Cardiac output formula

Stroke Volume × Heart Rate

Cardiac output definition

Amount of blood leaving heart per minute

Stroke volume definition

Amount of blood ejected from heart per beat

Heart rate definition

Number of times heart beats per minute

Anticipatory rise

HR increase before exercise due to adrenaline

Heart rate at rest

At its lowest

Why HR increases sharply when exercise starts

Due to demand for oxygen

HR during continuous exercise

Levels/sustains to meet oxygen need

HR immediately after exercise

Decreases sharply as oxygen demand reduced

Tidal volume definition

Air inspired or expired in a normal breath

Vital capacity definition

Max air expired after max inspiration

Residual volume definition

Air remaining in lungs after forced maximal exhalation

Expiratory reserve volume

Max air exhaled in addition to tidal volume

Inspiratory reserve volume

Max air inhaled in addition to tidal volume

Tidal volume during exercise

Increases to meet O2 demand & remove CO2
