TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Altitude, Pollution, and Underwater Diving: Effects on Exercise Capacity A1 - Porcari, John A1 - Drum, Scott A2 - Porcari, John P. A2 - Bryant, Cedric X. A2 - Comana, Fabio PY - 2015 T2 - Exercise Physiology AB - LEARNING OUTCOMESDescribe environmental conditions at altitude, including percent air composition, solar radiation, changes in air temperature at various altitudes, wind speeds, and terrain effects on human effort.Identify body/physiological changes related to acute altitude exposure.Identify body/physiological changes related to chronic altitude exposure (acclimation).Describe common changes in sea-level performance after altitude exposure or training.Compare and contrast exercise performance at altitude with little to no acclimation with that after proper acclimation.Identify the key elements of successful altitude training camps.Describe changes in a person's general fitness level (positive and negative) and blood chemistry after a long sojourn to high altitude.Identify notable health decrements/hazards that may occur with acute altitude exposure, such as acute mountain sickness.Explain how exercise at altitude (vs. sea level) may aid in weight loss for overweight and obese individuals.Describe the cardiopulmonary effects of air pollution.Identify exercise performance inhibitors brought on by air pollution.Explain why the risk for cardiovascular disease may increase with acute or chronic exposure to pollutants.Briefly describe the history of diving.Explain the physics of diving, specifically the concept of hydrostatic pressure, Boyle's law, and Henry's law.Describe the major physiological responses during diving, including the diving reflex, ventilatory responses, hemodynamic responses, and the energy cost of diving.Identify common diving equipment.List possible complications during scuba diving.
