During what kind exercise might blood pressure spike to higher levels then 200 mmHg? -
✔weightlifting as the muscular contractions compress the arteries and resist blood
flow
Aprox average resting heart rate? - ✔72bpm
Where is the carotid artery and what can it be used to measure? - ✔neck below jaw
line, blood pressure
Where is the radial artery and what can it be used to measure? - ✔wrist, blood pressure
What is stroke volume? - ✔the amount of blood that the left ventricle ejects in one beat
What is the average stroke volume at rest for a typical male? - ✔70 milliliters
What happens to SV as client becomes fitter? - ✔ventricles become larger
contract with more force
SV increases
trained deliver more blood/heartbeat vs. an untrained
What is cardiac output? - ✔the amount of blood that the heart ejects in 1 minute
What is the equation for determining cardiac output? - ✔CO=SVxHR
,What happens to stroke volume during moderate exercise? - ✔increases early and rises until
it plateaus
What happens to HR during exercise? - ✔intensifies to maximal levels before exhaustion
What are the benefits of better cardiac output? - ✔- means that heart will beat fewer times
( more rest for heart\n- able to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to working muscles with
less effort
Ventilation refers to? - ✔the mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lungs
Diffusion refers to? - ✔The way gases are exchanges in the lungs
The average adult male has a lung volume of? - ✔4-6 liters
What is the rate of pulmonary ventilation at rest? - ✔10 liters per minute
What is the rate of pulmonary ventilation during the first minute of exercise? - ✔45 liters
per minute
After two minutes pulmonary ventilation can increase to? - ✔60 liters per minutes
What are the rates of pulmonary ventilation for a well conditioned athlete? - ✔220 Liters
per minute
What is VO2max? - ✔the maximum amount of oxygen that body can extract and use.
, How is VO2max measured? - ✔maximum volume of liters of O2 per minute relative to
body mass
What are the two main factors that contribute to VO2max efficiency? - ✔the heart's ability
to distribute blood \n\nthe muscles ability to extract and use oxygen
What is EPOC oxygen used for? - ✔to bring the body back into homeostasis
Why is active recovery (cool down) important? - ✔supports heart and circulatory system
to redistribute blood to all body parts
What are some of the benefits of cardiovascular training? (6) - ✔- reduce BP\n- reduces
resting HR\n- improves daily activities \n- improvement in oxygen delivery and extraction \n-
increased stroke volume \n- creased number and size of mitochondria
What does FITT stand for? - ✔Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
What is the order of flow of blood through the cardiovascular system? - ✔Vena
cava\nRight atrium\nRight ventricle\nPulmonary artery\nLungs\nPulmonary vein\nLeft
atrium\nLeft ventricle\nAorta
