The Cardiovascular System#

[DRAFT OUTLINE — Claude]

Planned coverage:

• The oxygen cascade - lungs, heart, blood, capillaries, mitochondria
• Stroke volume and cardiac output as the central limiter
• Eccentric vs concentric cardiac hypertrophy
• Capillary density and the arteriovenous oxygen difference
• Mitochondrial density and biogenesis
• Lactate as fuel rather than waste, and the shuttle that moves it
• Central vs peripheral limiters - which one is yours

Feeds: Aerobic Capacity, Long Duration Endurance, Muscular Endurance.
