cardiovascular

Cards (4)

  • increased left ventricle size (chamber)-aerobic
    allows for a greater volume of blood to be pumped with each heartbeat, delivering more oxygen to the working muscles
  • increased LIP-aerobic
    means that an athlete to work at higher intensities for longer periods of time before lactate accumulation exceeds removal rate
  • increased red blood cell count-aerobic
    allows more oxygen to be carried in the blood, and delivered to the working muscles
  • increased thickness of left ventricle wall-anaerobic
    allows for more forceful contractions of the heart, and more forceful ejections of blood from the heart, delivering more oxygen to the working muscles with each heartbeat
