Questions and Answers

What happens to alveolar ventilation during incremental exercise?

  • It increases linearly with workload
  • It decreases as workload increases
  • It remains constant but increases the gradient at ~80% intensity of max to get oxygen into blood (correct)
  • It plateaus at ~50% O2 extraction from blood

What happens to oxygen levels in muscle during incremental exercise?

  • Oxygen levels peak at ~80% intensity of max
  • Oxygen levels decrease as workload increases
  • Oxygen levels increase linearly with workload
  • Oxygen levels plateau around ~50% O2 extraction from blood (correct)

What is the definition of Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH)?

  • Condition when O2 carried in arterial blood is severely reduced (by 10 mm Hg PaO2 or 4% SaO2) (correct)
  • Condition when O2 carried in venous blood is severely reduced (by 10 mm Hg PvO2 or 4% SvO2)
  • Condition when O2 carried in arterial blood is mildly reduced (by 5 mm Hg PaO2 or 2% SaO2)
  • Condition when O2 carried in venous blood is mildly reduced (by 5 mm Hg PvO2 or 2% SvO2)
