Name as many arteries,
veins, structures as you can

Cardiac Cycle

The term 'cardiac cycle' = process of the heart contracting and the transportation of blood through the heart.

Cycle = what happens during 1 complete heart beat including filling of the heart with blood and empyting the heart.

Phases of the Cardiac Cycle

1) Atrial Diastole (Atria fill with blood)

2) Ventricular Diastole (Blood is pumpled from the Atria into the ventricles though the AV valves.

3) Atrial Systole (The AV valves close)

4) Ventricular Systole (semilunar valves open and the ventricles contract. Blood is forced from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery and from the left ventricle into the Aorta. Finally, the semilunar valves close and the cycle is completed.

(Level 3) Stroke Volume (SV)

• Volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction.
• Measured in millilitres (ml) per beat.
• Will vary and change depending on venous return, elasticity of the ventricles, contractility of ventricles, blood pressure in arteries leading from the heart.
• Used in determining cardiac output (Q)
• Q = SV x HR

Heart Rate Training Range

Design a Programme that helps a client improve their CV and CR capacity.

Include gym machines but also free-weight resistance.

Use a variety of training methods.

The Programme has to be balanced (full body).

The programme has to include a WU, CD and stretches.

Include modifications.
