Definitions to be learn

• aerobic physical activity: activity in which the body’s large muscles

move in a rhythmic manner for a sustained period of time.

Aerobic activity, also called endurance activity, improves cardiorespiratory fitness. Brisk walking, running, swimming, and bicycling are examples.

Page 4: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• moderate-intensity physical activity:

physical activity that requires some increase in breathing and/or heart rate and expends 3.5 to 7 kcalories per minute. Walking at a speed of 3 to 4.5 miles per hour (about 15 to 20 minutes to walk one mile) is an example.

Page 5: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• vigorous-intensity physical activity: physical activity that requires a large increase in breathing and/or heart rate and expends more than 7 kcalories per minute.

• Walking at a very brisk pace (>4.5 miles per hour) or running at a pace of at least 5 miles per hour are examples.

Page 6: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

The Cardiovascular System and Exercise

• The heart is a muscle that is required to contract continuously throughout the life to deliver oxygen to all organs in the body and breathe out carbon dioxide

• Blood vessels connect the heart and lungs so that carbon dioxide can be removed from the blood and oxygen can be added to the blood.

• The heart then pumps this blood throughout the body.

Page 7: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Exercise places an increased demand on the cardiovascular system to pump more oxygen to supply the working muscle to produce energy (aerobic oxidation).

• Oxygen demand by the muscles increases, more nutrients are needed and more waste is created.

Functions of The Cardiovascular System during exercise

The cardiovascular system serves five important functions during exercise:

• 1- Delivers oxygen to working muscles2- Deoxygenates blood by returning it to the lungs3- Transports heat from the center to the skin4- Delivers nutrients and fuel to active tissues5- Transports hormones

Page 10: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Response and Adaptation of the Cardiovascular System to Exercise

• 1-Heart rate• 2-Stroke volume• 3-Cardiac output• 4-Blood flow• 5-Blood pressure• 6-Blood

Page 11: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

1-Heart Rate

• Heart RateResting heart rate averages 60 to 80 beats/min in healthy adults.

• In sedentary, middle aged individuals it may be as high as 100 beats/min.

• In elite endurance athletes heart rates as low as 28 to 40 beats/min

Page 12: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Anticipatory response

• Anticipatory response (increased heart rate before exercise) Caused by the release of epinephrine

• Before exercise even begins heart rate increases in anticipation (expectation). This is known as the anticipatory response.

• It is mediated through the releases of neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline (adrenal gland)

Page 13: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

2-Stroke volume

• Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected per beat from left ventricle and measured in ml/beat.

• Stroke volume increases proportionally with

exercise intensity.

• In untrained individuals stroke volume at rest it averages 50-70ml/beat

Page 14: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• during intense, physical activity stroke volume increasing up to 110-130ml/beat

• In elite athletes resting stroke volume averages 90-110 ml/beat increasing to as much as 150-220ml/beat .

Page 15: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

3-Cardiac output

• Cardiac OutputCardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 minute measured in L/min.

• It is a product of; stroke volume and heart rate (SV x HR).

• If either heart rate or stroke volume increase, or both, cardiac output increases also.

Page 16: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Cardiac Output remains relatively unchanged or decreases only slightly following endurance training.

• During maximal exercise on the other hand, cardiac output increases significantly. This is a result of an increase in maximal stoke volume as maximal heart rate remains unchanged with training.

Page 17: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

4-Blood flow

The vascular system can redistribute blood to those tissues with the greatest immediate demand for energy such as muscles (Skeletal muscle receives a greater blood supply)

• At rest 15-20% of circulating blood supplies skeletal muscle.

• During vigorous exercise this increases to 80-85% of cardiac output.

Page 18: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

5-Blood Pressure

• Blood PressureAt rest, a typical systolic blood pressure in a healthy individual ranges from 110-140mmHg and 60-90mmHg for diastolic blood pressure.

• During exercise systolic pressure, the pressure during contraction of the heart (known as systole) can increase to over 200mmHg and in highly trained, healthy athletes.

Page 19: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Cardio-respiratory endurance

• “Cardio respiratory endurance is the ability of the body’s circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during sustained physical activity”

• Cardio-respiratory endurance; is the amount of oxygen individuals are able to take in and oxidized it for energy production to be used for working muscles.

Page 20: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• the most important benefit to increases cardio respiratory endurance is an increased VO2max which is the body’s ability to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells, lead to;.

• Lower risk of heart disease• Reduced Risks of type 2 diabetes • Lower Blood pressure

Page 21: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Aerobic capacity and Cardiorespiratory system

• Aerobic capacity is defined as “the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during a specified period, usually during intense exercise”. This is the function of Cardiorespiratory system include the heart, lungs and blood vessels;-

• 1-cardiorespiratory performance • 2-the maximum ability to remove and utilize

oxygen from circulating blood..

Page 22: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Cardiorespiratory;- &Type of Activity Aerobic activity that uses large muscle groups and can be maintained continuously. 5 to 7 days per week. Intensity Moderate (equivalent to walking at a pace or speed of 3 to 4 miles per hour). Duration At least 30 minutes. running, cycling, swimming, inline skating, rowing, power walking, skiing, kickboxing, jumping rope; sports activities such as basketball, soccer, racquetball, tennis, volleyball

Page 23: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Cardio-respiratory and aerobic physical activity

• aerobic physical activity:

Aerobic activity, also called endurance activity, improves cardio-respiratory fitness.

• Quick walking, running, swimming, and bicycling are examples.

Page 24: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Cardio-respiratory and moderate-intensity physical activity:

• moderate-intensity physical activity: physical activity that requires some increase in breathing and/or heart rate and expends 3.5 to 7 kcalories per minute.

• Walking at a speed of 3 to 4.5 miles per hour (about 15 to 20 minutes to walk one mile) is an example.

Page 25: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Cardio-respiratory and vigorous-intensity physical activity

• vigorous-intensity physical activity: physical activity that requires a large increase in breathing and/or heart rate and expends more than 7 kcalories per minute.

• Walking at a very fast pace (>4.5 miles per hour) or running at a pace of at least 5 miles per hour are as example

Page 26: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Measurement of Cardio-respiratory endurance(maximal aerobic capacity)

• To measure maximal aerobic capacity,

an exercise physiologist or physician use a VO2 max test,

• The individual is typically connected to a respirometer to measure oxygen consumption

• The higher the measured cardiorespiratory endurance level, the more oxygen has been transported to and used by exercising muscles

• the higher the aerobic capacity, the higher the level of aerobic fitness.

Page 27: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

The higher the measured cardiorespiratory endurance level, the more oxygen has been transported to and used by exercising muscles, and the higher the level of intensity at which the individual can exercise

Page 28: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

The cardiorespiratory system responds to the muscles’ demand for oxygen by building up its capacity to deliver oxygen. Researchers can measure cardiorespiratory fitness by measuring the maximum amount of oxygen a person consumes per minute while working out, a measure called VO2max

Page 29: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Maximum oxygen consumption

• An important measure of sports fitness is aerobic capacity or VO2 max, which is the amount of oxygen your body can consume and turn into energy.

• Maximum oxygen consumption;-VO2 is the Ability to Deliver and Use Oxygen

• As work rate is increased, oxygen uptake increases linearly, No further increase in VO2 with increasing work rate

Page 30: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• there is an upper limit to oxygen uptake and, therefore, above a certain work rate oxygen consumption reaches a maximum. This is termed the maximal oxygen uptake.

• Physiological factors influencing VO2max

–Ability of cardio-respiratory system to deliver oxygen to muscles

–Ability of muscles to use oxygen and produce ATP aerobically

Page 31: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Oxygen carrying capacity of the blood

• Energy production through Kerbs cycle or mitochondrial respiration depend on continuous supply of oxygen.

• Enhanced oxygen delivery and utilization during exercise will improve mitochondrial respiration and subsequently the capacity for endurance exercise

Page 32: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• A reduction in the oxygen carrying capacity in conditions such as anaemia produces fatigue and shortness of breath and affect performance.

Page 33: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Respiratory Quotient (RQ)

• respiratory quotient-is the ratio of carbon dioxide expired/moles of oxygen consumed

• The respiratory quotient (or RQ or respiratory coefficient), measured by indirect calorimeter using respirometer

• The respiratory quotient (RQ) is calculated from the ratio:

• RQ = CO2 expired / O2 consumed

Page 34: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• The ratio between CO2 / O2 is known as the respiratory exchange ratio (RER).

Dr. Siham Gritly

The benefits of cardio-respiratory to exercise

The benefits of cardio-respiratory, (aerobic, exercise) include:

1- A stronger heart and lower resting heart rate.

2- Fitness and performance benefits, such as increased aerobic capacity and muscle endurance.

Page 37: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

3- maintenance of a healthy body weight and body fat percentage

4- management of stress, and decreased blood cholesterol and fat (triglycerides) levels

5-Increased performance in physically- jobs such as lift-and-carries.

Page 38: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

6- Increased muscle tone (quality) and enhanced physical appearance

7- low-resistance exercises (e.g., biking) train the heart and muscles to use oxygen more efficiently.

Diseases of Cardio-vascular system and exercise

• examples• 1-Blood Pressure (hypertension)

2-Coronary Heart Diseases (CHD)

Page 40: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

1-Blood Pressure (hypertension)

• hypertension: higher-than-normal blood pressure. Two types;

• Essential or primary hypertension; Hypertension that develops without an identifiable cause

• Secondary hypertension; hypertension that is caused by a specific disorder such as kidney disease

Page 41: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• The high blood pressure is above normal, the risk of death from CVD.

• Low blood pressure, on the other hand, is generally a sign of long life expectancy and low heart disease risk.

• The high blood pressure contributes to more than a million heart attacks and half a million strokes each year.

Page 42: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Arterial Blood Pressure Expressed as systolic/diastolic

• The Cardiac Cycle or Arterial Blood Pressure : includes all of the events between two consecutive cycles;-

1 -Systole: contraction phase;-systolic pressure- the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart is contracting and pumping blood (the pressure at which a sound of heart beat heard)

2 -Diastole: relaxation phase;-diastolic pressure- the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats (the pressure at which the sound disappears)

Page 43: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

if the resting blood pressure is above normal, the reading should be repeated before confirming the diagnosis of hypertension

Page 44: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Classification of blood pressure for adults (WHO)

Page 45: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

How Exercise Lowers Diastolic Blood Pressure

• Aerobic exercise, like running, walking, swimming, and using cardio machines, has a positive impact on diastolic blood pressure.

• Oxidation of fat for energy decrease fat body mainly cholesterol (LDL) which will lower blood pressure.

• Releasing water and salt through sweating might reduces blood pressure.

Page 46: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Dietary Strategies;- Hypertension & CHD

• The following dietary plans based on;-

• USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)

• the American Heart Association Dietary Strategies to Stop Hypertension (DASH) ,

Page 47: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

Dietary Strategies to Stop Hypertension (DASH)

• The Dietary Strategies to Stop Hypertension (DASH) recommended that;-

• diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and low-fat milk products and low in total fat and saturated fat have positive effect on blood pressure.

Page 48: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• the DASH diet lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

• Compared to the typical American diet, the DASH eating plan provides more fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium and less red meat, sweets, and sugar-containing beverages

Page 50: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• These diet plans are based on 2000 kcalories per day. Both DASH and the USDA Food Guide recommend that fats and sugars be used sparingly (carefully) and with discretion (caution)

Page 51: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Salt/Sodium Intake control;

• The combination of the DASH diet with a limited intake of sodium, however, improves blood pressure better than either strategy

• the lower the sodium intake, the greater the drop in blood pressure.

• Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended no more than 1500 mg of sodium per day and to meet the potassium recommendation

Page 52: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Weight Control to reduce high blood pressure

• Weight loss alone is one of the most effective nondrug treatments for hypertension.

• Those who are using drugs to control their blood pressure can often reduce or discontinue the drugs when they lose weight. Even a modest weight loss of 10 pounds can lower blood pressure.

Page 53: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Physical Activity• Physical activity helps with weight control, but

moderate aerobic activity, such as 30 to 60 minutes of brisk walking most days, also helps to lower blood pressure directly.

• Those who engage in regular aerobic activity may not need medication for mild hypertension.

2-Cardiovascular Disease (atherosclerosis)

• Cardiovascular Disease• The major causes of death ,are diseases of the heart

and blood vessels, collectively known as cardiovascular disease (CVD).

• Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common form of cardiovascular disease and is usually caused by atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

• Atherosclerosis is the accumulation of lipids and other materials in the arteries

Page 56: 6 response of the cardiovascular system to exercise

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Atherosclerosis : a type of artery disease characterized by plaques (accumulations of lipid-containing material) on the inner walls of the arteries

Dr. Siham Gritly

• Anaerobic exercise is short-lasting, high-intensity activity, where your body’s demand for oxygen exceeds the oxygen supply available.

• Examples of anaerobic exercise include: heavy weight-lifting, all types of sprints (running, biking, etc.), jumping rope, hill climbing, interval training, isometrics, or any rapid burst of hard exercise.

• Anaerobic exercise relies on energy sources that are stored in the muscles and, unlike aerobic exercise, is not dependent on oxygen from (breathing) the air.
