What is steady state?

200

The amount of blood pumped out of the heart each beat.

What is stroke volume?

200

How many breaths you take per minute.

What is respiratory rate?

200

Heart rate does this during submaximal exercise before leveling off.

What is increases?

300

Heart rate × stroke volume = this.

What is cardiac output?

300

Tidal volume × respiratory rate = this.

What is ventilation?

300

Stroke volume stops increasing at about this % of VO₂ max.

What is 40–60%?

400

This blood pressure number rises the most during exercise.

What is systolic blood pressure?

400

The biggest breath you can blow out after a deep inhale.

What is vital capacity?

400

At the start of exercise, oxygen use rises quickly because of this.

What is oxygen deficit?

500

During hard exercise, this heart measure keeps rising even when stroke volume stops.

What is heart rate?

500

The movement of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out.

What is gas exchange?

500

Stroke volume stops rising at high intensity because there is less time for this.
