Training Effect
|
An increase in functional capacity of muscles and other bodily tissues as a result of increased stress placed upon them
|
|
|
Homeostasis
|
The automatic tendency to maintain a relatively constant internal environment.
Thermostat |
|
|
Metabolism
|
The chemical processes occurring within a living cell or organism that are necessary for the maintenance of life.
|
|
|
Anabolism
|
The building up in the body of complex chemical compounds from simpler compounds
|
|
|
Catabolism
|
The breaking down in the body of complex chemical compounds into simpler ones
|
|
|
Metabolic Set Point
|
The base rate of metabolism that your body seeks to maintain
Results in your BMR |
|
|
Basal Metabolic Rate
|
The minimum energy required to maintain the body's life function at rest.
|
|
|
Kilocalories
|
the amount of energy released when food is digested
|
|
|
Calorie
|
A unit of heat
|
|
|
Thermogenic Effect
|
The heat liberated from a particular food is thus a measure not only of its energy content but also of its tendency to be burned as heat
|
|
|
Respiratory Quotient
|
A method of determining the "fuel mix" being used giving us a way to measure the relative amounts of fat, carbs, and proteins being burned for energy
|
|
|
ATP/CP Pathway
|
ATP and CP provide anaerobic sources pf phosphate-bond energy.
The energy liberated from splitting of CP re-bonds ADP and Pi to form ATP |
|
|
Glycolytic Pathway
|
Glucose is broken down to produce energy anaerobically
|
|
|
Oxidative Pathway
|
Oxygen combines with lactic acid resynthesizing glycogen to produce energy aerobically
|
|
|
Pyruvate
|
a byproduct of glycolysis
|
|
|
Beta Oxidation
|
A series of reactions in which fatty acids are broken down
|
|
|
Krebs Cycle
|
Citric acid cycle; a set of 8 reactions, arranged in a cycle, in which free energy is recovered in the form of ATP
|
|
|
Electron Transport
|
The passing of electrons over a membrane aiding in a reaction to recover free energy for the synthesis of ATP.
