  1. Chapter 9:Circulatory Adaptations to Exercise EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY Theory and Application to Fitness and Performance, 6th edition Scott K. Powers & Edward T. Howley

  2. Introduction • One major challenge to homeostasis posed by exercise is the increased muscular demand for oxygen • During heavy exercise, oxygen demands may  by 15 to 25 times • Two major adjustments of blood flow are; •  cardiac output • Redistribution of blood flow • A thorough understanding of the cardiovascular system is essential to exercise physiology

  3. Objectives • Give an overview of the design and function of the circulatory system • Describe cardiac cycle & associated electrical activity recorded via electrocardiogram • Discuss the pattern of redistribution of blood flow during exercise • Outline the circulatory responses to various types of exercise

  4. Objectives • Identify the factors that regulate local blood flow during exercise • List & discuss those factors responsible for regulation of stroke volume during exercise • Discuss the regulation of cardiac output during exercise

  5. The Cardiovascular System Purposes 1. 2. 3.

  6. The Circulatory System • Heart • Pumps blood • Arteries and arterioles • Carry blood ________ from the heart • Capillaries • Exchange of __________ with tissues • Veins and venules • Carry blood __________ the heart

  7. Structure of the Heart Fig 9.1

  8. Systemic circuit ________ side of the heart Pumps _________ blood to the whole body via arteries Returns ____________ blood to the right heart via veins Pulmonary circuit ________ side of the heart Pumps __________ blood to the ______ via pulmonary arteries Returns ___________ blood to the ________ heart via pulmonary veins Pulmonary and Systemic Circuits

  9. The Myocardium Fig 9.3

  10. Systole ___________ phase Diastole _________ phase The Cardiac Cycle Fig 9.5

  11. Arterial Blood Pressure • Expressed as systolic/diastolic • Normal is 120/80 mmHg • High is 140/90 mmHg • Systolic pressure (top number) • Pressure generated during ________________ (systole) • Diastolic pressure • Pressure in the arteries during _____________ (diastole)

  12. Blood Pressure • ________________ • Difference between systolic and diastolic • ________________________ (MAP) • Average pressure in the arteries Pulse Pressure = Systolic - Diastolic MAP = _______________________

  13. Mean Arterial Pressure Blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg MAP =

  14. Measurement of Blood Pressure Fig 9.7

  15. Factors That Influence Arterial Blood Pressure Fig 9.8

  16. How is Blood Pressure Regulated? • Acute regulation • Achieved by _____________________ • Long term regulation • Function of the ___________________ • They do so by control of ____________________

  17. Electrical Activity of the Heart • Contraction of the heart depends on electrical stimulation of the myocardium • Impulse is initiated in the __________ and spreads throughout entire heart • May be recorded on an __________________ (ECG)

  18. Conduction System of the Heart ___________________ Fig 9.9

  19. ________________ The amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute • Product of _________________ • ______ = number of beats per minute • ______ = amount of blood ejected in each beat Q = _________

  20. Regulation of Heart Rate • 2 prominent factors that influence HR • Decrease in HR 1. _____________________ • Via ______________ • Slows HR by inhibiting _________ • Increase in HR 2. _____________________ • Via cardiac ______________ • Increases HR by stimulating ________

  21. Regulation of Stroke Volume • SV at rest or during exercise is regulated by 3 variables 1. __________________ (EDV) • Volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole (“preload”) 2. __________________ • Pressure the heart must pump against to eject blood (“afterload”) 3. _________ of the ventricular contraction • “Contractility”

  22. End-Diastolic Volume • __________________ • Greater preload results in stretch of ventricles and in a more forceful contraction • Affected by venous return: • What factors regulate venous return? 1. 2. 3.

  23. The Skeletal Muscle Pump • Rhythmic skeletal muscle contractions force blood in the extremities toward the heart • One-way valves in veins prevent backflow of blood Fig 9.16

  24. Average Aortic Pressure • Aortic pressure is ___________ related to stroke volume • High afterload results in a ___________ stroke volume • Requires greater force generation by the myocardium to eject blood into the aorta • Reducing aortic pressure results in _______ stroke volume

  25. Ventricular Contractility • Increased contractility results in ________ stroke volume • Circulating epinephrine and norepinephrine • Direct sympathetic stimulation of heart

  26. Factors that Regulate Cardiac Output Parasympathetic nerves Mean arterial pressure Cardiac = Cardiac Rate x Stroke Volume Output Contraction strength EDV Sympathetic nerves Stretch Frank- Starling Fig 9.18

  27. Hemodynamics The study of the physical principles of blood flow

  28. Physical Characteristics of Blood • ___________ • Liquid portion of blood • Contains ions, proteins, hormones • Cells • ___________ • Contain hemoglobin to carry oxygen • ___________ • ___________ • Important in blood clotting

  29. ____________ Percent of blood composed of cells Fig 9.19

  30. Hemodynamics Based on interrelationships between: • ___________ • ___________ • ___________ • Since large increases in P are hazardous to health – decreasing resistance is the primary factor used to achieve increases in BF during exercise with a small rise in P

  31. Hemodynamics: Pressure • Blood flows from ___  ___ pressure • Proportional to the difference between MAP and right atrial pressure (P) • BF depends on P at 2 ends of vascular system • P at 2 ends of a vessel are equal = __________

  33. Resistance = Hemodynamics: Resistance • What factors contribute to the resistance of blood flow? 1. 2. 3. • A _________ change in vessel diameter can have a dramatic impact on resistance! Resistance is directly proportional to these 2 factors Most important factor determining vascular resistance

  34. Flow = Hemodynamics: Blood Flow • ___________ proportional to the pressure difference between the two ends of the system • ___________ proportional to resistance

  35. Sources of Vascular Resistance • MAP __________ throughout the systemic circulation • Largest drop occurs across the _____________ • Arterioles are called “resistance vessels”

  36. Pressure Changes Across the Systemic Circulation Fig 9.21

  37. Oxygen Delivery During Exercise • Oxygen demand by muscles during exercise is many times greater than at rest • Increased O2 delivery accomplished via 2 mechanisms: 1. 2.

  38. Changes in Cardiac Output • Cardiac output increases due to: • Increased ____ • Linear increase to max • Increased ____ • Plateau at ~40% VO2max • Oxygen uptake by the muscle also ______ • Higher arteriovenous difference Max HR = 220 - Age (years)

  39. Changes in Cardiovascular Variables During Exercise Fig 9.22

  40. Redistribution of Blood Flow • Muscle blood flowto working skeletal muscle • Splanchnic blood flow to less active organs • Liver, kidneys, GI tract
