What does the cardiovascular system do?

Distributes oxygen to working muscles, removes carbon dioxide & other wastes, helps body with thermoregulation.

Exercise? Remove? Temp?

How many beats per minute does the heart pump per minute? (BPM)

72 BPM at rest.

What is Q = SV X HR?

Q= cardiac output


Stroke Volume x Heart Rate

What is VO2max?

Cardiorespiratory capacity:



The maximum amount of oxygen the body can extract & use in the process of energy production.

What does VO2max depend on?

Ability to ventilate lungs, ease of oxygen from lungs - blood, capacity of blood to carry oxygen, ability of heart to pump blood (cardiac output) & distribute to working muscles, ability of muscles to extract & use oxygen delivered.

How is VO2max measured?

Maximum volume of oxygen per minute in litres or relative to body mass (ml per kg per min.)

Definition of Cardiorespiratory Fitness?

The efficiency of the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems at delivering and extracting oxygen for energy production and mechanical muscle work.

What else is VO2max known as?

Maximal Oxygen Uptake

What is systolic pressure?

Top number.


Pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart contracts


(Peak pressure in the system.)

What is Diastolic pressure?

Bottom Number:


The pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart relaxes & fills again.


(Lowest pressure in the arteries.)

What is EPOC?

Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption


The process by which the body continues to take in extra oxygen post exercise.


To recover cell & repay oxygen deficit that occurred whilst active.

Litres of oxygen per min used in first few minutes of exercise?

At rest (0 minutes): 10L/min


After 1 minutes: 45L/min


After 2 minutes: 60L/min

Greater delivery of oxygen & nutrients


Increased blood delivery.


Greater capacity for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Improvements of Extraction of Oxygen (peripheral)

Increased capillary density.


Increased size & number of mitochondria.


Increased aerobic enzymes.

Benefits of oxygen extraction

Provides more vessels for efficient nutrient delivery & waste removal.


Improved aerobic production of ATP.


Enhanced ability to use oxygen.

* Reduce intensity & impact


* Reduce ROM of movements


* Direct clients to consciously start active recovery

Elements of mindset

Social Health


Mental Health


Emotional Health

What are the 3 types of joints?

Fibrous, Cartilaginous & Synovial

What is a Fibrous joint?

Connect bones to one another.


Little or no movement.


I.e. long bones - radius/ulna

What is a cartilaginous joint?

Bones are separated by cartilage.


Little or no movement.


Found where body needs protection, stability & strength.


I.e. between ribs & sternum


Between the vertebrae

What are Synovial joints?

Allow much more movement.


Enclosed by capsule with synovial fluid.


Hinge, condyloid & ball & socket joints


Six types in all.

What are the 4 characteristics of muscle fibers?

Excitability


Contractility


Extensibility


Elasticity

What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?

Skeletal muscle


Cardiac muscle


Smooth muscle

About skeletal muscle...

Typically connected to skeletal system


Attaches 2 bones across a joint


Produces force required for human movement.


Very controlled - each muscle cell stimulated separately.

About Cardiac muscle

Interconnected - when one cell is stimulated to contract, they all contract in a predictable sequence.

About Smooth muscle...

Found in the hollow organs of the digestive urinary and circulatory systems.


Work together or independently.


Do not generate much force.

3 types of muscle contractions?

Isotonic - Concentric = Shortens


Isotonic - Eccentric = Lengthens


Isometric = Static Contraction

What does PAR-Q stand for?

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone

9 CanFitPro Principles

1. F.I.T.T


2. Individualisation


3. Specificity


4. (Progressive Overload)


5. Recovery (mandatory)


6. Structural Tolerance (strengthening ligaments, tissue & fascia)


7. (All round development)


8. Reversibility (pre training state)


9. Maintenance (easier to maintain once reached)

Functions of skeleton

Supports weight of body/upright


Allows movement


Protects organs & soft tissue


Mineral Deposit - stores & maintains mineral balance in the blood


Blood cell formation


Energy reservoir (fat in bone marrow & adipose tissue)

What is energy?

The ability to do work.

What is metabolism?

The sum of all chemical reactions in the body that use or create energy.

The ATP-CP (phosphagen) system produces how many ATP per molecule of creatine phosphate?

One molecule. (10-20 seconds)

The anaerobic (glycolytic) system produces how many ATP molecules?

Two to three molecules.


(20 secs - 2mins at max intensity)

How many ATP molecules are created through the Aerobic (Glycolytic) System?

Up to 38 ATP


(Chain reaction - glycolysis, Krebs cycle & electron transport chain)


2mins +

Fatty Acid Oxidation energy system?

Aerobic metabolism of fat produces 100+ ATP.


Harder to metabolise because they require a large amount of oxygen for this reaction.

What is mitochondria?

Cellular structures with specialized enzymes to assist in aerobic metabolism.


They use glucose or fat for fuel to create ATP.

What is the Lactate Threshold?

The LT is the point at which the aerobic system cannot supply enough ATP for the needs of the body.


Leads to muscle fatigue, discomfort and possibly failure. (85-90% max HR)


(Depends on fitness levels.)

What is SV?

Stroke Volume = Amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle per beat.

What is RPE?

Rate of Perceived Exhaustion

Examples of Short Bones

Carpals, tarsals

Examples of Long Bones

Femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, radius, ulna

Examples of Flat Bones

Scapula, ribs, ilium (pelvic crest)

Examples of Irregular Bones

Vertebrae, patella, ischium, pubis

What is a ligament?

Fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones.

What are the three types of muscle tissue?

1. Skeletal


2. Cardiac


3. Smooth

About Skeletal Muscles...

Attaching two bones across a joint.


Voluntary - can be controlled.


Produce force along the length of the cell.


Usually connected to skeleton.


Focus on these with resistance training.

About Cardiac Muscle...

Make up the walls of the heart.


Involuntary - cannot be controlled.


Strengthened with cardio training.

About Smooth muscle...

Irregularly shaped/random pattern.


Makeup the walls of hollow organs (stomach, intestines bladder and blood vessels).


Involuntary - cannot be controlled.


Do not create much force.

Significance of the core...

Spans from rib cage and diaphragm to pelvis.


Muscles that act as stabilisers and mobilisers.


Provides arms and legs with a solid anchor to produce force and movement.

What muscles are usually tight in people with anterior tilt?

Erector spinae, iliopsoas and rectus femoris

Rotator cuff acronym SITS

Supraspinatus


Infraspinatus


Teres minor


Subscapularis

Define flexibility...

Range of motion (ROM) of joints and myofascia.


Relates to the mobility and function of each joint.


Assists the body and adapting to physical changes.

Benefits of flexibility training...

Improve posture.


Improve blood flow.


Improve ability to recover from training.


Improve ROM, overall mobility & strength.


Improve ability of muscles and connective tissues to lengthen.


Decrease the formation of trigger points within muscle tissue.

How can flexibility training strengthen weak muscles?

When a muscle is over activated it can inhibit its antagonist muscle.


By stretching the tight muscle it's weak antagonist will be able to contract with more strength and power.

More on flexibility...

Enhances performance in sports, aerobic training & muscular conditioning.


Reduced likelihood of injury.


Is an active form of relaxation which can improve mental and physical recovery.

What are factors relating to muscle strength?

Muscle size - bigger has more force


Muscle length - greatest force at resting bc Myosin/Actin are side by side & cross-bridges are exposed.


Speed of contraction - concentric = slower contractions & eccentric = greater force with fast movements.


Neural control - More, bigger motor units firing faster = most force.
