concentric contractions
muscle shortens as it generates force to overcome gravity
average oxygen consumption at rest
3.5 ml/kg/mm
VO2 max =
max volume of oxygen the body can use
vo2 max represents?
highest level of oxygen consumption measured during maximal exercise text - expressed units of mg/kg/mm
vo2 max field tests
1 mile walk, 1.5 run, 12 min run
vo2 is a product of what 2 components?
Qx a-v o2 difference
bodies ability to utilize oxygen is based on?
hearts ability to pump blood, cells ability to remove oxygen
what carries blood
viens, arteries
a-v02 difference = ?
the difference in amount of oxygen between arteries and veins
coronary artery blockage is due to
plaque accumulation, plaque rupture, clot
what is CAD
coronary artery disease - buildup of fatty plaque inside coronary artery
blood flow through coronary arteries supplies?
heart (myocardium) with oxygen
4 types of cardiovascualr disease

leading cause of death in US
cardiovascualr disease - lifestyle related
motor related components
coordination, agility power, balance, speed, accuracy
health related components
dynamics strength, absolute strength, flexibility, body comp
cardiac output =?
heart rate x stroke volume – amount of blood pumped by heart per minute
does stroke volume increase with exercise
yes
does HR increase with exercise
yes
avg adult resting cardiac output =
5L per minute
most resting blood flow goes
to internal organs viscera
blood is shunted during exercise from
internal organs to skeletal muscles
physical fitness
ability to perform daily tasks with vigor and alertness without undue fatigue
stroke volume =
amount of blood pumped by heart per beat
