List short term effects of exercise
Why does heart rate increase during exercise
more oxygen is required at working muscles
more carbon dioxide needs to be removed
Why does stroke volume increase during exercise
More blood comes back to heart, therefore more oxygenated blood at the working muscles
Why does lactic acid build up during exercise
Due to an excess of amount of carbon dioxide, which leads to fatigue
Oxygen not available to break down the lactic acid
Therefore oxygen debt
Why does cardiac output increase during exercise
Oxygenated blood will come to our muscles more efficiently
Why does depth of breathing and rate of breathe increase during exercise
So more oxygen can reach your working muscles in one go
define heart rate
The number of times your heart beats per minute
define stroke volume
The volume of blood pumped out of the heart’s left ventricle each beat
define cardiac output
The total volume of blood the heart pumps out in one minute.
how to calculate cardiac output (Q)
heart rate(HR) x stroke volume(SV)
Name long term effects of exercise
define muscle hypertrophy
An increase in the size of muscle, resulting in increased power and force.
define cardiac hypertrophy
Where the heart increases in size and capacity, meaning the left ventricle will pump more blood out per beat.
how does the respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together
