EXERCISE EFFECT ON THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Exercise is the most influential physiological stress on breathing How is increased ventilation accomplished? Exercise increases the breaths/minute n Exercise increases the amount of air in each breath (tidal volume) n
During light exercise Ventilation increases linearly with oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production n This increase in ventilation is accomplished more by increased tidal volume (breathing deeper in and out) n
During higher exercise levels Ventilation is increased more by increased breathing frequency n This will keep the blood saturated with oxygen because the blood is in the alveoli capillaries long enough for complete diffusion of gases n
Steady rate (moderate) exercise n n n sufficient oxygen is supplied to muscles due to increased oxygen up take, there is little, or no, build up of lactic acid in the muscles some lactate will be produced and removed by the blood stream lactic acid is neutralized in the blood (this reaction produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct) increased carbon dioxide in the blood will stimulate increased ventilation Increased ventilation is accomplished by both increased tidal volume and frequency
How does pulmonary ventilation (breathing) increase during exercise? 1. During light exercise (walking)? By increasing the tidal volume (breathing deeper) 2. During intense exercise (sprinting)? By increasing the frequency of breathing 3. During steady state exercise (jogging)? By increasing both the tidal volume and the frequency of breathing
IMPORTANT!! It is the oxygen up take of the muscles that does not keep up with the oxygen demand (of muscles) during strenuous exercises – pulmonary ventilation is usually adequate – usually more than adequate.
The Energy Cost of Breathing
At rest and with light exercise n the energy cost of breathing is minimal (4% of energy)
During intense exercise n the energy use may increase from 1020% of total energy expenditure
In a person with respiratory disease n the work of breathing itself during exercise may be exhausting
The Effects of Cigarette Smoking n n n Cigarette smoking has little long term effect on athletes in the initial years Cigarettes have an immediate effect of airway resistance (as much as 3 times) that lasts about 35 minutes after only 15 puffs This could be significant in vigorous exercise
Ventilation Adaptations with Training
Minimal exercise n ventilation during exercise improves with training (due to increased alveolar ventilation and increased tissue oxygen uptake)
Sub-maximal exercise The percentage of energy used in breathing is reduced after training only 4 weeks Tidal volume increases n Breathing frequency is reduced n This results in increased amounts of oxygen extracted from inspired air ¨Untrained expired air contains 18% oxygen ¨Trained expired air contains 14 -15% oxygen n
This is important because n. It reduces the fatiguing of the ventilation musculature n. The freed up oxygen (not used by the respiratory muscles) can be available for the exercising muscle
Specificity of Ventilation Response The improvements in the ventilation were evident only when the athletes performed the specific exercises that they were trained in n New exercises did not show any improved ventilation n Why? ¨It may be, the ventilation adjustments were signaled by neural and chemical changes in the trained muscles n
What is Blood Doping? Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic performance. n Because RBC’s carry oxygen from the lungs to the muscles, more RBC’s in the blood can improve an athlete’s aerobic capacity and endurance. n
