Q

Compare how fatigue is observed in a MVC vs a submaximal contraction

A

MVC: start at peak force then decline in force due to fatigue almost immediately observed until complete drop at failure
SUBMAXIMAL: maintain consistent submax force until decline in force that you are able to produce due to fatigue meets force of submax then failure occurs

Q

In HITT exercise, what factors are likely to contribute to fatigue

A

-fatigue in 1min due to:
decreased ATP
decreased PCr
increased Pi
mainly increased H+ ion

-Glycogen decreases across bouts but not a main contributor to fatigue

20
Q

How does the rate of force development change with fatigue and why

A

RFD decreases
-type IIx MU dropout (decrease in MU firing rate)
-decrease rate of Ca2+ release and sensitivity
-decreased rate of CB cycling

21
Q

How does rate of force relaxation change with fatigue and why does this occur

A

ROR decreases with fatigue
-slower rate of Ca2+ reuptake
-decreases Ca2+ ATPase activity: SERCA pump

22
Q

How does fatigue increase risk of injury?

A

decreased rate of muscle relaxation causes forced stretching ultimately increasing risk for injury

23
Q

What are the short term focuses during recovery for fatigue

A

recovering PCr and removing H+/Pi

24
Q

What are the long term focuses during recovery for fatigue

A

resynthesizing muscle and liver glycogen

25
Q

Which aspect of fatigue takes the longest to recover

A

H+ ions take the longest to decrease in concentration from fatigue

26
Q

What aspect of fatigue recovers the fastest

A

ATP followed by PCr and Pi

27
Q

Describe the idea of complete vs incomplete recovery

A

COMPLETE RECOVERY occurs when all energy sources and metabolites have returned to resting concentration
INCOMPLETE RECOVERY occurs when all energy sources and metabolites have returned to resting concentration except for H+ ions which take longer to recover

30
Q

A
  • increased initial force
  • faster use of glycogen
  • faster fatigue
  • greater reduction in force with fatigue
  • slower recovery of PCr

33
Q

Sex differences in absolute endurance

A

males have greater absolute endurance
-increased strength at a given load means fewer type of type II and less occlusion

34
Q

41
Q

What mechanisms does a decrease in ATP affect during fatigue

A

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: Decreases sensitivity of Ca channels leading to a reduced release of CA and in turn reduced number of CBs

Direct Effect on CB: decrease the number of active cross-bridges because ATP is required in CB cycling

42
Q

What mechanisms does a decrease in glycogen affect during fatigue

A

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: Decreases sensitivity of Ca channels leading to a reduced release of CA and in turn reduced number of CBs
-Also decreases ability to produce ATP

43
Q

What mechanisms does an increase in inorganic phosphate affect during fatigue

A

EXCITATION-CONTRACTION COUPLING: Decreases sensitivity of Ca channels leading to a reduced release of CA and in turn reduced Ca troponin interaction
DIRECT EFFECT ON CB: decreases bond strength, increases likelihood of CB disattachment

44
Q

What mechanism does an increase in H ion affect during fatigue

A

EXCITATION-CONTRACTION COUPLING: causes interference of Ca binding to troponin and in turn decreases the rate of CB activation
-may inhibit Ca release, or slow ADP release during CB cycling
