PASS
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
Smita is married and has one small child who is not in school yet. She works full-time from her
home office as a programmer/analyst for a publishing company, which involves sitting at her
computer for most of the day. When she’s not working, she tends to be at home or with family
members who live in the area. Spending time with family is very important to Smita, as is
making healthy meals for her husband and son (she does the family’s grocery shopping and
cooking). She doesn’t currently do any regular physical activity, but she would like to because
she knows it’s important for health.\n\nHow many sessions of exercise per week would you
recommend for Smita?
4 days/week
How many days per week is suggested for cardiovascular exercise?
4-7
What are some of the variables to consider in planning cardio exercise frequency?
Number of session a client can commit to \nClients current fitness level\ngoals for cardio
training
optimal aerobic training effects occur in how many training session per week?
4-5
Name the four ATP energy systems and how long they provide energy for.
ATP-CP – 1-10 sec’s at very high intensity \nGlycolytic – high intensity 10 secs – 2-3
min\nOxidative – mid to low intensity +2 min\nFatty Acid Oxidation – low intensity +2 min
How many units of ATP does each ATP energy system deliver?
ATP-CP: 1 unit of ATP/ unit of CP
Glycolytic: 2-3 ATP/unit of glucose
Oxidative: 38 ATP/ unit of glucose
Fatty Acid Oxidation: 100 ATP/unit of fatty acid
What is EPOC?
excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
What is the lactate threshold?
The point at which the aerobic system cannot supply enough ATP for the needs of the body
What type of fuel does the ATP-CP energy system use?
Stored ATP
what type of fuel does the glycolytic system use?
blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the oxidative system use?
blood glucose, muscle glycogen
what type of fuel does the fatty acid oxidation system use?
fatty acids in the blood stream
What is the work to rest ratio for ATP-CP interval training?
1:3-1:6
What is the work to rest ratio for glycolitic system interval training?
1:2-1:5
What is the work to rest ratio for oxidative system interval training?
1: .5 – 1:1
Why do you not use work relief to train ATP-CP system?
Adequate rest is needed to replenish ATP in the cells
Why would you use work relief to train glycolytic system?
Blocks ATP replenishing of ATP
Body relies on lactic acid
Oxidative interval training, why rest relief?
If lactic acid not cleared from the system the glycolic system is less able to provide energy
therefore giving a stronger training stimulus to the oxidative system
How much rest should be between ATP-CP training interval sets?
5-10 min
How much rest should be between glycolytic training interval sets?
10-12 min
How much rest should be between oxidative training interval sets?
