- 1As we increase altitude we _____ pressure.Decrease
- 2what elevation do we class as moderate altitude?2500-4000m
- 3What effect does altitude have on hemoglobin and VO2 max?Decreases hemoglobin saturation as there is a lower partial pressure of oxygen. Altitude decreases VO2 max meaning a set intencitie required a greater % of our VO2max
- 4In the short term altitude ____ our ventilation, which means _____ alveoli oxygen and _____ alveoli CO2. This could result in _____.increase, increase, decrease, alkalosis.
- 5Give some cardiovascular adaptions to hypoxia.elevated heart rate, decreased SV, no change to CO, maximal cardiac output decreased
- 6Give some local adaptions to hypoxia.Increased capillarity density, increased mitochondrial density, Increased oxidative enzyme activity, loss of body weight and lean body mass
- 7Give two long term pulmonary adaptions to hypoxia.Hyperventilation, Excretion of base (HCO3-) via kidneys
- 8Describe some symptoms of altitude sickness.Visual problems, extreme shortness of breath, headaches, coma, paralysis.
