5. For example… Stroke Volume = 75 ml Heart Rate = 65 b.p.m. Cardiac Output = 75 x 65 = 4875 ml Stroke Volume = 150 ml Heart Rate = 200 b.p.m. Cardiac Output = 150 x 200 = 30000 ml Cardiac Output At rest… While exercising… Cardiac output is… … the total output of blood from the heart in one minute . It is calculated using the formula… Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate
13. LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE HEART Most studies use data taken from male subjects. Values for females may differ When CV improvements are made and efficiency is increased, Q could be higher to compensate for the reduction to the HR. However as the SV will have increased through training the increase in Q may be small 140 ml Av. 70 ml Stroke volume 20 – 25 l/min Av. 5 l/min Cardiac output (Q) Max. 22-0 – age in years Av. 72 bpm Heart rate During exercise At rest
