Cards

Term
Direct Calorimetry
Definition
measure's body heat production to estimate energy expenditure (chamber)
Term
Indirect Calorimetry
Definition
calculates energy expenditure from the ratio of CO2 produced to O2 produced
Term
Metabolic Cart
Definition
instrument used to measure O2 consumption; measures diff btw oxygen inhaled and oxygen exhaled
Term
Gas Analyzer
Definition
measure's O2 consumption; samples ambient and exhaled air
Term
Respiratory Exchange Rate (RER)
Definition
detremines what fuels are being burned for energy
Term
RER that burns fats
Definition
around .7 (low intensity)
Term
RER that burns carbohydrates
Definition
closer to 1 (high intensity)
Term
RER at rest
Definition
.78 to .80
Term
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)
Definition
the minimum amount of energy needed to sustain basic cellular function
Term
Factors that affect RMR
Definition
Age;Bodt Temp;Psychological Stress;Hormones
Term
When exercise intensity increases what else increases in direct proportion?
Definition
Metabolism
Term
During Exercise at a constant rate, how long does it take VO2 to increase to its steady state?
Definition
1-2 minutes
Term
VO2 max
Definition
The maximal volume or capacity for oxygen consumption by the body during maximal exertion
Term
VO2 max does what?
Definition
best measurment of cardiorespiratory endurance;increases with training;declines in active ppl after age 25-30
Term
oxygen deficit
Definition
diff btw the oxygen required for a given exercise intensity and the actual oxygen consumption
Term
Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)
Definition
the mismatch btw O2 consumption and energy requirements
Term
factors responsible for EPOC
Definition
rebuild ATP & PCr supplies;clears lactate;replenishes O2 supplies; removes CO2 from body tissues;increased metabolic & respiratory rates due to increased body temp
Term
Lactate Threshold
Definition
point at which blood lactate begins to accumulate above resting oncentrations during exercise of increasing intensity;lactate contributes to fatigue
Term
What happens during lactate threshold?
Definition
Lactate production exceeds body's ability to buffer & metabolize it
Term
Economy of Effort
Definition
a principle of design process that says that design and production time should be in proportion to the value it produces in the quality of the final product serving users’ needs
Term
Causes of Fatigue?
Definition
Energy Delivery;Accumulation of metabolic by-products;failure of the muscle's fibers contractile mechanism;alteration in the nervous system (performance enhancing supplements are usually directed at one of these)
Term
Glycogen depletion
Definition
is selective to the muscle groups involved in the activity;exercise feels harder;depletion from type I & II fibers depends on the duration and intensity of the exercise
Term
PCr depletion
Definition
allows ATP to quickly resynthesize
Term
Neuromuscular fatigue
Definition
decreased release of acetylcholine;hyperactive acetylcholinesterase; hypoactive acetylcholinesterase (theory behind why cramps occur)
Term
How does H+ generated by lactic acid lead to fatigue?
Definition
decreases muscle pH, which impaires the cellular processes of energy production and muscle concentration
Term
Major Cardiovascular Functions
Definition
delivers oxygen & other nutrients like glucose, fatty acids, lactate, etc.;removes CO2 & other wastes;transports hormones;thermoregulation(blood:reservoir of heat);immune fuction;maintenance of acid-base balance
Term
Ventricles
Definition
do most of the pumping
Term
Left side of heart
Definition
sends oxygenated blood to the body
Term
Right side of heart
Definition
sends deoxygenated blood back to heart
Term
Blood Flow through Body
Definition
tissues>right atrium>right ventricle>lungs>left atrium>left ventricle>tissues
Term
Myocardium
Definition
the cardiac muscle;thickness varies according to chamber wall stress (left ventricle is the most powerful of chambers & the largest)
Term
What type of fiber makes up the heart?
Definition
Type I
Term
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
Definition
pacemaker of heart; autorhythmic(no external input needed)
Term
Atrioventricular node (AV node)
Definition
beats slower than SA node
Term
AV bundle
Definition
patches of conductive tissue; act like nerves but they aren't
Term
PNS
Definition
acts as the vagus nerve to decrease heart rate and force (resting system for heart)
Term
SNS
Definition
increases heart rate and force of cardiac contraction (fight or flight)
Term
Vagal Tone
Definition
impulses from the vagus nerve producing inhibition of the heartbeat
Term
resting heart rate for an adult
Definition
between 60-85 bpm
decreases with endurance training;due to increased PNS stimulation
Term
Cardiac Arrhythmias
Definition
altered resting heart rate
Term
Bradycardia
Definition
resting heart rate below 60bpm
Term
Tachcardia
Definition
resting heart rate above 100bpm
Term
Diastole
Definition
heart relaxation(blood fills chambers)
Term
Systole
Definition
heart contraction(clood leaves chambers)
Term
Stroke Volume (SV)
Definition
volume of blood pumped per contraction
Term
Ejection Fraction (EF)
Definition
the fraction of blood that gets pumped out when heart beats
Term
Arteries
Definition
carry oxygenated blood away from the heart (thickest & stringest b/c of blood pressure)
Term
Arterioles
Definition
carry oxygenated blood away from heart;smaller arteries
Term
Capillaries
Definition
site of gas exchange in lunges and tissues
Term
Venules
Definition
carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart;small veins
Term
Veins
Definition
carry deoxygenated blood to lungs;low pressure
