Final Exam Flashcards
(54 cards)
Homeothermic
Internal body temp regulated despite enviormental temp. changes
Accilmation
Short therm 7-14 days
Hypothermia
warm up low and slow
Hyperthermia
body is overheating
cool down fast
Accilmization
takes longer almost a year
POAH
Bodies thermostat in brain
Anterior hypothatlamus
Sex differences in sweat glands
men and women
and more sweat per gland
women have more glands than men but they produce less sweat per gland
men have less glands but more sweat per gland
Treatment for hypothermia and hypothemia
warm them up low and slow
Partial Pressure of O2 will
decrease when getting to higher altitude
%O2 in the air when going to higher altitude will
stays the same
Barometric Pressure will
decrease when getting to a higher altitude
VO2 at altitude will…
Decrease within indiviudals VO2 and VO2max as we go higher in altitude
Drops 8-11% per 1,000 m ascent
Thinner air (at higher altitudes) =
less air resistance
making throwing a ball faster
Hematocrit changes
percentage of red blood cells compared to blood sample
women tend to have lower while men will have higher
When you go to higher altitude places your hemacrit will
will go up when there is a decrease in plasma volume when exposed to altitude
Q angle
women have an increased Q angle than men because they have a wider pelvis
Higher risk for athletes when there is jumping and landing with an increased Q angle
Weight bearing exercises/Resistance Training
maintains bone mineral density regardless of sex
tend to see women lose bone marrow density
but resistance training will slow that down
Women are at higher risk for
Osteopenia/osteoperosis
Trasngender U.S. hormone therapy
gender hormone therapy can change your performance
Seen over 2+ years
Mentstral Cycle causes
A change within womens hormones
Why are women under represented in research?
men have more stable hormones than women
Women have fluctuating hormones
Follicular Based Training
Is there merit within the research
More volume and intensity has been shown to be appropraite during the follicular phase of menstraul cycle
Researchers found better lean body mass gains in the increase of workouts during that follicular phase
Performance in women during menstral cycle
havent seen any changes in performance
Pregnancy also an expert talk on it
very under represented
avoid increasing intensity darastically and if you are increasing it increase it slowly
listen to body
stay active if can
Improvement risk of falling
benefits outweigh risk when exercise is properly conducted
