Q

4 ways heat is transferred

A
  1. radiation: radiated from a hot object to cooler object
  2. conduction: direct contact with something
  3. convection: air or water moves across our skin to make us feel warmer or cooler
  4. evaporation: sweating which makes the skin feel cooler as the process is occurring

Q

strategy for acclimatization

A
  • spend more than 14 days exercising in the heat
  • options are to do less than 50% VO2 max for 90-100 min a day OR up to 70% VO2 max for 50-60 min a day

Q

what are some early adaptations to acclimatization (6)

A
  • improved cardiovascular function
  • expanded plasma volume
  • ADH: retain body water
  • aldosterone: retain salt
  • decrease heart rate
  • redirection of cardiac output to skin and muscle

Q

phases of integrated regulation during exercise

A

PHASE 1: stimuli from cortex increases respiration
PHASE 2: after 20 seconds ventilation increases to reach steady state
PHASE 3: fine tuning of steady state ventilation through peripheral sensory feedback mechanisms

Q

cardiovascular system response to exercise in the cold

Study These Flashcards
A

cutaneous blood vessels constrict, this retains heat in the body and maintains central blood volume and pressure

21
Q

what is shivering

Study These Flashcards
A

rapid oscillation which is used to produce heat
we can produce 100 watts of heat at rest to maintain internal temperature

22
Q

Dr G has ___ numb fingertips from non freezing cold injury

23
Q

Health risks from the cold

Study These Flashcards
A
  • frostbite
  • hypothermia
  • non-freezing cold injury
24
Q

key to cold performance

Study These Flashcards
A

gradual, increased exposure and insulation

25
cold induced vasodilation
increases in temperature and periodic warming of the fingers is because the body will vasodilate to hopefully prevent the loss of the fingers
26
habituation
decreased response to repeated stimulus, less vasoconstriction, more blood flow/heat delivery to peripheral tissues
27
exercising at altitude depends mostly on
improving blood oxygenation preventing hypoxia-related mountain illnesses
28
hypoxia
low oxygen in the blood
29
nervous system response to exercising at altitude
sends efferent messages that maintain/alter blood gas and acid-base balance
30
endocrine system response to exercising at altitude
fluid-electrolyte hormones retain water and NaCl via the kidneys to offset dehydration
31
respiratory system response to exercising at altitude
VO2 max decreases
32
cardiovascular system response to exercising at altitude
oxygen carrying capacity of the blood increases, cardiac muscle mass increases, chemoreceptor sensitivity increases
33
muscular system response to exercising at altitude
respiratory muscles adapt to hypobaria, myoglobin levels in muscle increase
34
urinary system response to exercising at altitude
kidneys retain water and NaCl to offset dehydration
35
skeletal system response to exercising at altitude
red blood cell production increases in bone marrow
36
medical conditions associated with altitude
- acute mountain sickness - high altitude cerebral edema - high altitude pulmonary edema - high altitude flatus explusion
37
strategies to perform at altitude
- train at altitude - train low, sleep high - climb high, sleep low
38
exercise at depth depends on
filling lung with air preventing hypobaric injury
39
endocrine system response to exercise in hyperbaria
conserve the freaking water ->ALWAYs
40
cardiovascular system response to exercise in hyperbaria
pressure and volume receptors respond to underwater depths by altering blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output
41
urinary system response to exercise in hyperbaria
kidneys are involved in fluid-electrolyte homeostasis
42
breathing is stimulated by high ______ not low _____
blood CO2 & blood O2
43
hyperventilation decreases blood ____
CO2
44
what is decompression sickness
occurs from rapid ascent when nitrogen does not have time to be expired from lungs and instead is dissolved into blood
45
how to train in heat
establish high level of aerobic fitness, acclimatize, HYDRATE
46
how to train in cold
habituate (gradual increase), build up insulation (swimming), mission specific clothing
47
how to train for altitude
gradual acclimatization, climb high, sleep low, progression
48
Rule of 5s (6 points)
- total lung capacity 5L (male) - total blood volume 5L (male) - resting cardiac output 5L/min (male) - resting a-vo2 difference 5ml O2/100 ml blood - difference between FIO2 and FEO2 air at rest 0.5 of 5% - caloric equivalent for oxygen 5 kcal/L O2
