Cardiovascular response to exercise The Heart
Outline • General cardiac responses to exercise • Control of heart rate • Control of stroke volume • Blood pressure • Distribution of blood flow • Barroreceptors • Adaptations to training • Impact of the environment
Examples of work (METS) • Rest 1 • Cycling <10 mph 6 • Cycling >20 mph 16 • Running (10 min/mile) 10 • Running (6 min/mile) 16 METS=metabolic equivalent tasks 1 MET=resting energy expenditure= 3.5 mlO2kg-1 min-1= 1 Kcalkg-1 min-1
O2 CO=5 L/min aO2 content=20 ml O2/100 ml blood vO2 content=15 ml O2/100 ml blood

Impact of Dynamic and Isometric Exercise on Arterial Blood Pressure Dynamic Static (isometric)
Why is blood pressure going up? I thought we had sensors that control blood pressure.
Arterial Baroreceptors Cardiovascular Physiology. Berne and Levy 1972
Activation of Barroreceptor reflex Response to an increase in arterial pressure • Withdrawal of sympathetic tone • Activation of parasympathetic tone • Results: • Decrease heart rate and contractility • Arterial vasodilation • Increasein venous compliance
Afferent nerve firing responds to absolute pressure and rate of change in pressure

Schematic illustration of the effect of exercise on arterial baroreflex control of heart rate. Exercise resets the relationship between arterial pressure and heart rate upward and to the right (OP = hypothetical arterial baroreflex operating point). 3 Heart rate control during exercise by baroreceptors and skeletal muscle afferents.

Meeting oxygen needs during exercise Fick equation VO2 = Q (CaO2 – CvO2) VO2 = [HR SV] (CaO2 – CvO2) VO2 = [BP TPR] (CaO2 – CvO2)
Oxygen Extraction (E) Fick equation VO2 = Q (CaO2 – CvO2) CaO2 – CvO2 CaO2 E= VO2= Q CaO2 x E
Arterial and venous oxygen during exercise O2Extraction =(19-12)/19 =0.33 O2 Extraction =(19.5-2)/19.5 =0.90
Heart rate Estimate Maximal heart rate =208-0.7 x (age year) =208-0.7x54=170 bpm
Epinephrine • Source: Adrenal medulla • Increase heart rate and contractility (1), • low concentrations vasodilation (2) • high concentrations vasoconstriction (1), decrease venous compliance (1)
Norepinephrine • Source: Adrenal medulla • Increase heart rate and contractility (1), • Limited effect on 2 • At all concentrations vasoconstriction (1), decrease venous compliance (1)
Determinants of Cardiac Output • Heart rate • Stroke volume • Ventricular end-diastolic volume • Contractility • Afterload (aortic pressure)
Venus Blood Return to Heart • muscle pump • one-way venous valves • breathing Return of blood to heart
Stroke volume • End diastolic volume • End-diastolic volume (Starling’s Law) • End systolic volume • Afterload • Contractility
Increase in heart rate decreases filling time Time between beats Heart rate control during exercise by baroreceptors and skeletal muscle afferents. OLEARY, DONAL Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 28(2):210-217, February 1996. 2
What would happen if you could not increase adrenergic tone to the heart during exercise? Metaprolol= 1 antagonist
