Q

EPOC is…

A

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption - the amount of O2 consumed during recovery above that which is normally consumed at rest

21
Q

What two components are there during oxygen consumption in recovery?

A

Fast component and Slow component

22
Q

What is involved in the fast component of oxygen consumption?

A
  • Restoration of ATP and PC
  • Re-saturation of myoglobin with oxygen
  • 2-3 litres of oxygen consumed
  • Uses 0.5 litres of oxygen
  • PC replenishment takes 3 mins for 100%. 30s for 50%
23
Q

What is involved in the slow component of oxygen consumption?

A
  • Removal of lactic acid through taking in extra O2
  • Lactic acid can be:
    oxidised to CO2 and water
    or converted into glycogen or protein
    or lost as sweat/urine
    or used as energy to increase heart rate
24
Q

The amount of oxygen we use to produce ATP is…

A

oxygen consumption

25
Q

When there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all energy (ATP) aerobically

A

Sub-maximal oxygen deficit

26
Q

This gives an indication of anaerobic capacity

A

Maximum oxygen deficit (MAOD)

27
Q

The type of respiration used by physical activities is known as…

A

energy continuum

28
Q

Name four specialist training methods to improve energy systems?

A
  1. Altitude training
  2. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
  3. Plyometric training (power)
  4. SAQ (Speed Agility Quickness)
29
Q

Give advantages of altitude training

A

> increases:

  • red blood cells
  • concentration of haemoglobin
  • blood viscosity and capilliarisation
  • lactate tolerance
  • O2 transport
30
Q

Give disadvantages of altitude training

A

> expensive
altitude sickness
intensity has to be reduced to cope with the low partial pressure of oxygen
benefits can quickly be lost when back at sea level

31
Q

What is Altitude training and who is it good for?

A

When athletes train where the partial pressure of O2 is lower than at sea level meaning not as much O2 diffuses into the blood so haemoglobin is not fully saturated. This type of training would be useful for long-distance/stamina based events (e.g. a marathon runner)

32
Q

What is HIIT training?

A

Short intervals of maximum intensity exercise followed by a recovery interval of low moderate exercise. uses the anaerobic glycolytic system

33
Q

What does plyometric training do?

A

It improves speed and power of an athlete and involves high intensity explosive activities. used by power athletes (e.g. weightlifters, long jumpers)

34
Q

What are the three phases of plyometric training?

A

An eccentric contraction occurs first followed by a concentric contraction (uses stored energy to increase force of contraction) which causes stretch shortening cycle

35
Q

What does SAQ aim to improve? and who would use it?

A

Aims to improve multi-directional movement through developing the neuromuscular system.
A footballer or rugby player would use this and energy is provided anaerobically

36
Q

The maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up and used by the muscles per minute

A

VO2 max

37
Q

What structural characteristics help increase a persons VO2 max?

A 
More mitochondria ( to provide ATP)
More myoglobin ( to store O2 in the muscles)
More capilliarisation around the muscles ( greater uptake of O2 via diffusion)  
Increase lactate tolerance (aerobic for longer)
38
Q

What other factors can effect a persons VO2 max?

A

> Lifestyle = poor diet reduces VO2 max
Training = aerobic training improves VO2 max
Genetics
Gender
Age = as we get older (more inefficient) our VO2 max reduces
Body Composition = high % of body fat reduces VO2 max

39
Q

Give an example of a VO2 max test?

A

Multi-stage fitness test, harvard step-test and Coopers 12 min run

40
Q

Respiratory exchange ratio =

A

the ratio of CO2 released compared to O2 used by the body. It calculates energy expenditure and provides info about which energy source is being oxidised

41
Q

How does lactate sampling work?

A

The lactate produced in the muscles diffuses into the blood and blood lactate levels can be measured

42
Q

The higher the exercise………………the greater the demand for……………. and the faster …………… occurs because when glycogen is broken down ………………..into pyruvic acid, lactic acid is formed

A
  1. intensity
  2. energy/ATP
  3. OBLA
  4. anaerobically
43
Q

Give factors that affect the rate of lactate accumulation?

A
  1. The use of slow or fast twitch fibres as slow twitch produce less lactate (as high aerobic capacity)
  2. Rate of lactate removal
  3. A respiratory exchange ratio under 1.0 means glycogen becomes preferred fuel and there is greater change of accumulation of lactate
  4. Fitness of performer - elite athletes can delay OBLA
44
Q

The point at which lactic acid rapidly accumulates in the blood

A

Lactate threshold

45
Q

The point when lactate levels go above 4 litres

A

OBLA (onset blood lactate accumulation)

46
Q

Average performers may have a threshold that is……………of their VO2 max

A

50’60%

47
Q

Elite performers may have a lactate threshold that is……….. of their VO2 max

A

70,80 or even 90%

48
Q

what is buffering?

A

Removal of lactate to consequently have lower lactate levels

49
Q

Indirect calorimetry measures…

A

how much CO2 is produced and how much O2 is consumed at both rest and during aerobic exercise
