Ventilation |
How much air is breathed in or out in one minute. L/min |
Respiratory system |
|
|
Tidal volume |
How much air is inspired or expired in one breath. L |
Respiratory system |
|
|
Respiratory rate |
The number or breaths taken in one minute. Breaths/min |
Respiratory system |
|
|
Diffusion |
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to a lower concentration |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Heart rate |
The number of times the heart beats in one minute. Beats/min |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Stroke volume |
The amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle per beat. L/beat |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Cardiac output |
The amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute. L/min Q=HR x SV |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Blood pressure |
The pressure of the blood being pumped against artery walls. mm Hg |
Systolic pressure/Diastolic pressure |
|
|
Systolic blood pressure |
Pressure in the arteries when blood is pumped out of the heart |
Systolic pressure/Diastolic pressure |
|
|
Diastolic blood pressure |
Pressure in the arteries when the heart relaxes and ventricles fill with blood |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Venous return |
The return of blood back to the heart through veins |
Cardiovascular system |
|
|
Blood plasma |
The fluid in which red blood cells, white blood cells & platelets are carried around the body. Blood volume decreased with exercise as water in blood plasma is lost through sweat. |
Cardiovascular system Arteriovenous oxygen difference |
|
|
AVO2 difference |
The difference in oxygen concentration in the arteries compared to the veins |
Respiratory system |
|
|
VO2 Max |
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken up, transported and used by the body per minute |
|
|
|
Absolute VO2 max |
Does not consider a persons weight therefore less accurate. Measure L/min |
|
|
|
Relative VO2 max |
Takes into consideration a persons weight therefore more accurate. Measure in L/kg/min |
|
