Kin 470 Lecture 1 9/4/18Exercise physiology: study of acute and chronic effects of exercise on the bodyPower output: walking ~50 Watts. sprinting >2000 WattsCardiac Output: Rest 5L/min. Max exercise 35L/minExercise Physiology: 3 Simple questions- What enables our bodies to dramatically increase its power output?- What enables our bodies to sustain exercise for long periods of time?- What physiological adaptations occur in response to regular exercise? Specific Questions- How do we get energy from food?- How are the physiological systems able to meet the demands of exercise?o hearto muscleso lungs- What signals drive these changes?- How does the body adapt to chronic exercise?- Why do we fatigue when we exercise?Exercise Physiology and Health- Reduces risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer- Manage weight and maintain muscle mass as you ageo Anti-aging medicationo take for 2.5 hours/week- May even make you smarterHow does exercise do all this
