What metabolic changes must occur in skeletal muscles at the beginning of exercise to provide the necessary energy to continue movement |
Anaerobic energy sources |
|
Anaerobic energy sources contributions to the beginning of exercise |
Overall production of atp ATP levels are unchanged, even though ATP is being used at a higher rate |
|
As steady state of O2 is reached--- |
Body's atp requirements is met via aerobic metabolism |
|
Oxygen deficit |
Lag in oxygen uptake at the beginning of exercise |
|
Aerobic atp production is insufficient until the oxygen uptake reaches steady state because |
There is inadequate oxygen delivery to the muscle or failure of oxidative phosphorylation |
|
How do trained adults reach vo2 steady state faster than untrained adults |
Better developed aerobic bioenergetic capacity resulting from cardio it's muscular adaptations by endurance training |
|
Less production of lactate and H ions brings what? |
Longer levels of exercise. Time increases |
|
After exercise the metabolic rates does not fall instantly. Why? |
Oxygen uptake is above the level needed to meet the demands of standing on the treadmill |
|
Higher intensity exercises |
No steady state is present |
|
Oxygen debt |
Elevated oxygen uptake following exercise |
|
EPOC |
If not used, part of 02 consumed following exercise is used to restore PC in muscle and O2 stores in blood and tissue |
|
Glycolysis |
Produces two 3- carbon pyruvic acid meadowdale |
|
Citric acid cycle |
Each pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria separately. They lose a C , forming CO2. Then binds with acetyl COa forming an enzyme |
|
High intensity, short term exercise 2-20 seconds utilizes what pathway |
ATP-PC system |
|
Intense exercises lasting longer than >5 seconds utilizes which pathway |
Glycolysis |
|
High intensity exercises lasting longer than 45 seconds uses what pathway |
All 3 metabolic pathways |
|
Hot humid environments effect on aerobic metabolism and its steady state |
Increase uptake in oxygen Continous exercise at a high work rate results in slow rise in oxygen uptake |
|
Increased in VO2 is due to: |
Increase in body temperature Increases in hormones ep and noep |
|
Incremental exercise tests Graded exercise tests |
Examine for possible heart disease conducted on a treadmill or cycle ergometer |
|
VO2 max |
Maximal capacity to transport and utilize oxygen during exercise |
|
Psychological factors that influence VO2 max |
Maximum ability of the cardio system to deliver oxygen to the contracting muscles Muscles ability to take up the oxygen and PRODUCE ATP aerobically |
|
Increased in VO2 is due to |
Increased body temperature Increase in hormones. Epinephrine And noneoinephrine |
|
Incremental exercise tests [ graded exercise tests] |
Examine for possible heart diseases Conducted on a treadmill or cycle ergometer |
|
Maximal oxygen uptake or VO2 max |
Maximal capacity to transport and utilize oxygen during exercise |
|
Does power increase after oxygen uptake rate is reached? |
No. |
|
Name physiological factors that influence VO2 max |
Maximum ability of the cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to the contracting muscle Muscles ability to take up the oxygen and produce ATP aerobically |
|
As exercise intensity increases during an incremental test. What happens to blood lactate levels |
They rise In untrained individuals it occurs around 50-60% of VO2 max |
|
Anaerobic thresholds |
A systematic rise in blood lactate during incremental exercise |
|
Onset of blood lactate accumulation |
Exercise intensity at which a specific blood lactate concentration is reached |
|
Lactate production depends on many factors |
Rapid rate of glycolysis., in which NADH production may exceed the transport capacity of the shuttle mechanism that move H from the sarcoplasm into the mitochondria Caused by increases in epinephrine levels |
|
Slow fiber muscles |
Slow twitch , low intensity exercises LDH coverts lactate to pyruvate. These muscles are used in the beginning of exercise |
|
Fast twitch fibers |
Intense, rapid exercise LDH attaches to pyruvate forming lactate. Causing lactate thresholds |
|
The ph of body Fluids can alert enzymes activity |
If ph Is altered the activity reduces During exercise, skeletal muscles produces large amounts of h+ ions, resulting in decreases in Ph |
|
1g carb= kcal |
4 |
|
What is the stored polysaccharide found in animal tissues and muscle |
Glycogen= linkage of glucose molecules |
|
1g fat =? kcal |
9 |
|
Groups of fats |
Fatty acids Steroids Phospholipids Triglycerides |
|
Fatty acids are stored as |
Triglycerides Composed of 3 fatty acids and one glycerol |
|
Proteins can contribute energy for exercise in two ways |
Amino acid alanine can be converted in the liver to glucose, which can then be used to make glycogen Liver glycogen can be broken down to glucose and then transported to working skeletal muscle |
|
During high intensity short term exercise the muscles ATP production is dominated by |
ATP-PC system |
|
Intense exercise lasting over 20 sec relies on |
Anaerobic glycolysis |
|
High intensity exercises lasting longer than 45 seconds uses all three pathways. T or f |
True |
|
Steady state oxygen uptake can be maintained during moderate exercise but there are 2 exceptions |
Hot humid environments increase oxygen uptake Continous exercise at higher work rates resulting in slow uptake |
|
As exercise intensity increases. During a graded test, blood lactate levels rise. When does it appear in untrained individuals. Trained individuals? |
