1

2 ways to think about environment

altitude and temperature

New cards
2

Altitude means…

“thin air”: lower gas density, lower oxygen with each breath

New cards
3

Hyperventilation is…

immediate: high breath rate, high O2 delivery, high CO2 removal and acid-base balance changes

New cards
4

Hyperventilation can result in…

acute mountain sickness: headache and brain and lung swelling

New cards
5

Altitude body changes…

higher heart rate, higher O2 carrying capacity to create more RBCs and Hb per RBC

New cards
6

____% of energy is released as heat during exercise

80%

New cards
7

calorie definition

a unit of energy equivalent to the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C

New cards
8

Exercise in the heat body effects sweat …

sweat evaporates off you and removes body heat, high humidity in the body and hyperthermia happens if sweat cant evaporate

New cards
9

Exercise in the heat body effects heart rate…

higher heart rate, more skin blood flow(higher peripheral vasodilation and heat dissipation), less muscle blood flow

New cards
10

Exercise in the heat body effects stroke volume…

lower stroke volume, high fluid loss, low blood volume, urine test used to determine these levels (fluid replenishment is vital)

New cards
11

Exercise in the cold effects on core temperature

Hypothermia lowers core body temperature, body shivers to move muscles to produce more heat

New cards
12

Exercise in the cold effects on peripheral vasoconstriction

low skin blood flow and heat dissipation, need to layer and hold sweat in to keep warmth and increase bodys metabolic rate, and increase blood flow to extremities

New cards
13

Types of body composition measurments…

  1. BMI

  2. hip to waist ratio

  3. skinfold measurments

  4. BIA (bioelectrical impedence analysis)

  5. ultrasound

  6. air displacement (bodpod)

  7. hydrostatic underwater weighing

  8. Dual Energy X ray absorbtiometry (DEXA/DXA)

New cards
14

BMI strengths

easy to calculate, strong correlation to health outcome

New cards
15

BMI weaknesses

not strongly coordinated to body fat, population specificity

New cards
16

hip to waist ratio strengths

easy to calculate, good for risk assessment

New cards
17

hip to waist weakness

doesnt give a lot of information

New cards
18

skinfold testing strengths

non invasive, fast, inexpensive

New cards
19

skinfold testing weaknesses

error is based on tester experience, not accurate for very obese people or very lean people, considers of surface fat not visceral fat

New cards
20

BIA strengths

relatively inexpensive, portable, home use,

New cards
21

BIA weaknesses

hydration effects results, prediction based on prediction, 8-12% margin of error for outliers

New cards
22

Ultrasound strengths

portable, relatively inexpensive, potentially very accurate

New cards
23

ultrasound weaknesses

accuracy depends on algorithm, potential user error, gel (messy)

New cards
24

Bod Pod strengths

very accurate, easy to use, non-invase

New cards
25

Bod pod weaknesses

claustrophobia, specialized equipment, requires privacy

New cards
26

underwater weighing strengths

very accurate, considered a long time standard

New cards
27

underwater weighing weaknesses

uncomfy, needs privacy, messy

New cards
28

DEXA/DXA strengths

precise, provides localized data, also scans bone density

New cards
29

DEXA/DXA weaknesses

expensive, uncommon, specialized equipment

New cards
