Distribution of hormones
Thermoregulation Maintenance of blood pressure
Cardiac output
Cardiac output (Q) = Stroke volume (SV) Heart rate (HR) examples rest: SV = 75 ml; HR = 60 bpm; Q = 4.5 L/min exercise: SV = 130 ml; HR = 180 bpm; Q = 23.4 L/min Increased Cardiac Output Increase in HR & SV Enhances oxygen and fuel delivery to active skeletal muscle and heart and speeds delivery of carbon dioxide
Secondary regulator arterial baroreceptors located in carotid bodies and aortic arch respond to arterial pressure Reset during exercise
Cardiac Regulation
Intrinsic control Frank-Starling Principle
Ca2+ influx w/ myocardial stretch
peripheral input
chemoreceptors, baroreceptors, muscle afferents
hormonal
EPI, NE (catecholamines)
Humoral Chemoreceptors
Pao2 Not normally involved in control Paco2 Central PaCO2 chemoreceptors are 1st control factor at rest H+ Peripheral H+ chemoreceptors are important factor during high-intensity exercise
Preload end diastolic pressure (amount of myocardial stretch) Afterload resistance blood encounters as it leaves ventricles
Blood Flow to Muscles Major portion of exercise cardiac output are delivered to the working muscles Rest: 4-7 ml of blood are delivered each minute to every 100g of muscle increases steadily until maximal average 50-75 per 100g
Systolic B.P. increases with intensity valsalva during resistance exercise increased use of upper body musculature Diastolic B. P. does not change
Cardiovascular drift: increased H.R. compensates for a decreased S.V. from a decreased total blood volume to maintain Q. redistribution
decreased blood plasma
decreasing O2 transport
Decreased blood pH level
Cardiovascular Endurance
Definition: The ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to deliver adequate amounts of oxygen to the cells to meet the demands of prolonged physical activity.
Oxygen Consumption VO
Resting 3.5 ml (one metabolic equivalent MET) of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute
ml/kgBW/min
Maximal oxygen normal 25-80 ml*kg-1*min-1 or 7.1 to 22.9 METs
Heart Rate
Cardiac Output
Stroke Volume
Amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat. * 50 ml per beat (untrained) to 200ml (trained)
Amount of oxygen removed from the blood in a given tim period. (a-vO2 difference)
SV*HR
May increase 4X 5L/min to 2022L/min Stroke Volume begins to plateau at about 5060%VO2max Average college men: 100-115 ml/beat Average college women: 25% less Cardiovascular Drift
Cardiac Output increases the greatest during transition from rest to exercise in trained
Heart Rate increases linearly with intensity Untrained individuals have very little increase in SV from rest to exercise, main increase in Cardiac Output is HR
Trained will experience a higher level of exercise and oxygen uptake before reaching a HR compared to untrained Oxygen uptake during moderate exercise, HR of an athlete averages 70 bpm lower than sedentary
Maximal HR drops about one b/yr starting at 12 yr Normal Heart rate can range from 40-200
The difference in the oxygen content between arterial and venous blood
Untrained at Rest
Only 5 ml of oxygen is used from the 20 ml of oxygen in each 100 ml of arterial blood that passes through capillaries 75% of bloods original oxygen load still remains bound to hemoglobin
Increases transit time, which prolongs the passive exchange of gases that is essential for prolonged performance
Blood slowly travels through the capillary, gasses and metabolites diffuse from the blood into the muscle cell
