(Depending on training status) Stroke Volume (SV) Amount of blood ejected from heart with each beat (ml/beat). Rest Exercise (max) Max occurs 80 – 90 110 – 200 (Depending on training status) 40-50% of VO2 max untrained Up to 60% VO2 max in athletes

Cardiac Output (CO) Amount of blood ejected from heart each min (L/min). Stroke Volume x Heart Rate Fick Equation: CO = VO2/(a - v O2) Rest: ~ 5 L/min Exercise: ~10 to 25 L/min Primary Determinant = Heart rate

Relation Between SV and CO Cardiac Output = SV x HR Rest: ~ 5.0 L/min Maximal Exercise: up to 30 L/min 60 80 100 120 140 160 Stroke Volume (ml/beat) 50 110 170 200 Heart Rate (bpm) 20 40 % of Maximal Oxygen Uptake 5 10 15 25 30 35 Cardiac Output (L/min)

Maximal Aerobic Power (VO2 max) Also known as oxygen consumption, oxygen uptake, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Greatest amount of O2 a person can use during physical exercise. Ability to take in, transport and deliver O2 to skeletal muscle for use by tissue. Expressed as liters (L) /min or ml/kg/min.

Assessing VO2 Direct Measure: Rearrange Fick Equation: VO2 = CO X (a - vO2) Indirect Measure: gas exchange at mouth: VO2 = VE X (FIO2 - FEO2) Rest: 0.20 to 0.35 L/min Maximal Exercise: 2 to 6 L/min

Importance of VO2 max An index of maximal cardiovascular and pulmonary function. Single most useful measurement to characterize the functional capacity of the oxygen transport system. Limiting factor in endurance performance

Determinants of VO2max Peripheral Factors Central Factors Muscle Blood Flow Capillary Density O2 Diffusion O2 Extraction Hb-O2 Affinity Muscle Fiber Profiles Cardiac Output Arterial Pressure Hemoglobin Ventilation O2 Diffusion Hb-O2 Affinity Alveolar Ventilation Perfusion ratio

Factors Affecting VO2max Intrinsic Genetic Gender Body Composition Muscle mass Age Pathologies Extrinsic Activity Levels Time of Day Sleep Deprivation Dietary Intake Nutritional Status Environment

Common Criteria Used to Document VO2 max Primary Criteria < 2.1 ml/kg/min increase with 2.5% grade increase often seen as a plateau in VO2 Secondary Criteria Blood lactate ≥ 8 mmol/L RER ≥ 1.10 in HR to 90% of age predicted RPE ≥ 17

Respiratory Exchange Ratio/Quotient Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER): ratio of CO2 expired/O2 consumed Measured by gases exchanged at the mouth. Respiratory Quotient (RQ): ratio of CO2 produced by cellular metabolism to O2 used by tissues Measurements are made at cellular level Useful indicator of type of substrate (fat vs. carbohydrate) being metabolized: Fat is the first fuel source used during exercise. As RQ/RER increases towards 1.0 the use of CHO as energy increases. RER/RQ typically ranges from .70 to 1.0+

Estimating Maximal Heart Rate OLD FORMULA: 220 – age NEW FORMULA: 208 - 0.7 X age New formula may be more accurate for older persons and is independent of gender and habitual physical activity Estimated maximal heart rate may be 5 to 10% (10 to 20 bpm) > or < actual value.

Terms and Concepts Associated with Exercise Rating of Perceived Exertion Training Heart Rate Energy Expenditure Thresholds and Exercise Domains O2 Deficit and Excess Post-Exercise O2 Consumption

Rating of Perceived Exertion: RPE/Borg Scale 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Very, very light Very light Fairly light Somewhat hard H ard Very hard Very, very hard Lactate Threshold 2.0 mM Lactate 2.5 mM Lactate 4 .0 mM Lactate

Approaches to Determining Training Heart Rate 60 to 90% of Maximal HR Max HR = 180 60% = 108 and 90% = 162 50 to 85% of Heart Rate Reserve Max HR = 180 and Resting HR = 70 HRR = 180 - 70 = 110 50% = 70 + 65 = 135; 85% = 94 + 70 = 164 Plot HR vs. O2 Uptake or Exercise Intensity

Heart Rate and VO2max % of Maximal Heart Rate % of VO2max 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 40 60 80 100 % of VO2max

Energy Expenditure MET: Energy cost as a multiple of resting metabolic rate 1 MET = energy cost at rest ~3.5 ml of O2/kg/min 3 MET = 10.5 ml of O2 /kg/min 6 MET = 21.0 ml of O2 /kg/min 1 L/min of O2 is ~ 5 kcal/L VO2 (L/min) ~ 5 kcal/L = kcal/min 1 MET = 0.0175 kcal/kg/min

Lactate/Lactic Acid A product of glycolysis formed from reduction of pyruvate in recycling of NAD or when insufficient O2 is available for pyruvate to enter the TCA cycle. Extent of lactate formation depends on availability of both pyruvate and NADH. Blood lactate at rest is about 0.8 to 1.5 mM, but during intense exercise can be in excess of 18 mM.

Lactate Threshold Intensity of exercise at which blood lactate concentration is 1 mM above baseline. Expressed as a function of VO2max, i.e., 65% of VO2max. Expressed as a function of velocity or power output, i.e., 150 W or 7.5 mph.

Lactate Threshold 1.0 mM above baseline

Blood Lactate as a Function of Training Blood Lactate (mM) 25 50 75 100 Percent of VO2max

Ventilatory Threshold Describes the point at which pulmonary ventilation increases disproportionately with oxygen consumption during graded exercise. At this exercise intensity, pulmonary ventilation no longer links tightly to oxygen demand at the cellular level.

Ventilatory Threshold By V Slope Method

Exercise Intensity Domains Moderate Exercise All work rates below LT Heavy Exercise: Lower boundary: Work rate at LT Upper boundary: highest work rate at which blood lactate can be stabilized (Maximum lactate steady state) Severe Exercise: Neither O2 or lactate can be stabilized

Lactate and Exercise Domains

Oxygen Deficit and Debt/EPOC O2 Deficit = difference between total O2 used during exercise and total that would have been used if steady state had been achieved immediately Excess Post-Exercise O2 Consumption (EPOC) or O2 debt = increased rate of O2 used during recovery period. The extra oxygen is used in the processes that restore the body to a resting state and adapt it to the exercise just performed.

Oxygen Deficit and Debt

EPOC or Recovery VO2 Fast component (Alactacid debt??) = when prior exercise was primarily aerobic; repaid within 30 to 90 sec; restoration of ATP and CP depleted during exercise. Slow component (Lactacid debt) = reflects strenuous exercise; may take up to several hours to repay; may represent re-conversion of lactate to glycogen.

Things to remember: Know the basic definitions & normal values Understand VO2 max Recognize differences in terms often used interchangeably Review energy systems for exercise Be familiar w/ terms & concepts associated w/ exercise
