Cardiorespiratory system: system
that circulates blood through the body;
consists of the heart, blood vessels, and
respiratory system

Heart
 Fist-sized muscle with four chambers
 Pulmonary circulation: circulatory system that
moves blood between the heart and the lungs;
controlled by the right side of the heart
 Systemic circulation: circulatory system that
moves blood between the heart and the rest of the
body; controlled by the left side of the heart


Heart
 Waste-laden, oxygen-poor blood travels through
venae cavae into the heart’s right upper chamber,
or atrium
▪ Venae cavae: large veins through which blood is returned
to the right atrium of the heart
▪ Atrium: one of the two upper chambers of the heart in
which blood collects before passing to the ventricles


Heart
 After the right atrium fills, it contracts and pumps
blood into the heart’s right lower chamber, or
ventricle
▪ Ventricle: one of the two lower chambers of the heart from
which blood flows through arteries to the lungs and other
parts of the body
 Diffusion: process of oxygen moving from lungs
to the blood and carbon dioxide moving from blood
to the lungs


Heart
 Aorta: the body’s large artery, which receives blood
from the left ventricle and distributes it to the body
 Systole: contraction of the heart
 Diastole: relaxation of the heart
 Blood pressure: the force exerted by the blood on
the walls of the blood vessels; created by the
pumping action of the heart

Blood vessels
 Classified by size and function
 Veins: vessels that carry
blood to the heart
 Arteries: vessels that carry
blood away from the heart


Blood vessels
 Endothelial cells: cells lining the blood vessels
 Nitric oxide: a gas released by the endothelial cells
to promote blood flow
 Capillaries: very small blood vessels that distribute
blood to all parts of the body
 Coronary arteries: pair of large blood vessels that
branch off the aorta and supply the heart muscle
with oxygenated blood


Respiratory system
 Respiratory system: the lungs, air passages, and
breathing muscles; supplies oxygen to the body
and removes carbon dioxide
 Alveoli: tiny air sacs in the lungs that allow the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between
the lungs and blood


Cardiorespiratory system at rest
and during exercise
 At rest, your heart beats at a rate of about 50 to 90
beats per minute, and you take about 12 to 20
breaths per minute
▪ Stroke volume: amount of blood the heart pumps with
each beat
▪ Cardiac output: amount of blood pumped by the heart
each minute; a function of heart rate and stroke volume

Metabolic rate: rate at which the body
uses energy
 Energy from food

 Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
▪ Glucose: simple sugar that circulates in blood and is used
by cells to fuel ATP production
▪ Glycogen: complex carbohydrate stored in the liver and
skeletal muscles; the major fuel source during most forms
of intense exercise; the storage form of glucose

13

ATP (adenosine triphosphate):
the energy “currency” of cells
 Adenosine triphosphate: energy source for
cellular processes
 Cells store small amount of ATP
 When they need more, they create it through
chemical reactions using the body’s stored fuels—
glucose, glycogen, and fat

Nonoxidative (anaerobic) energy system:
supplies energy to muscle cells through
breakdown of muscle stores of glucose and
glycogen

metabolism of glucose and glycogen


Oxidative (aerobic) energy system:
supplies energy to cells through breakdown
of glucose, glycogen, and fats; also called the
aerobic system
 Aerobic: dependent on the presence of oxygen
 Mitochondria: cell structures that convert the
energy in food to a form the body can use


Maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max):
highest rate of oxygen consumption an
individual is capable of during maximum
physical effort, reflecting the body’s ability to
transport and use oxygen
 Measured in milliliters of oxygen used per minute
per kilogram of body weight

Energy systems in combination
 Intensity and duration of exercise determines
which
energy system predominates

Physical fitness and energy production
 Fitness program should target the energy system
most important to your goals
 Cardiorespiratory system is the key to overall
fitness

of brisk walking and the heart rate at the end of the walk
▪ Fast time and low heart rate indicate high
cardiorespiratory endurance
 3-Minute Step Test
▪ Measures how long it takes the pulse to return to normal
after three minutes of stepping exercise

antiseptic and cover with a bandage. Do not remove the
skin covering the blister.
Bruise (contusion)

Fracture and/or
dislocation
Pain, swelling, tenderness, loss of function,

Seek medical attention, immobilize the affected area, and
apply cold.
Joint sprain
Pain, tenderness, swelling, discoloration, and R-I-C-E; apply heat when swelling has disappeared. Stretch
loss of function

Muscle cramp
Painful, spasmodic muscle contractions
Gently stretch for 15−30 seconds at a time and/or massage
the cramped area. Drink fluids and increase dietary salt
intake if exercising in hot weather.

INJURY
SYMPTOMS
TREATMENT
Muscle soreness or
stiffness
Pain and tenderness in the affected muscle
Stretch the affected muscle gently; exercise at a low
intensity; apply heat. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs, such as ibuprofen, help some people.
Muscle strain
Pain, tenderness, swelling, and loss of
strength in the affected muscle
R-I-C-E; apply heat when swelling has disappeared.
Stretch and strengthen the affected area.
Plantar fascitis
Pain and tenderness in the connective tissue
on the bottom of the foot
Apply ice, take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and
stretch. Wear night splints when sleeping.
Shin splint
Pain and tenderness on the front of the lower
leg; sometimes also pain in the calf muscle
Rest; apply ice to the affected area several times a day and
before exercise; wrap with tape for support. Stretch and
strengthen muscles in the lower legs. Purchase goodquality footwear and run on soft surfaces.
Side stitch
Pain on the side of the abdomen
Stretch the arm on the affected side as high as possible; if
that doesn’t help, try bending forward while lightening
the abdominal muscles.
Tendinitis
Pain, swelling, and tenderness of the affected
area
R-I-C-E; apply heat when swelling has disappeared.
Stretch and strengthen the affected area.

Immediate effects:

Increased levels of neurotransmitters; constant or slightly increased blood flow to the brain.

Increased heart rate and stroke volume (amount of blood pumped per beat).

Increased pulmonary ventilation (amount of air breathed into the body per minute). More air is taken into the lungs with each
breath and breathing rate increases.

Reduced blood flow to the stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys, resulting in less activity in the digestive tract and less urine
output.

Increased energy (ATP) production.

Increased blood flow to the skin and increased sweating to help maintain a safe body temperature.

Increased systolic blood pressure; increased blood flow and oxygen transport to working skeletal muscles and the heart;
increased oxygen consumption. As exercise intensity increases, blood levels of lactic acid increase.
Long-term effects:

Improved self-image, cognitive functioning, and ability to manage stress; enhanced learning, memory, energy level, and
sleep; decreased depression, anxiety, and risk for stroke.

Increased heart size and resting stroke volume; lower resting heart rate. Risk of heart disease and heart attack reduced
significantly.

Improved ability to extract oxygen from air during exercise. Reduced risk of colds and upper respiratory tract infections.

Increased sweat rate and earlier onset of sweating, helping to cool the body.

Decreased body fat.

Reduced risk of colon cancer and certain other forms of cancer.

Increased number and size of mitochondria in muscle cells; increased amount of stored glycogen; improved ability to use
lactic acid and fats as fuel. All of these changes allow for greater energy production and power output. Insulin sensitivity
remains constant or improves, helping to prevent type 2 diabetes. Fat-free mass may also increase somewhat.

In a cardiorespiratory workout, heart rate should increase gradually with a 5-10 minute
warm-up that is under 65% training intensity. Endurance exercise should then last 20-60
minutes with a consistent training intensity above 65% but below 90%, keeping heart
rate in the target heart rate zone. A cool down period of 5-10 minutes allows a return to
resting heart rate.
FITT principle for cardiorespiratory workout:
Frequency: 3-5 days per week
Intensity: 55/65-90% of maximum heart rate, 40/50-85% of heart rate reserve plus
resting heart rate, or an RPE rating of about 12-18 (lower intensities—55-64% of
maximum heart rate and 40-49% of heart rate reserve—are applicable to people who
are quite unfit; for average individuals, intensities of 70-85% of maximum heart rate are
appropriate)
