QUESTIONS:

1. Compare heart beats in exercise between individuals in good physical condition and those who
are not.

Individuals in good physical condition usually have normal heart rate and heart beat
characteristic than those who are not, since individuals in good physical condition adapt better
to the sudden increase in blood supply demand of the skeletal muscles than individuals who are
not. This is because good physical condition denotes good peripheral resistance and a healthy
adequate cardiac output for healthy individuals.

2. What I is an athletic heart? Is this condition pathological?

Athletic heart syndrome(AHS) is a non-pathological condition commonly seen in sports

medicine, in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart is lower than the normal.
This condition is generally considered benign, but may occasionally hide a serious medical
condition, or may even be mistaken for one.
3. What are the most important factors govern the increase of blood pressure during exercise?

A. Physical activity with exercise, metabolism speeds up and because of this, the muscles
require more oxygen. So the heart beats faster to supply more oxygen and in turn, the
speed of blood flow increases.
B. Cardiac output due to an increase in heart rate to meet demands, cardiac output (the
volume of blood pumped out of the heart in one minute) automatically increases. The faster
and harder the heart pumps, the higher the rate of blood circulation.
C. Venous return - it is the return of blood to the heart via venule and veins. If this is slow, the
volume of the blood pumped from the heart with each beat (stroke volume) is lower. This
lowers cardiac output and reduces blood pressure and flow rate.
