What is the equation for determining cardiac output? - ANSWER -
CO=SVxHR
What happens to stroke volume during moderate exercise? - ANSWER -
increases early and rises until it plateaus
What happens to HR during exercise? - ANSWER - intensifies to
maximal levels before exhaustion
What are the benefits of better cardiac output? - ANSWER - - means that
heart will beat fewer times ( more rest for heart\n- able to deliver more
