Introduction
One major challenge to homeostasis posed by exercise is the increased muscular demand for oxygen During heavy exercise, oxygen demands may by 15 to 25 times Two major adjustments of blood flow are;
cardiac output Redistribution of blood flow
Objectives
Give an overview of the design and function of the circulatory system Describe cardiac cycle & associated electrical activity recorded via electrocardiogram Discuss the pattern of redistribution of blood flow during exercise Outline the circulatory responses to various types of exercise
Objectives
Identify the factors that regulate local blood flow during exercise List & discuss those factors responsible for regulation of stroke volume during exercise Discuss the regulation of cardiac output during exercise

Cardiac Output
The amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute
Product of heart rate and stroke volume
Q = HR x SV
Heart rate = number of beats per minute Stroke volume = amount of blood ejected in each beat

Increase in HR
Sympathetic nervous system
Via cardiac accelerator nerves

End-Diastolic Volume
Frank-Starling mechanism
Greater preload results in stretch of ventricles and in a more forceful contraction
Affected by:
Venoconstriction Skeletal muscle pump Respiratory pump
Ventricular Contractility
Increased contractility results in higher stroke volume
Circulating epinephrine and norepinephrine Direct sympathetic stimulation of heart
EDV

Hemodynamics
Based on interrelationships between:
Pressure Resistance Flow
Hemodynamics: Pressure
Blood flows from high low pressure
Proportional to the difference between MAP and right atrial pressure (P)

Hemodynamics: Resistance
Resistance depends upon:
Length of the vessel Viscosity of the blood Radius of the vessel
A small change in vessel diameter can have a dramatic impact on resistance!

Incremental Exercise
Heart rate and cardiac output
Increases linearly with increasing work rate Reaches plateau at 100% VO2max
Double product
Increases linearly with exercise intensity Indicates the work of the heart
Blood pressure
Due to vasoconstriction of large inactive muscle mass

Prolonged Exercise
Cardiac output is maintained
Gradual decrease in stroke volume Gradual increase in heart rate
Cardiovascular drift
Due to dehydration and increased skin blood flow (rising body temperature)
