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
Summary of Chronic adaptations (cont.):
6. increased blood volume

7. decreased post-ex BP

8. ventilation increased at max workloads

9.. pulmonary diffusion increased at max workloads
Summary of Chronic adaptations (cont.):
10. increased a-v O2 diff

11. increased lactate threshold

12. increased VO2max

13. decreased VO2 at submax workloads
