Decline (linear with increasing CoHb level) in maximal oxygen uptake of healthy young men undergoing strenuous exercise decrements in visual perception, manual dexterity, and performance of complex sensorimotor tasks...

If not for the need to climb steep hills, bicycling at a 15 mph (24 kph) clip would never be a strenuous exercise. It takes approximately 82 watts, or 0.11 horsepower, on an efficient bicycle, to ride 15 mph on flat ground. But ground is seldom flat. That same 82 watts achieves only 8 mph climbing a barely discernible two percent grade. A five percent grade slows one down to just over 4 mph. Most riders don t want to slow down that much, so they work harder to maintain some speed. On descents, they work less hard, while going still faster. 

Avoid alcohol, dieting, commercial weight-loss products, and strenuous exercise programs unless use or participation has been approved by the health care provider. 

Exercise should be moderate avoid strenuous exercise and erratic periods of exercise.

C14-0131. Humans perspire as a way of keeping their bodies from overheating during strenuous exercise. The evaporation of perspiration transfers heat from the body to the surrounding atmosphere. Calculate the total zlS for evaporation of 1.0 g of water If the skin Is at 37.5 °C and air temperature Is 23.5 °C. 

Of the four markers just mentioned, the expression of P-selectin on the activated platelets is the most widely studied. However, CD62P may not be the ideal marker for detection of circulating degranulated platelets, because they may rapidly lose their surface P-selectin but yet may continue to function. The decrease in the platelet surface expression of the GPIb-IX-V complex (CD42) perhaps represents a more sensitive marker of in vivo platelet activation. Apparently platelet activation related to strenuous exercise is more readily detected using CD42 than other markers (99). 

The effect of the skeletal muscle pump is essential during exercise. Although a mass sympathetic discharge and venous vasoconstriction enhance VR, this mechanism alone is insufficient to increase VR and, therefore, CO to meet the metabolic demands of strenuous exercise. The skeletal muscle pump mobilizes the blood stored in these tissues and keeps it flowing toward the heart. As the number of muscles involved in the exercise increases, so does the magnitude of the increase in VR and CO. 

Team sports, such as volleyball or softball, are other options for increasing activity levels. A person engaging in any strenuous exercise should take caution at first, so as to not strain the body and cause injury. Table 8.1 lists some activities that can help a person expend energy and burn off calories. 

Phosphorylase deficiency (McArdle s disease, glycogenosis type V) is an autosomal recessive myopathy caused by a genetic defect of the muscle isoenzyme of glycogen phosphorylase (Fig. 42-1). Intolerance of strenuous exercise is present from childhood, but usually onset is in adolescence, with cramps after exercise [1, 5]. Myoglobinuria occurs in about one-half of patients. If they avoid intense exercise, most patients can live normal lives however, about one-third of them develop some degree of fixed weakness, usually as a late-onset manifestation of the disease. In a few patients, weakness rather than exercise-related cramps and myoglobinuria characterizes the clinical picture. 

The human body can tolerate only a small range of temperature, especially when the person is engaged in vigorous activity. Heat reactions usually occur when large amounts of water and/or salt are lost through excessive sweating following strenuous exercise. When the body becomes overheated and cannot eliminate this excess heat, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are possible.

Undesirable health effects of oxidant air pollution exposure are increased by exercise, and many people apparently limit strenuous exercise voluntarily when oxidant pollution is high. 

Catecholamine excretion was increased after strenuous exercise, but not after mild or moderate exercise (V5). Climbing stairs for 10 minutes or a 1-mile walk produced no clinically significant increase in catecholamine output (Jl). 

Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia does not occur in patients receiving metformin alone under usual circumstances, but could occur with deficient caloric intake, strenuous exercise not compensated by caloric supplementation, or during concomitant use with other glucose-lowering agents (such as sulfonylureas) or ethanol. 

The weak organic acid, lactic acid, has a pIQ of 3-86. During strenuous exercise, lactic acid can accumulate in muscle cells to produce fatigue. If the ratio of the conjugate base form lactate to the conjugate acid form of lactic acid in muscle cells is approximately 100 to 1, what would be the pH in the muscle cells ... 

Type IV/Andersen failure to thrive, hypotonia, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, progressive liver cirrhosis and failure (death usually before fifth year) some without progression Type V/McArdle exercise intolerance, muscle cramps, myoglobinuria on strenuous exercise, increased creatine kinase (predominantly in male)...

It is difficult to determine the amounts of vitamins needed for good health and they may differ considerably from one individual to another. The quantities listed below are probably adequate for most young adults but must be increased during pregnancy and lactation and after very strenuous exercise. 

A different problem results from deficiency of enzymes of glycolysis such as phosphofructokinase (see Box 20-D), phosphoglycerate rnutase, and pyruvate kinase. Lack of one isoenzyme of phosphoglycerate rnutase in muscle leads to intolerance to strenuous exercise/ A deficiency in pyruvate kinase is one of the most common defects of glycolysis in erythrocytes and leads to a shortened erythrocyte lifetime and hereditary hemolytic anemia.s...

Illness is not considered injury, but it shares similar adverse effects on athletic training and performance. It is doubtful any athlete would choose to have the flu during competition. Sleep deprivation and human immune function has been extensively researched and reviewed (79). Significant detrimental effects on immune function have been demonstrated after both complete and partial sleep deprivation (56,79). The interactions are complex. Some sleep deprivation and strenuous exercise may even enhance certain aspects of immune function (80). This represents yet another area of much-anticipated research and potential impairment to athletic performance.
