Cardiovascular System: Heart Function

1. Connect the terms to their definitions.

Heart rate (HR)
Cardiac Output (Q)
Stroke Volume (SV)
Amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart with each beat in (ml)
Number of times the heart beats in a minute (bpm)
The total amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute in (l/min)

2. Type the correct term into the correct location on the equation below.

= ×

(Stroke Volume (SV) | Heart rate (HR) | Cardiac Output (Q))

3. Choose the correct answer for each of the following questions.

When someone is jogging, which of the following heart rates is the jogger most likely to be working at?

What form of exercise is being undertaken in the video/when someone is jogging? 

When someone is working hard doing repeated sprints or high intensity exercise, which of the following heart rates is the participant most likely to working at? 

What form of exercise is being undertaken in the video / when someone is working hard doing repeated sprints or high intensity exercise? 

4. Place the following exercise characteristics in the correct columns in the table below.

(Exam-style question)
A Maximal

B Heart rate between 60% and 80% of maximum

C Continuous

D Heart rate above 80% of maximum
