Q

how does HR, SV cardiac output(Q) compare during submaximal exercise in trained vs. untrained vs. Heart Failure(HF) individuals?

A

↓(lower) HR in T

↑(higher) SV is in T

Q is the same in T,UT, and HF people

Q

what is a major adaptation of endurance training during submaximal exercise

A

Better myocardial O2 (ATP) supply

Less ATP demand, meaning reduced myocardial O2 use (VO2)

Q

During maximal exercise how does training increase VO2max in regards to Q

A

During maximal exercise, training increases VO2 max by increasing Qmax

this is because the higher SV means that there is greater HR reserve to call upon at maximal exercise

Q

what is the only way to increase Q in a patient with heart failure

A

In a patient with heart failure, SV cannot increase, so HR is the only way to increase Q →

large increase in cardiac work at a low workload

Q

how are Cardiac work and ATP demand of the heart are estimated in a clinical setting

A

by the “rate pressure product”

Cardiac work and ATP demand of the heart are estimated in a clinical setting by the
“rate pressure product”

Q

what are the Effects of Chronic Exercise Training on Left Ventricular Dimensions for ENDURANCE ATHLETES

A

Modest thickening of LV

LV dilation (bigger chamber, lengthening cells)

“Volume” overload → eccentric hypertrophy

Q

what are the Effects of Chronic Exercise Training on Left Ventricular Dimensions for STRENGTH ATHLETES

A

Thickening of LV walls

no LV dilation (no change in chamber, thicker cells)

“Pressure” overload → concentric hypertrophy

Q

what can Chronic pressure overload (hypertension) lead to

A

initial concentric hypertrophy leads to:

dilated cardiomyopathy (dilation (enlargement) of the heart chambers)

heart failure

LV wall thinning

Q

what is the result of Chronic pressure overload (hypertension)

Q

what are differences between Athletes heart and Failing Heart

A

Athlete:
normal/increasesd cardiac function
reversible

Failing Heart:
↓ cardiac function
irreversible
cell death/fibrosis
increased mortality

17
Q

how does Exercise Training Protects the Heart:

Hint: 3 reasons

A

Improved blood flow distribution to cells (training-induced cardiac angiogenesis)

Increased synthesis of “stress” proteins, which refold damaged proteins brought about by ischemia

Training induced increases in the heart’s antioxidant capacity; the ability to remove free radical molecules or reactive O2 species, which damage protein lipids and DNA

18
Q

Fick equation:

A

VO2 = Q x (a-v)O2

O2 going into the muscle, and O2 coming out of the muscle (difference between this)

ex:
20 is the arterial O2 content vols % (going in)
15 is the venous O2 content vols % (untrained) (going out)

Difference of 5

page 155 look at equation

19
Q

how Training lead to an improvement in O2 extraction in regards to the fick equation

A

increased difference in (a-v)O2 because:

increased mitochondria content
increased capillary:fibre ratio (angiogenesis)

20
Q

VO2 max goes up with training due to …..

A

an increase in cardiac output (Q) and an increase in (a-v)O2

21
Q

what is angiogenesis

A

Angiogenesis is the physiological process through which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing blood vessels.

22
Q

Newly formed capillaries improve….

A

flow distribution to individual fibres (increase
capillary:fibre ratio)

23
Q

↑ capillary:fibre ratio →

A

Shorter diffusion distance

24
Q

How does exercise-induced angiogenesis occur

A

Exercise →

an increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in muscle fibres →

Secretion into ECF →

Binds to VEGF-R on endothelial cells (receptor) →

Proliferation and migration of EC to form new capillaries

25
Q

what is is required for exercise training induced skeletal muscle angiogenesis

A

Muscle cell-derived VEGF

26
Q

Without VEG-F….

A

few capillaries around fibres

nothing happens with exercise (could not improve in absence of VEG-F)
