CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSE TO ACUTE

2. STROKE VOLUME
3. CARDIAC OUTPUT
4. BLOOD FLOW
5. BLOOD PRESSURE
6. BLOOD
Changes in
Cardiovascular
Variables
During Exercise
1. Heart Rate
• Increase work will increase HR
• RHR increases with age
• RHR increases with extreme temperature and
altitude
• MHR = 220 – age
• Steady State HR
• HR increase during submax exercise until reaches a
plateau.
• Plateau Steady state HR. Optimal heart rate for
meeting circulatory demand at specific workload (intensity
constant)
• Lower rate of steady state HR shows a more efficient
heart.
• 2-3 min
2. Stroke Volume
• Increase Q
• Facilitate blood flow
• Systolic BP = 120 mmHg at rest
• As exercise increases = systolic BP
increases because Q increases, but
diastolic BP not change.
• But, if a submax steady-state endurance
exercise is prolonged, systolic BP
decreases because increased arteriole
dilation in active muscles.
• MAP = Q x TPR

Exercise
6. Blood
• Functions of blood = transportation,
temperature regulation, acid-base (pH)
balance (normal= 7.4)
• a-v O2 diff
– O2 content per 100 ml arterial/ venous
– Represent the extent to which O2 is extracted and
removed from the blood and pass to the body
– Increase intensity increase a-v O2diff
– Decrease O2 in venous blood
Circulatory Responses to Exercise
Incremental Exercise
Heart rate and cardiac output
– Increases linearly with increasing work rate
– Reaches plateau at 100% VO2 max
Blood pressure
– Mean arterial pressure increases linearly
Systolic BP increases
Diastolic BP remains fairly constant
Double product (Rate-pressure product)
– Increases linearly with exercise intensity
– Double

Circulatory Responses to Exercise
Intermittent Exercise
Recovery of heart rate and blood pressure
between bouts depend on:
– Fitness level
– Temperature and humidity
– Duration and intensity of exercise
Circulatory Responses to Exercise
Prolonged Exercise
Cardiac output is maintained
Gradual decrease in stroke volume
– Due to dehydration and reduced plasma volume
Gradual increase in heart rate
– Cardiovascular drift
