Chapter 7: The Cardiovascular System & its Control
Cardiac Output equals:
What is Heart Rate x Stroke Volume (HR x SV)?
If you are breathing into a spirometer normally, which lung volume is being recorded?
What is Tidal Volume?
What blood pressure increases proportionally as exercise intensity increases?
What is Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)?
Power has two compnents. What are they?
What are strength and speed?
If you head down to Montpetit gym, you can catch the Glennjamin on this cardio machine
What is an elliptical?
These vessels are primarily responsible for controlling vascular resistance:
What are arterioles?
During exercise, the Bohr effect comes into effect. What occurs during the Bohr effect?
What is the mean range for resting heart rate, and what can it be for elite athletes?
What is 60-80 bpm, and what is as low as 30 bpm?
This style of training induces many adaptations normally associated with endurance training, and has become increasingly popular due to being time-efficient:
What are HIIT workouts (High intensity interval training)
What is Prof. Kenny's go-to drink?
What is a Diet Coke? (Fridge Dart)
What percentage of whole blood does plasma make up?
What is 55%?
What does Dalton's Law explain?
The partial pressures of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide add up to atmospheric pressure
When going for a PR deadlift of 500 kilograms in 2016, Eddie Hall likely used this maneuver, which involves closing the glottis
What is the Valsalva maneuver?
What is at the basis of the principle of individuality:
Not all athletes are created equally, and genetics play a massive role in performance
This professor from Penn State: Him and Glenn have a love-hate relationship, but my man GK still uses his textbook:
Who is Larry Kenney?
To make it more difficult for smooth muscle cells to constrict in response to sympathetic stimulation, Endothelial cells release this:
What are endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs)?
Carbon dioxide is able to be transported through the blood thanks to this molecule:
As is commonly known, many elite endurance athletes train at high altitudes. What is occuring when exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia
there is a mismatch between ventilation and perfusion, resulting in lower hemoglobin O2 saturation at high intensities
What are overload and variability important for an exercising program?
What are:
- Overload provides the stimulus for improvement
- Variability ensures the stimulus stays effective over time
If you're ever in the housing market, what does Glenn recommend you do on your viewing? And why should you do this?
What is turn on all the sinks and showers?
What is to test the water pressure?
This mechanism explains how active skeletal muscle can receive increased blood flow during exercise even though sympathetic nervous system activity is elevated and causing widespread vasoconstriction elsewhere
What is functional sympatholysis
What is the name of the molecule in which carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin?
What is carbaminohemoglobin?
As Glenn Kenny recommends for out-of-shape individuals, don't get up off the couch and do the most extreme exercise you can do. This can lead to shortness of breath, chest tightening, or wheezing. What is this phenomenon referred to as?
What is Dyspnea?
This training method relies on alternating long periods of low‑intensity exercise with spontaneous bursts of higher‑intensity effort, and it improves both aerobic and anaerobic systems while also adding an element of unpredictability that enhances adaptation
What is Fartlek training?
What is wrong with Glenn's dog?
What is he has a leaky heart valve?
