Relative workload is measured as
% of max workload
What is max workload?
Smalled workload that cause the person to reach their max oxygen consumption
What is frequency of exercise rec by surgeon general?
150
With increased energy demand, how does the body get the ATP?
In moderate exercise, ATP demand is met by
mitochondria
In moderate exercise, pyruvate obstained by
breakdown of stored glycogen
Peak activity, excess pyruvate is converted to
lactic acid - breaks down to lactate and H–> lower pH –> fatigue
As workload rises, what happens to oxygen consumption?
It rises
If workload excessds the workload that produces the max oxygen consumption, what will occur?
Oxygen deficit throughout exercise
What is the best measure of aerobic fitness?
Max oxygen consumption
What are factors that influence max oxygen consumption?
Oxygen consumption is determined by
cardiac outpus and oxygen extraction
Why does MAP increase during exercise?
Because CO increases proportionately more than does than TPR decrease
During exercise, what happens to systolic and diastolic pressure?
Increase in HR is produced by
increase in symp activity, decrease in para and increase in catecholamines
Increased stroke volume is caused by
What does not change during exercise?
Amount of O2 in arterial blood
What happens to TPR during exercise?
It decreases
Arterioles perfusing the working muscles are dilated by
the metabolic byproducts that accumulate during exercise
The heart metabolizes
aerobically
What happens to cutenous blood vessels during exercise?
They dilate and increase blood floq
Increased cutanoeus blood flow contributes to
dissipation of heat from the exercising muscles
Symp nerves that inncervate systemic venous vessels cause the vascular smooth m in veins to
contract and shift bld volume out of veins into heart and arteries
Blood plasma volume decreases during
aerobic exercise
