The effects of training on the CV and respiratory system are generally:
|
aerobic in nature
|
|
The most important component of physical fitness:
|
aerobic endurance (cardiorespiratory endurance)
|
|
Poor cardiorespiratory endurance is a major factor in the onset of:
|
fatigue
|
|
Ability of a single muscle or muscle group to sustain high-intensity, repetitive, or static exercise that occurs in repeated 1-2 min bursts:
|
muscular endurance.
Related to muscular strength and anaerobic development. |
|
Ability of the whole body to sustain prolonged, steady-state exercise:
|
cardiorespiratory endurance.
Related to CV and respiratory system development. |
|
The purpose of what system is to transport oxygen to the tissues in order to resynthesize ATP via oxidative metabolism?
|
The cardiorespiratory system
|
|
The rate at which O2 can be delivered and used during MAXIMAL, exhaustive work is termed:
|
maximal oxygen consumption.
VO2max |
|
At submaximal levels of work the rate of oxygen delivered and used is termed:
|
VO2
|
|
Cardiorespiratory endurance training improves the ability to:
|
deliver and use oxygen
|
|
Most of the changes that occur with training are due to adaptations by what system?
|
cardiovascular system
|
|
The respiratory system is seldom a:
|
limiter
|
|
Most of the changes relate to improvements in:
|
stroke volume
|
|
Which ventricle shows the greatest changes with endurance training?
|
left ventricle
|
|
The left ventricle experiences changes in:
|
1. internal diameter (increased EDV)
2. wall thickness (more forceful contractions) |
|
At submaximal workloads the heart rate:
|
decreases after training
|
|
At maximal workloads the heart rate:
|
doesn't change or decreases slightly after training.
|
|
Heart rate change after training is probably due to:
|
1. increased EDV
2. decreased SNS, increased PSNS/vagal tone |
|
The time after exercise that it takes your heart to return to its resting rate:
|
heart rate recovery period.
|
|
After training, heart rate returns to resting level more:
|
quickly after exercise
|
|
What happens to stroke volume after training?
|
stroke volume increases.
|
|
The increase in SV after training is due to:
|
1. increased EDV
2. increased LVID ( interior diameter) 3. increased MWT (wall thickness) 4. decreased peripheral vascular resistance |
|
This decreases slightly or does not change at rest:
|
cardiac output
|
|
Increases dramatically at maximal exertion due to the increase in maximal SV:
|
cardiac output
|
|
Does blood flow increase or decrease with training?
|
blood flow increases with training
|
|
Reasons why blood flow increases with training:
|
1. new blood capillaries are formed around muscle fibers.
2. increased vasodilation 3. better distribution of blood to active tissues 4. increased blood volume (plasma & RBCs) |
|
There is increased blood volume with:
|
training
|
|
Increased blood volume is primarily due to:
|
increased plasma volume
|
|
RBCs also increase, but plasma volume increases:
|
more.
Therefore a decrease in hematocrit. |
|
Upon training, blood viscosity:
|
decreases
|
|
Exercise and physical actvity are an important lifestyle modification in the prevention and treatment of:
|
hypertension
|
|
Regular aerobic exercise has been shown to reduce:
|
blood pressure
|
|
During aerobic exercise the systolic blood pressure and heart rate:
|
increases
|
|
During aerobic exercise diastolic blood pressure:
|
remains the same or may decrease slightly
|
|
Immediately following an exercise bout SBP may:
|
drop below pre-exercise levels.
|
|
Respiratory adaptations to endurance training are generally seen at:
|
maximal workloads only
|
|
Which system is seldom a limiter to endurance performance?
|
respiratory system
|
|
What happens to pulmonary ventilation during maximal effort (after trained)?
|
it increases
|
|
What happens to pulmonary diffusion at maxmimal work rates?
|
it increases
|
|
What happens to the a-v O2 diff with training due to more oxygen being extracted by tissues?
|
it increases
|
|
Components of physical fitness:
|
1. cardiorespiratory fitness
2. muscular strength 3. muscular endurance 4. flexibility 5. body composition |
|
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is considered the best measure of:
|
cardiorespiratory fitness
|
|
Formula for aerobic fitness:
|
aerobic fitnss (VO2max) = O2 transport x O2 use
|
|
Fick Equation:
|
aerobic fitness (VO2max) = O2 transport x O2 use
OR VO2max = Q x a-v O2 diff |
|
Increases in VO2 are primarily due to increases in:
|
1. cardiac outout
2. blood flow |
|
Other factors affecting VO2 include:
|
1. prior level of fitness
2. specificity of training 3. age 4. gender 5. genetics |
|
What happens to VO2 at submaximal workloads (after trained)?
|
VO2 decreases
VO2max is increased after training. |
|
Chronic adaptations of the cardiorespiratory system result in improvements to metabolism as well as:
|
1. lactate threshold
2. respiratory exchange ratio (RER) |
|
At submaximal workloads lactate levels are:
|
decreased
|
|
There is delayed accumulation of lactic acid due to improvements in oxygen:
|
1. delivery
2. utilization |
|
Increased lactate levels are achieved at:
|
maximal workloads
|
|
Improvements in endurance performance:
|
1. peak VO2max
or 2. perform at higher % VO2max |
|
Respiratory Exchange Ratio:
|
1. decreases for submax levels (improved O2 consumption)
2. increases at max levels (tolerate greater workoads) |
|
Summary of Chronic adaptations:
|
1. cardiac hypertrophy
2. increased SV 3. decreased HR 4. Q higher at submax levels 5. increases Q at max levels |
|

|
6. increased blood volume
