The coordination of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to deliver O2 during physical activity.

The changes in ventilation and gas exchange that occur during exercise.

The amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath during normal respiration.

The total volume of air breathed in or out per minute.

The number of breaths taken per minute during respiration.

The volume of fresh air reaching the alveoli per minute for gas exchange.

The volume of air that does not participate in gas exchange because it does not reach the alveoli.

The regulation of breathing to match the metabolic needs during exercise.

Reduces fatigue of respiratory muscles and lowers O2 demand during exercise.

Increases blood flow to working muscles, involves changes in heart function and blood pressure.

Heart rate is regulated both intrinsically by the sinoatrial node and extrinsically by the nervous system.

The heart's natural pacemaker that initiates self-depolarization at ~100 beats/min.

Increases heart rate and contractility during exercise by releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Slows down heart rate through acetylcholine release when at rest.

A feed-forward mechanism that adjusts heart rate based on exercise demands.

A response that regulates blood pressure through carotid receptors.

A formula describing blood flow, factoring in pressure, vessel radius, length, and viscosity.

Occurs with capillary opening, enhancing nutrient and gas exchange without speeding up blood flow.

Systolic blood pressure rises with activity, while diastolic remains stable during steady-state exercise.

The widening of blood vessels, which decreases resistance and increases blood flow during exercise.

Represents oxygen consumption as the product of heart rate (HF) and stroke volume (SV).

The method by which oxygen is delivered to tissues in the body during physical activity.

The difference in oxygen content between arterial and venous blood, indicating how much O2 is utilized by tissues.

The lungs facilitate gas exchange, ensuring oxygen enters the bloodstream.

Includes the heart and blood vessels, transporting oxygenated blood throughout the body.

Muscles consume oxygen delivered to them for energy production, especially during exercise.

Involves ventilation, diffusion, and transport to ensure O2 reaches working muscles.

Includes lungs, cardiovascular system, blood, and muscles; all work together for oxygen delivery.

Essential for ATP production during aerobic activities, affecting performance and endurance.

The mathematical representation of how oxygen is transported in the body.

An equation that accounts for the inflow and outflow of substances in a system to maintain equilibrium.

The functions of lungs and muscles in the oxygen transport process and their interactions.

A graph showing how hemoglobin's oxygen binding changes with different conditions like pH and temperature.

Methods that enhance each other’s effectiveness in understanding a complex system.

Specific factors selected for analysis in oxygen transport studies.

Simplified calculations used to estimate more complex behaviors in systems.

The comprehensive understanding of the system's behavior from various processes involved.

Limited improvement in VO2max is ~20% from short-term programs, up to 40-50% in elite athletes long-term.

Most performance gains occur from increasing sustainable VO2 and efficiency, rather than VO2max alone.

Changes in oxidative enzymes can increase significantly even if VO2max does not improve.

Some individuals show little to no improvement in VO2max with physical training; these are known as non-responders.

Short-term training programs yield limited adaptations, while long-term, extreme cases show higher gains.

Actual performance improvements are best linked to sustained VO2 and efficiency enhancement, not just VO2max.

In exceptional longitudinal studies, athletes may see a VO2max improvement of 40-50% with dedicated training.

Training can lead to adaptations in the body that improve endurance performance, such as increased oxidative enzymes.
