The Effects of Endurance and Strength Exercise On CV Response
Apparatus:
weights
heart rate monitor
introduction:
At rest, our nervous system maintains a parasympathetic tone which affects the
respiratory rate, cardiac output, and various metabolic processes.
Method:
a person perform exercise first with low weight but high repetition (2 sets of 10 repetition
with weight of 5 kg) and then his heart level and bp is monitored.
Then he perform exercise with high intensity and low repetition (1 set of 10 repetition with
weight of 10 kg) and then his heart level and bp is monitored.
His heart is monitored throughout the exercise using heart monitor
results:
endurance runners show a lower Heart rate in maximum aerobic tests.
Strength training increases your heart rate just as cardio and circuit training does,
depending on resistance, repetitions and rest between sets.
Changes in CV response:
Cardiovascular effects of endurance training include a decrease in resting heart rate and
heart rate response to submaximal exercise; an increase in resting and exercise stroke
volume; an increase in maximal cardiac output; an increase in VO2max; and an increase in
arteriovenous oxygen difference.
Aerobic exercise training contributes to cardiovascular fitness, because it beneficially
alters the coronary artery disease risk profile. An inverse relationship exists between
physical fitness and resting heart rate, body weight, percent body fat, serum cholesterol,
triglycerides, glucose, and systolic blood pressure. In addition, exercise training increases
the high-density lipoprotein fraction of total cholesterol. Endurance exercise is any
activity that uses large muscle groups, can be performed continuously, and is rhythmic
and aerobic in nature. To develop and maintain cardiovascular fitness, this exercise should
be performed at a frequency of 3 to 5 days per week, an intensity of 60% to 90% HRmax or
50% to 85% HRmax reserve, and a duration of 20 to 60 minutes.
