|
Bioenergetics
|
The study of energy in the human body
|
|
|
Metabolism
|
All of the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain itself. It is the process in which nutrients are acquired,transported,used, and disposed of by the body
|
|
|
Exercise metablolism
|
The examination of bioenergetics as is relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise
|
|
|
Substrates
|
The material or substance on which an enzyme acts
|
|
|
Carbohydrates
|
Organic compounds of carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen, which include starches,cellulose, and sugars, and are important source of energy. Is eventually broken down into the body to glucose, a simple sugar.
|
|
|
Glucose
|
A simple sugar manufactured by the body from carbohydrates,fat, and to a lesser extent protein, which serves as the body's main source of fuel
|
|
|
Glycogen
|
The complex carbohydrate molecule used to store carbohydrates in the liver and muscle cells. When carbohydrate energy is needed, it is converted into glucose for use by the muscle cells
|
|
|
Fat
|
One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body. It helps the body use some vitamins and keep the skin healthy. The also serve as energy stores for the body. In food, there are two types: saturated and unsaturated
|
|
|
Triglycerides
|
The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body
|
|
|
Protein
|
Amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and usually sulfur, and that have several essential biologic compounds
|
|
|
Gluconeogenesis
|
The formation of glucose from non carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids
|
|
|
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
|
Energy storage and transfer unit withing the cells of the body
|
|
|
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
|
A high-energy compound occurring in all cells from which (ATP) is formed
|
|
|
ATP-PC System (Phosphagen System)
|
The simplest and fastest of the energy systems. The process of creating a new ATP molecule from a phosphocreatine molecule
|
|
|
Glycolysis (Anaerobic glycolysis)
|
The anaerobic means of producing ATP through the chemical breakdown of glucose and can produce a significant great amount of energy than the ATP-PC System.
|
|
|
Glucose-6-phosphate
|
the converted compound of glucose or glycogen to be used in the Glycolysis system
|
|
|
Oxidative System
|
The most complex of the three energy systems. Is also referred as the aerobic process since the production of ATP involve oxygen. Includes: Aerobic glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain (ETC)
