Summary Introduction

To explain: The changes in functions of heart after regular exercise for several months.

Concept introduction:

Stroke volume means for each heart beat, the volume of blood is pumped out by each ventricle. The volume of blood pumped out through each ventricle by the heart per minute is the cardiac output. The cardiac output increases the active state and decreases in resting condition. The body has the ability to alter the heart rate and stroke volume.

In conditioned athletes, the resting Heart Rate is generally much lower than in non-athletes. Why?   a-because long-term exercise reduces Cardiac Output at rest to conserve energy b-because athletes have a smaller Stroke Volume at rest, causing Heart Rate to decrease as well c-because long-term exercise leads to increased vagal tone which slows Heart Rate d-because athletes have stronger ventricles and therefore a larger Stroke Volume at rest, so they require fewer bpm to achieve the same Cardiac Output
. Cardiac output In the late 1860s, Adolf Fick, a professor of physiology in the Faculty of Medicine in Würzberg, Germany. developed one of the methods we use today for measuring how much blood your heart pumps in a minute. Your cardiac output as you read this sentence is probably about 7L/min. At rest it is likely to be a bit under 6 L/min. If you are a trained marathon runner running a marathon, your cardiac output can be as high as 30 L/min. Your cardiac output can be calculated with the formula where Qis the number of milliliters of CO, you exhale in a minute and D is the difference between the CO, concentration (ml/L) in the blood pumped to the lungs and the CO, concentration in the blood returning from the lungs. With Q - 233 ml/min and D - 97 - 56 - 41 ml/L, 233 ml/min 5.68 L/min, 41 ml/L fairly close to the 6 L/min that most people have at basal (resting) conditions. (Data courtesy of J.
