to max only ranges from about 1.1 to 1.35

26
Q

CO is ____ in children vs. adults for a given Vo2 due to _____ SV

A

lower, lower

27
Q

Lower CO in children is compensated for by higher….

A

arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vo2)

28
Q

Vo2 is determined by 2 things…?

A
  • How much O2 is delivered to cells (CO)

- How much O2 us used by cells (O2 extraction –> arterial-venous difference)

29
Q

HR and ___ ____ resistance were higher in children than adults (boys slightly lower HR than girls—> bigger difference in adulthood)

A

total peripheral

30
Q

Gender differences in SV and HR _____ reaching adulthood

A

increase (difference widens)

31
Q

A smaller amount of muscle mass performing a given amount of work would be stressed to a greater extent, this generating more metabolic by-products and ____ per unit of muscle

A

heat

32
Q

More metabolic by-products and heat per unit of muscle from children having a smaller muscle mass would result in (3)?

A
  • Increase in O2 release by Hb (by decreasing its affinity for O2 at the muscle)
  • Increase in vasodilation of the arteries entering the muscle (increase blood flow)
  • Increase in feedback to medulla via group III and IV afferents contributing to higher HR in children
33
Q

Ontogenetic improvements in VO2max relative to body mass may be determined by increases in the _____ of the exercising tissue (skeletal muscle) and changes in the ______ _____ of its energy system (aerobic enzyme capacity)

A

size, functional capacity

34
Q

Rest: reductions in resting cardiac output relative to body size are accounted for by decreases in …

A

resting HR

35
Q

Exercise: increases in __________ are responsible for matching maximal cardiac output to body size as children grow.

A

maximal SV

36
Q

During dynamic exercise at a given work rate, children have _____ heart rates and _____ stroke volumes than adults.

A

higher, lower

37
Q

Lower cardiac output in children during exercise is compensated for by an increase in ..?

A

a-vo2 difference (arteriovenous O2 difference)

38
Q

There are _____ in absolute Vo2max as children age

A

increase

39
Q

Between the ages of 6-12yrs, the Vo2 max of a boy ……..

A

more than doubles (from 1.2L/min to 2.7 L/min)

- females are about 200mls lower

40
Q

How does a growing child meet the increasing O2 demands?

A

Cardiac size increases in concert with the increases in muscle mass to match O2 delivery to consumption within the exercising muscle

41
Q

How does increase in left ventricular mass help to match O2 delivery (and what is behind the increase)?….

A

Increase in left ventricular mass —> increase in resting stroke volume —> determines maximal exercise SV —> maximal CO —-> therefore, maximal O2 uptake

42
Q

Factors influencing left ventricular size are (3)?

A
  • blood volume
  • heart rate (vagal tone)
  • hormonal effects on the heart
43
Q

Is vo2 max closely related to endurance performance in children

A

Increasing in endurance performance as children grow is NOT related to Vo2 max

44
Q

Can levels of habitual activity in children predict Vo2max?

A

No, not a useful predictor of VO2max.

45
Q

When body size and composition are taken into account, does Vo2 max differ between boys and girls?

A

Most gender differences are due to greater size (body size, heart mass) and body composition (skeletal muscle mass) in boys versus girls. Once these factors are accounted for, there is little difference between boys and girls in maximal aerobic power
