Lets get cellular
100

Oxygenated blood enters this part of the heart 

what is the left atrium

100

Working in this zone primarily targets glycolysis and cannot be maintained for extended periods of time

what is zone 4 

100

Carbon dioxide rich blood is traveling via this type of blood vessels back to the heart

what are veins 

100

this equals end diastolic volume minus end systolic volume 

what is stroke volume 

100

this structure is the power house of the cell

what is the mitochondria 

200

Deoxygenated blood leaving the heart is heading towards this organ 

what are the lungs?

200

the higher this is the longer and more effectively can one use aerobic energy systems and is a great predictor of success in long distance events 

what is anaerobic threshold  

200

these vessels have the highest pressure and injury to those can lead to fatal injury 

what are arteries 

200

This is the product of stroke volume and heart rate 

what is cardiac output

200

this energy system is located in the mitochondrial matrix and produces two ATP, six NADH2, two FADH2two QH2(ubiquinol) and four CO2 per one molecule of Glucose and really likes to go around in a circle 

What is the Krebs cycle

300

the size of this chamber increases following cardiovascular training.

What is the left ventricle 

300

this unit measures the volume of carbon dioxide expelled divided by the volume of Oxygen consumed 

what is RQ

300

this blood vessel receives oxygen rich blood straight from the heart 

what is the Aorta 

300

these units are used to measure relative Vo2max 

what is ml/kg/min

300

Following endurance training increases in this type of muscle fibers are likely to occur

what are type one muscle fibers / slow twitch

400

one of the adaptations to resistance training is increased thickness of this layer surrounding the different chambers of the heart

What is the Myocardium 

400

this is the RQ value when 50% of energy is produced via fat and 50% is produced via sugar 

what is .85 

400

the higher this is the harder the left ventricle need to work in order to eject blood towards the systemic circulation 

what is blood pressure 

400

This equation is the product of cardiac output and AVo2 difference and is used to calculate Vo2Max

What is the Fick equation

400

one of the cellular adaptations seen due to cardiovascular training is an increase number of this structure where aerobic energy systems are located

what are mitochondria

500

this area of the heart in known as the "pace maker" 

What is the sinoatrial node

500

the biggest contributor to increases in overall capacity, cardiac output and ultimately VO2max following zone training is due the increases in this factor measuring the amount of blood ejected from the heart 

What is stroke volume 

500

increases in branching of this type of vessels as a result of cardiovascular training promotes increase oxygen delivery to various tissues. 

What are Capillaries 

500

This unit is the result of dividing Stroke volume by end diastolic volume and is a measure commonly used in cardiac rehab or when estimating the risk of heart failure 

what is ejection fraction

500

this is the amount of ATP produced by the ETC not including Gylcolysis and the Krebs Cycle

What is 34
