(1500-1900)
The period of the Beginnings of Exercise (Work) Physiology?
(1900-1950)
The period of ACSM and Beyond
(1957-)
Whose theories were unchallenged til the 1500s [primarily anatomy, not physiology]?
Galenos
Who conducted the 1st metabolic study[showed utilization of macronutrients]?
Santorio Santorio
Who was famous for his circulatory discoveries [closed system, capillaries]?
William Harvey
Who was famous for his microcope improvements and muscle physiology?
Anton Von Leeuwenhoek
Who was famous for oxygen and combustion; 1st exercise physiology study; calories?
Antonine Laurent Lavoisier
Who was famous for Glucose metabolism?
Claude Bernard
Who was a digestion pioneer; open gastric fistula in patient who was shot in abdomen allowed for gastric physiology studies?
William Beaumont
Who wrote the 1st exercise physiology text? There was an emphasis on 'work' physiology at this time.
Lagrange
Who is the 'Father or Exercise Physiology'?
August Krogh
Who studied muscle physiology and whole athlete [including VO2 max measurements and steady state]?
A.V. Hill
What is the basis for much modern exercise physiology [with beginnings in work physiology] [business school location originally, not a lab]?
Harvard Fatigue Lab
Key figure at Harvard Fatigue Lab?
D.B. Dill
Examples of applied exercise?
-Performance of elite athletes
-Fluid balance during exercise
-Performance and ergogenic aids
Examples of basic exercise?
-Central peripheral adaption to exercise
-Atrophic muscle signaling with aging and exercise
-Substrate utilization profiles with varying exercise intensities
List 4 components of Physical Fitness?
-Aerobic Fitness
-Muscular Strength & Endurance
-Flexibility
-Body Composition
What's the difference of homeostasis and steady state?
Homeostasis: The dynamic process of maintaining a constant internal environment at rest of unstressed conditions [normal level].

Steady state: A physiological variable that is at a steady and unchanging level [not necessarily normal]
Who is the Glucose 'guru'?
Bernard
Who is the 'homeostasis originator'?
Cannon
Activity level is determined in ________ by environmental temperature.
heterotherms
Metabolism is the internal source of heat that allows for _________.
endothermy/homeothermy
What is 'Dynamic Constancy' and why it occurs?
Aeterial blood pressure oscillates over time, but mean arterial blood pressure is constant. The oscillation is due to delay in negative feedback.
The body rarely or always maintains true homeostasis? Give examples.
Rarely.

-pH drops somewhat
-O2 debt occurs
-Body temp. does increase during heavy exercise (especially in hot and humid conditions)
What can be considered the largest benefit of exercise training?
Homeostasis.
Define Metabolism (general or specific)?
Sum of ALL chemical reations that occur in the body. general.
Define Bioenergetics (general or specific)?
The portion of metabolism by which energy is made and consumed by living things. more specific.
What is the Nuclear 'Domain Limitation Hypothesis'?
Protein synthesis increases with intense training [ex. heavy resistance training]
2 general categories of protein?
Contractile [actin, myosin, titin, ect]

Metabolic [mitochondria the "powerhouse cell]
What are endergonic and exergonic reactions?
Endergonic: require energy to be added

Exergonic: release energy
Endergonic and Exergonic reactions are often coupled. What happens in coupled reactions?
Liberation of energy in a exergonic reaction drives an endergonic reaction.
What is oxidation?
Removing an electron.
What is reduction?
Adding an electron.
Name 2 carrier molecules??
NAD & FAD
Damaged cells release which 2 enzymes into the blood?
CK & troponin
What are macronutrients? Name 3 & their functions.
Substrates that aid in growth, development, and energy production. Consumed in large amounts.

1. Carbs (provide energy)
2. Fats (provide energy, store energy)
3. Proteins (provide energy, promote growth and maintenance)
