Term
Definition
Anticipatory rise in heart rate prior to exercise   The release of adrenalin prepares your body for the increased demands exercise will put on the body  
🗑
Increased heart rate   due to the rise in carbon dioxide picked up by the chemoreceptors.  
🗑
Increased cardiac output   exercise increases the demand for oxygen, so cardiac output also increases  
🗑
Cardiac output   stroke volume X heart rate (amount of blood pumped from the heart in 1 minute)  
🗑
Stroke volume   the amount of blood ejected by the heart per beat  
🗑
Heart rate   the number of times the heart beats per minute  
🗑
Increased blood pressure   exercise means more blood is pumped through the blood vessels  
🗑
Blood pressure   the pressure of the blood against the walls of your arteries  
🗑
Systolic (top number)   the pressure on your artery wall when the heart contracts  
🗑
Diastolic (bottom number)   the pressure on your artery when the heart relaxes  
🗑
What happens to blood flow during exercise   It is redirected from the digestive system (vasoconstriction) to the working muscles (vasodilation)  
🗑
Cardiac Hypertrophy   where the walls of the heart gets thicker, this increases the strength of its contractions  
🗑
Cardiac Hypertrophy means the heart can...   pump more blood per beat so can transport more oxygen to the working muscles  
🗑
Why does exercise lead to a decrease in resting heart rate?   Because the heart is bigger and can pump more blood per beat, the heart does not have to work as hard  
🗑
Exercise leads to a reduction in resting blood pressure, what does this reduce the risk of?   heart disease & stroke  
🗑
Exercise increases capillarisation, what does this lead to?   more oxygen & nutrients can be diffused into the blood from the alveoli and into the muscles  
🗑
Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS)   a heart condition that can cause sudden death.  
🗑
What is SADS usually caused by?   an irregular heart beat (cardiac arrythmia)  
🗑
Hypertension   high blood pressure (risk for heart disease & stroke)  
🗑
Hypotension   low blood pressure  
🗑
Hyperthermia   increase in core body temperature (can lead to heat stroke)  
🗑
Hypothermia   drop in core body temperature below 35C  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
