18. TIMING OF DIETRY INTAKE Redistribution of Blood Flow REDISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FLOW Vasoconstriction (decreased)or vasodilation (increased) of blood vessels to alter rate of blood flow to control blood flow to different parts of the body. VASODILATION Relaxation of the muscular wall to increase blood throw through the vessel. VASOCONSTRICTION Contraction of the muscular wall to reduce blood flow through the vessel. SHUNTING The process which results in the redistribution of blood flow.

19. TIMING OF DIETRY INTAKE Redistribution of Blood Flow Yes, we need m___nutrients for energy but we need to leave a 2 hour gap between substantial meals and exercising. When we are resting and digesting food. A large percentage of blood is redirected to the liver and kidneys to aid digestive functions. This redirection of blood, takes blood away from our s______ muscle, the muscle used for movement. If we eat too close to exercising, an optimum amount of _____ isn’t flowing through our muscles because it’s busy helping digestion. This decreased/increased? blood in the muscles, leads to decreased/increased oxygen delivery and removal of carbon dioxide. If we get the timings of our meals wrong. It can lead to stomach cramps and drops in performance. Why stomach cramps? Why drops in performance?
