    Exercise Effect On The Respiratory System

    Uploaded by

    Sunitha
    Exercise increases ventilation through the respiratory system in three main ways: 1. During light exercise, ventilation increases mainly through deeper breathing (increased tidal volume). 2. During intense exercise, ventilation increases more through a higher breathing frequency. 3. During steady exercise like jogging, ventilation increases through both deeper breathing and a higher breathing frequency.

    EXERCISE EFFECT ON

    THE RESPIRATORY
    SYSTEM
    Exercise is the most influential
    physiological stress on breathing
    How is increased ventilation accomplished?
     Exercise increases the
    breaths/minute
     Exercise increases the
    amount of air in each
    breath (tidal volume)
    During light exercise
     Ventilation increases linearly
    with oxygen uptake and carbon
    dioxide production
     This increase in ventilation is
    accomplished more by
    increased tidal volume
    (breathing deeper in and out)
    During higher exercise levels
     Ventilation is increased
    more by increased
    breathing frequency
     This will keep the blood
    saturated with oxygen
    because the blood is in
    the alveoli capillaries
    long enough for
    complete diffusion of
    gases
    Steady rate (moderate) exercise
     sufficient oxygen is supplied to muscles
     due to increased oxygen up take, there is little,
    or no, build up of lactic acid in the muscles
     some lactate will be produced and removed by
    the blood stream
     lactic acid is neutralized in the blood (this
    reaction produces carbon dioxide as a by-
    product)
     increased carbon dioxide in the blood will
    stimulate increased ventilation
     Increased ventilation is accomplished by both
    increased tidal volume and frequency
    How does pulmonary ventilation
    (breathing) increase during exercise?
    1. During light exercise (walking)?
    By increasing the tidal volume (breathing deeper)

    2. During intense exercise (sprinting)?


    By increasing the frequency of breathing

    3. During steady state exercise (jogging)?


    By increasing both the tidal volume and the
    frequency of breathing
    IMPORTANT!!
    It is the oxygen up take of the
    muscles that does not keep up with
    the oxygen demand (of muscles)
    during strenuous exercises –
    pulmonary ventilation is usually
    adequate – usually more than
    adequate.
    The Energy Cost of
    Breathing
    At rest and with light exercise
     the energy cost of breathing is minimal
    (4% of energy)
    During intense exercise

     the energy use may


    increase from 10-
    20% of total energy
    expenditure
    In a person with respiratory disease

     the work of
    breathing itself
    during exercise
    may be
    exhausting
    The Effects of Cigarette
    Smoking
     Cigarette smoking has little long
    term effect on athletes in the
    initial years
     Cigarettes have an immediate
    effect of airway resistance (as
    much as 3 times) that lasts
    about 35 minutes after only 15
    puffs
     This could be significant in
    vigorous exercise
    Ventilation Adaptations
    with Training
    Minimal exercise
     ventilation during exercise improves with
    training (due to increased alveolar
    ventilation and increased tissue oxygen
    uptake)
    Sub-maximal exercise
    The percentage of energy used in breathing is
    reduced after training only 4 weeks
     Tidal volume increases
     Breathing frequency is reduced
     This results in increased amounts of
    oxygen extracted from inspired air
    Untrained expired air contains 18%
    oxygen
    Trained expired air contains 14-15%
    oxygen
    This is important
    because
    Itreduces the fatiguing of the
    ventilation musculature
    The freed up oxygen (not used by
    the respiratory muscles) can be
    available for the exercising muscle
    Specificity of Ventilation Response
     The improvements in the ventilation were
    evident only when the athletes performed
    the specific exercises that they were
    trained in
     New exercises did not show any improved
    ventilation
     Why?
    It may be, the ventilation adjustments
    were signaled by neural and chemical
    changes in the trained muscles
    What is Blood Doping?
     Blood doping is the practice of boosting
    the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in
    the bloodstream in order to enhance
    athletic performance.
     Because RBC’s carry oxygen from the
    lungs to the muscles, more RBC’s in the
    blood can improve an athlete’s aerobic
    capacity and endurance.
