week 4: Flashcards
what is exercise a challenge to
homeostasis
muscle blood flow and exercise intensity relationship
directly proportional until saturation point has been hit
reasons for saturation point
opened up as many blood vessels as you can
can’t increase exercise intensity anymore
cardiac output= (litres per minute)
heart rate x stroke volume
stroke volume
volume ejected by ventricle per beat
bradycardic
less than 60bpm
tachycardic
over 90bpm
fox’s formula
max heart rate = 220-age
more recent max heart rate formula
211- (0.64) x age
relationship between heart rate and the amount of work being performed
very positive correlation
r=0.99
peak heart rate often hit when
peak oxygen transport hit (V02 max)
Karvonen heart rate reserve method
max hr- resting hr = HRR
moderate = 60-70% HRR
how much can cardiac output increase by during exercise
normally 4-6 fold
( from 4-8 litres per min- 20-25)
stroke volume increase during exericse
30% increase compared to at rest
80ml per beat - 120/140ml per beat
heart rate increase during exercise
2-3 fold
60 bpm- 180bpm
what does exercise anticipation activate
sympathetic neurons in hypothalamus
what nerve switches off during exercise and what nerve becomes activated
vagal (parasympathetic) nerves switches off
sympathetic nerve becomes activated
what does sympathetic nerve becoming activated cause
SA nodes intrinsic firing frequency accelerates
faster heart rate
gets stronger until peak HR reached
what does sympathetic nervous stimulation of adrenal medulla release
epinephrine
effects of epinephrine
delivered by blood
accelerates SA nod discharge
dilates coronary vessels
increases myocardial metabolism
