| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three principles of training? | Overload, specificity, reversibility |
| What is the overload principle? | muscles must be challenged by an unaccustomed FID for adaptations to occur |
| What is the overload principle dependent on? | FID, frequency, intensity, duration |
| What is the specificity principle? | adaptations occur specifically in the muscle fibers used and system involved (aerobic v. anaerobic) |
| What is the reversibility principle? | no overload or use of muscles |
| What are 3 other ways to refer to VO2 max? | max oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic power, aerobic fitness |
| What does VO2 max describe? | The max capacity of the body to move and use oxygen during exercise via large muscle groups |
| How can you measure VO2 max? | incremental exercise tests with a treadmill incline |
| What is the FID needed in order for endurance training to improve VO2 max? | 3+ times a week, 50%+ VO2 max, 20-60 minutes |
| T/F You can improve VO2 max via isometric and dynamic training | False |
| When does VO2 max increase? | After 2-3 months of training |
| How does VO2 max relate to mortality? | Indirect predictor of mortality, higher VO2 max means lower mortality |
| What is the average increase in VO2 max? | 15-20% |
| What causes initial increase in maxes? | neural adaptations |
| How large can VO2 maxes be in untrained individuals? | Up to 50% |
| How large can VO2 maxes be in trained individuals? | 2-3% |
| Why do trained individuals have smaller increases? | genetics have high initial maxes and require greater intensities to improve |
| T/F People with lower initial VO2 maxes require lower intensitys for improvement | True |
| What percent of adaptations are effected by heritability and ? | 47-50% |
| T/F There is no genetic variability for VO2 max | False |
| What is volitional exhaustion? | exhausing |
| What is the Fick equation? | maximal cardiac output x a-vO2 difference |
| What causes short term increases in VO2 max? | Primarily the stroke volume max increases |
| What causes long term increases in VO2 max? | Primarily improved a-vO2 difference, but also SV |
| What role does max HR play in increasing VO2 max? | It has no role |
| Why does a-vO2 difference increase over time? | Mitochondria become better at utilizing O2 |
| What causes variability amongst VO2 max improvements? | Differences in stroke volume max differences |
| What 3 factors affect stroke volume? | increased EDV/preload, decreased afterload, increased contractility |
| How does afterload decrease affect stroke volume? | decreased SNS activity causes a decreased amount of vasoconstriction, which increases the amount of blood flow into the heart as blood vessels dilate |
| How does contractility affect stroke volume? | the heart's contraction force increases and ejects more blood per pump |
| What 3 factors contribute to an increased EDV/preload? | increased plasma volume, increased fill time, increased venous return, increased ventricular volume |
| How does diastole correlate to an increase in SV? | The heart spends more time in diastole, so there is more time to fill atria with blood |
| Which factor is rest specific? | Fill time, as diastole decreases during maximal HR |
| Why does a-vO2 max increase? | more oxygen is extracted and used in the blood |
| What three factors cause a-vO2 increase? | increased capillary density, increase # of mitochondria, and increased muscle blood flow |
| How does capillary density affect a-vO2? | Icreased number means more widespread flow, and a slowed down rate to allow more time for exchange |
| What effect does SNS activity have on a-vO2 and SV? | More SNS activity means more vasoconstriction, so a decrease in SNS activity causes increase in a-vO2 and SV |
| What does our ability to continue prolonged submaximal work depend on? | maintenance of homeostasis |
| What are the three ways we maintain/reach steady state? | rapid transition in (faster stabilization = easier to maintain), reduced reliance on glycogen stores, and cardo/terhmoregulatory (body temp) adaptations |
| What are the two causes of adaptations? | structural and biochemical changes |
| What causes initial adaptations? | Neural/hormonal changes |
| what does endurance training affect? | fiber types and capillarity |
| what happens to fibers with endurance training? | they shift from fast to slow |
| what affects the extent of the changes? | intensity, duration, and previous training experience |
| Why do fibers shift from fast to slow? | they become more efficient as slow myosin increases, which is different type of ATPase that is more efficient and less fatigueable i.e. more work given for less ATP cost |
| what is angiogenesis | the generation of new capillaries |
| why is an increase in the number of capillaries good? | increases amount of bloow flow, waste removal, and O2 diffusion |
| what does a mitochondria increase do? | increases amount of fat utilization, increases oxidative capacity, improves mitochondrial turnover |
| what is mitochondrial turnover | removal of "bad" mitochondria and replacing them with functioning ones |
| when is the largest increase in mitochondria | first 5 days of training, numbers increase 50-100% |
| what effect does endurance training have on the O2 deficit | reduces the O2 deficit, steady state achieved sooner via oxidative production so requires less energy |
| what is the pH mechanism behind faster steady state | more oxidative production of ATP means less lactate buildup, less H+ ions, less PC depeltion, which reduces acidity, which then causes less homestatic disruption |
| what is the primary fuel of the NS | blood glucose |
| how does endurance training affect blood glucose | maintain b. glucose, rely more on fats |
| what are the 3 ways endurance training increases fat metabolism | increased FFA transport in blood, increased FFA across cell to mitochondria, increased mitochondrial oxidation of FFA |
| why are FFAs transported more | increased capillaries allow more time for them to be bind and be brought in |
| why are FFAs transported more across cytoplasm to mitochondria | increased number of mitochondria increases the surface area for FFA enzymes to come in |
| what are the two enzymes involved in FFA transportation | carnitine palmitoyltransferasel, fatty acid translocase |
| why do mitochondria increase amount of FFA oxidation | increased beta oxidation enzymes results in more acetyl coA, which can be used in the Krebs and decrease amount of glycolysis/glucose use |
| what is a free radical | highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons that damage proteins, enzymes, and DNA |
| how are they produced | they are produced by contracting muscles and are what cause us to become fatigued |
| how does exercise training protect against free radicals | creates more endogenous (inherit) antioxidants, which protect us against them |
| what does it mean that muscle biochemical adaptions are local | they are confined to the specifically trained system, and will not apply to the system as a whole. |
| how is the sns affected by endurance training | activity begins to decrease, resulting in less E/NE as well as decreased HR and ventiliation |
| why is the SNS less activated | less feedback from chemoreceptors as adaptations increase |
| what happens to motor units as endurance training increase | less motor units are recruited and less energy is expended |
| how does training affect the chain of feedback, specifically motor unit recruitment from higher centers | reduces "feed forward" input from cardio center and brainstem, requiring less signals for muscles and making the lungs/muscles/etc more efficient |
| what causes inital decrease in vo2 max following detraining | decreased SV max |
| what causes long term decreases in vo2 max following detraining | decreased max avO2 differece because of decreased number ot mitochondria |
| how are muscle fibers affected by detraining | they shift from slow to fast |
| what happens to mitochondria with detraining | mitochondria rapidly die and decrease oxidative capacity, decreasing our max possible HR due to decreased bflow |
| what happens to capillary density with detraining | remains the same |
| what happens to mitochondria within one week of traning | 50% are lost |
| what happens to mitochondria within 2 weeks of training | almost all of the gained mitochondria are lost |
| how long does it take to gain back adaptations following retraining | 3-4 weeks |

| what portion of exercise relies on ATP-PC | first 10 seconds |
| what portion of exercise relies on both anaerobic and aerobic systems | 10-30 seconds |
| what portion of exercise relies primarily on aerobic systems | 30+ seconds |
