HEART RATE (HR)

‘The number of times the heart beats in one minute.’

At rest it beats between 50 and 80 times per minute. When more blood is required by the muscles during exercise, the heart rate can increase to over 200 beats per minute, pumping around 45 litres around the body.

Heart rate varies according to age, fitness and health.

STROKE VOLUME (SV)

‘The amount of blood forced out of the heart (left ventricle) per beat.’

SECTION B


CARDIAC OUTPUT (CO)

‘The amount of blood pumped out of the heart (left ventricle) in one minute.’

Cardiac output varies depending on the intensity of the exercise and the fitness levels of the person.

Cardiac Output Q = Heart Rate × Stroke Volume

CO = HR × SV

COMPOSITION OF BLOOD

• The human body contains nearly 5 litres of blood

• Blood is made up of 4 elements:Information/Discussion


Red Blood Cells Most important function is to transport O2 (oxygen) to muscle cells to allow energy release and movement.

White Blood Cells Their chief function is to protect the body against disease.

Platelets These bind together to form clots which prevent bleeding.

Plasma Makes up 55% of the total blood volume, 92% of which is water. It contains dissolved food and takes away waste – CO2. Proteins and amino acids are transported to cells in the body and used for growth and repair.

SECTION B


BLOOD VESSELS

• Blood is transported from the heart around the body and back to the heart in blood vessels.

• There are 3 types of blood vessels.When blood leaves the heart –

passes into ARTERIES

These branch off into ARTERIOLES – smaller, but more numerous

When it reaches the muscles, blood passes into CAPILLARIES – even smaller, but more numerous.

At the capillaries, the blood gives up its oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide

The blood starts its journey BACK to the heart in small, narrow veins called VENULES

The blood then passes into larger VEINS before returning to the heart

Oxygen diffuses from blood into tissues through thin capillary walls. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the tissues into the blood

BLOOD PRESSURE

• The force of blood against the artery walls.

• With exercise, the heart has to work to supply more O2 to muscles. As a result, the force of blood leaving the heart increases and blood pressure increases.

• Blood pressure is easily measured by taking the pressure at an artery in the arm.

• SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is the pressure of blood flow on the arteries when the LEFT VENTRICLE CONTRACTS.

• DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is the pressure of blood flow on the arteries when the LEFT VENTRICLE RELAXES.

BLOOD PRESSURE

• The average blood pressure reading for a young adult is 120/80.

• Factors which can affect blood pressure:

– AGE, SEX, EXERCISE INTENSITY, STRESS, CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, FITNESS

• Ways in which blood pressure can be reduced:

– REGULAR EXERCISE, SENSIBLE DIET, AVOID STRESS, MEDICATION

• The blood flow and blood distribution change according to the demand of exercising. The working parts of the body need to be supplied with the necessary amounts of O2

The re-distribution of blood is called the VASCULAR SHUNT

SECTION B


BLOOD PRESSURE

• Blood flow to the muscles and the skin will increase during exercise. Blood flow to the kidneys and digestive system will decrease during exercise.

• The heat produced by the body increases as the INTENSITY and DURATION of exercise increases.

• To control high body temperature, blood is diverted to the capillaries just below the skin – this causes the skin to redden and heat from the blood is then RADIATED from the skin. This widening of the capillaries is called VASODILATION.

• To control low body temperature, the capillaries VASO CONSTRICT – become narrower, therefore reducing heat loss by radiation. Muscles begin to ‘shiver’ – small contractions which provide ‘heat’.

BLOOD PRESSURE

• Another way of combating overheating is by SWEATING. Sweat is formed in sweat glands under the skin. Sweating is caused by the EVAPORATION of sweat from the skin’s surface.
