Stroke volume

An increase in Stroke volume causes a decrease in resting heart rate

Increase in preload at lower intensities of exercise leads to an increased stroke Volume

An increase in afterload leads to a decreased Stroke volume

The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart in one contraction

A major factor in Cardiac output

Sv X HR =cardiac output (Q)

Trained endurance athletes have higher maximal stroke volumes than untrained individuals

Cardiac OUtput

Increases linearly with exercise intensity

Is the primary limiting factor of VO2 max
