|
Training Effect |
An increase in functional capacity of muscles and other bodily tissues as a result of increased stress (overload) placed upon them. |
|
|
Homeostasis |
Automatic tendency to maintain a relatively constant interval environment. |
|
|
Metabolism |
The chemical process occurring within a living cell or organism that are necessary for the maintenance of life. In metabolism some substances are broken down to yield energy for a vital processes while other substances, necessary for life, are synthesized. |
|
|
Anabolism |
The building up in the body of complex chemical compounds from simpler compounds (eg. proteins from amino acids. |
|
|
Catabolism |
The breaking down in the body of complex chemical compounds into simpler ones (eg. amino acids to individual proteins)> |
|
|
Metabolic set point |
The base rate of metabolism that your body seeks to maintain; results in your basal metabolic rate. |
|
|
Basal metabolic rate |
The minimum energy required to maintain the body's life function at rest, Usually expressed in calories per hour per square meter of the body surface. |
|
|
Kilocalories |
The amount of energy released when food is digested. |
|
|
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 (RQ) |
A method of determining the "fuel mix" being used giving us a way to measure the relative amounts of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins being burned for energy. |
|
|
ATP/CP pathway |
ATP and CP provide anaerobic sources of phosphate-bond energy. The energy liberated from hydrolysis (splitting) of CP rebonds ADP and Pi to form ATP. |
|
|
Glycolytic pathway |
Glucose is broken down to produce energy anaerobically. |
|
|
Oxidative pathway |
Oxygen combines with latic 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 o 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. |
