Across
  1. 5. the tiny blood vessels that deliver oxygen to tissues, increase in number and density, improving the exchange of nutrients and waste products.
  2. 9. Type I muscle fibers (slow-twitch) undergo slight increase in size.
  3. 12. The efficiency of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the lungs increases, enabling better gas exchange during exercise.
  4. 13. a protein that carries oxygen within muscles, increases, further enhancing oxygen transport.
  5. 14. Aerobic training stimulates an increase in blood _________, allowing for better oxygen transport and thermoregulation.
  6. 15. The respiratory system becomes more efficient at extracting oxygen from inhaled air, which benefits aerobic performance.
  7. 16. The variance in oxygen content between arterial and venous blood. Reflects the amount of oxygen extracted by tissues during circulation. Increases with aerobic training due to improved oxygen utilization by muscles.
  8. 22. A type of aerobic interval training. Involves longer work periods and rest intervals. Enhances both aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
  9. 23. the amount of air breathed in and out of the lungs per minute. measured in L/min. Enhanced through aerobic training, leading to improved respiratory efficiency
  10. 25. Number of breaths taken per minute. Can decrease with aerobic training due to improved lung efficiency
  11. 26. The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute increases at maximal levels as a result of aerobic training. This is due to the combined effect of an increased stroke volume while maximum HR remains the same (Q = HR x SV).
Down
  1. 1. Alternates between intense exercise and brief rest or low-intensity periods. Maximizes calorie burn and cardiovascular benefits in a shorter time. Boosts aerobic and anaerobic fitness and metabolic rate.
  2. 2. The maximum amount of oxygen that the body can use during intense exercise, reflecting aerobic fitness.
  3. 3. Swedish term for "speed play." Unstructured form of aerobic training. Alternates between various intensity levels during a workout. Improves aerobic and anaerobic capacity and race performance.
  4. 4. The volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart per beat increases due to aerobic training. This allows more oxygen-rich blood to be delivered to working muscles.
  5. 6. High-intensity training that rely on non-oxygen energy sources, enhancing power and speed.
  6. 7. Amount of air inspired or expired during a normal breath. Measured in milliliters (ml). Aerobic training can enhance this
  7. 8. Muscles become more adept at utilizing this fuel for energy, sparing glycogen during prolonged aerobic activities.
  8. 10. Cellular organelles responsible for energy production. Site of aerobic respiration and ATP synthesis. Abundant in muscle cells and tissues with high energy demands. Adaptations include increased number and size with aerobic training.
  9. 11. The enlargement of the heart muscle due to sustained training.
  10. 17. Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands; the body adapts to the specific stress it encounters.
  11. 18. Sustained, steady-state aerobic exercise. Performed at a constant intensity over an extended duration. Promotes cardiovascular endurance and fat metabolism.
  12. 19. Regular aerobic training can lead to lower ____ ________, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
  13. 20. Aerobic training leads to a reduction in the resting and submaximal _____ ______, allowing the it to work more efficiently by needing fewer beats to maintain the same cardiac output.
  14. 21. Point during exercise where lactate production exceeds removal. Indicates a shift from aerobic to anaerobic energy production. Associated with a delay in the accumulation of fatigue-causing substances. Increasing it allows for extended high-intensity exercise. Training at or near this improves endurance and lactate tolerance.
  15. 24. Prolonged exercises that improve the body's capacity to utilize oxygen for energy production.
