Tidal Volume And Respiratory Rate Of Exercise
As the subject enters the exercise phase there is an increased metabolic demand due to the heightened workload of the skeletal muscles and organ systems. In order to accommodate this rise in oxygen demand there must be an increase in the subject’s minute ventilation.
The rise in minute volume, with exercise, could be accomplished by increasing the volume of each breath, the tidal volume, increasing the respiratory rate or by some combination of the two. In the subject’s case it was a combination of the two.
Tidal volume is more effective at increasing minute ventilation than respiratory rate, however, if a subject is unfit they will be required to increase their respiratory rate as they cannot breath as deeply as someone with trained lungs. …show more content…
Should this occur then some of the ATP used may be generated by anaerobic glycolysis rather than aerobic respiration, in which case oxygen consumption percentage will underestimate the subject’s true metabolic rate. The subject’s theoretical maximum heart rate may calculated by subtracting their age from 220. Eoin’s theoretical maximum is 198bpm. This is a lot higher than his average heart rate during exercise, which means that he should have undergone little to no anaerobic …show more content…
In addition to these centres ventilation is also influenced during exercise by stimulation of the cerebral cortex, the proprioreceptors, thermoreceptors, nocireceptors, lung stretch receptors and the peripheral baro- and chemoreceptors.
The cerebral cortex is responsible for the rapid increase of ventilation immediately prior to and at the onset of exercise. This is due, in part, to the information sent to the medullary respiratory centres from the primary motor cortex region of the frontal lobe. The cerebral cortex is also involved if the subject is required to take their breathing under conscious control during exercise, for example if the subject is swimming.
If an increase is observed prior to the onset of exercise this is due to greater cortical stimulation of the respiratory centres as the subject anticipates exercise.
During exercise minute ventilation is adjusted to fit the body’s metabolic needs. It is controlled by the respiratory centres of the brain which are influenced by higher brain centres, peripheral receptors of the carotid and aortic bodies and other receptors specifically designed to detect temperature changes, movement and pain. Control of respiratory rate and depth during exercise is necessary to achieve increased oxygen
