31
Q

Gaseous exchange at the muscle: Where does carbon dioxide diffuse from and into?

A

From the muscle into the capillary

32
Q

Outline the functions of myoglobin

A

Stores O2
Found in the muscle
High affinity for oxygen

33
Q

Is more or less oxygen exhaled during exercise? Why?

A

Less
Because more is being used by the muscles

34
Q

Is more or less carbon dioxide exhaled during exercise? Why?

A

More
Because the muscles are producing more as a waste product

35
Q

Identify 3 features that assist gaseous exchange at the lungs

A

One cell thick walls
Large surface area
Narrow diameter

36
Q

Give 3 reasons why aerobic training improves the ability to transport oxygen

A

Increase % of alveoli used
Increased production of red blood cells
Increase myoglobin content in the muscle

37
Q

Where are nerve impulses sent to by receptors to control breathing rate?

A

Respiratory control centre in the medulla

38
Q

Where does the respiratory control centre send nerve impulses to control breathing rate?

A

The intercostal muscles and diaphragm

39
Q

Describe the role of the sympathetic nervous system

A

To allow the performer to recover after exercise

40
Q

What effect does the sympathetic nervous system have on heart rate

A

Increases it

41
Q

What effect does the parasympathetic nervous system have on heart rate?

A

Decreases it

42
Q

Define the term VO2 Max

A

The maximum amount of oxygen utilised by the body per minute

43
Q

Define the term lactate threshold

A

The point at which more lactic acid is produced than removed

44
Q

What does OBLA stand for?

A

Onset Blood Lactate Accumulation

45
Q

Define the term OBLA

A

The point at which lactic acid builds up in the blood and fatigue sets in

46
Q

Lactate threshold is a _____________ of VO2 Max

A

Percentage

47
Q

As VO2 Max increases, lactate threshold _________

A

Increases

48
Q

As VO2 Max increase, OBLA is _____________

A

Delayed

49
Q

Identify 3 adaptations to aerobic exercise

A

Cardiac hypertrophy
Increased percentage of alveoli used
Increased myoglobin content in the muscle
Increased mitochondrial density
Increased triglyceride stores

50
Q

How does cardiac hypertrophy benefit aerobic performance?

A

The performer has an increased stroke volume, increasing oxygen delivery

51
Q

Why does an increased % of alveoli usage improve aerobic performance?

A

There are more sites for diffusion in the lungs

52
Q

Why does increased myoglobin content benefit aerobic performance?

A

Allows the muscle to extract more O2 from the bloodstream

53
Q

How does an increased mitochondrial density benefit aerobic performance?

A

Allows the performer to resynthesise more ATP

54
Q

Why do increased triglyceride stores benefit aerobic performance?

A

Can be broken down to provide an aerobic energy source

55
Q

Why does hypertrophy of type 2b muscle fibres benefit anaerobic exercise?

A

They become thicker in diameter, which increases force of contraction

56
Q

Why does increased recruitment of motor units benefit anaerobic exercise?

A

Increases the overall force of contraction

57
Q

Why do increased stores of PC benefit anaerobic performance?

A

Allow the performer to use the ATP-PC system for longer
