This is the minimum intensity required to induce changes in VO2Max during a bout of endurance training.
What is >50% VO2Max?
This structure is the body's thermostat and regulates body temp.
What is the hypothalamus?
Exercise training (should) cause levels of FFM to do this.
What is increase?
Ergogenic aids are defined as substances used to increase an athlete's performance through these three means.
What are increased force production, endurance, or skill?
More pyruate can enter the Kreb's Cycle due to this aerobic adaptation.
Body temperature can be regulated through this effector organ that increases/decreases blood flow to the skin.
What are arterioles (vascular smooth muscle)?
This method(s) of estimating body composition involves radiation and can assess bone mineral density
What are MRI / DXA?
Ergogenic aids can be separated into four categories: pharmacological, physiological, nutritional, and this.
What is angiogenesis?
This is the number of days Dr. Black would have to exercise in the heat to become acclimatized.
What is 10 days?
This method of body composition measures the resistance to the flow of an electrical current.
What is Bioelectrical Impedance?
Depletion of this substrate is associated with fatigue and decreased endurance time.
What is glycogen?
What is increased parasympathetic input?
SV declines during exercise in the heat, but Cardiac Output remains elevated due to this.
What is increased HR?
This is the general trend in weight-gain with age.
What is weight generally increases until 50s, then declines?
Blood clotting and heart failure are risks associated with this (physiological) ergogenic aid.
What is blood doping (or EPO)?
These three factors are responsible for increases in Stroke Volume (SV) due to chronic aerobic training
What are increased ventricle size, increased filling time (reduced HR), and increased venous return?
Changes that occur with acclimatization include earlier sweating, decreased body/skin temp, and these two factors.
Carrying excess weight decreases performance variables such as VO2 max, running distance, and running time due to these factors.
Increased force/energy demand for weight bearing activities, reduced metabolic capacity relative to bodyweight.
This is the name of the best professor ever.
Who is Dr. Black?
What are blood doping, dehydration (heat), and low-oxygen levels (altitude)?
