Cardiovascular, and Respiratory
Responses to exercises Exam
Energy - Answer -Energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Energy must
be converted to Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) be used by nerves, muscles, and other
cells.
Oxygen uptake - Answer -The rate at which oxygen is utilized during a specific level of
an activity.
Oxygen Deficit - Answer -The difference between the theoretical oxygen requirement of
a physical activity and the measured oxygen uptake.
steady state - Answer -The point during exercise at which oxygen uptake is unchanging
or changed very little.
Oxygen Debt or Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) - Answer -The
amount of oxygen used during recovery from work that exceeds the amount needed for
rest.
VO2max - Answer -The greatest rate of oxygen utilization attainable during heavy work.
Expressed in L-min-1 or ml-kg-1 -min-1
heart rate - Answer -The number of beats of the heart per minute
Stroke volume - Answer -The amount of blood pumped in one beat of the heart
cardiac output - Answer -The amount of blood circulated by the heart in one minute.
Formula expressed as. Heart Rate x stroke Volume =cardiac Output
Blood pressure - Answer -The pressure exerted by the blood on the vessel walls,
measured in milliliters of mercury by The sphygmomanometer.
pulmonary ventilation - Answer -The process of oxygenating the blood through the
lungs.
