Ch 8 Metabolism Exercise Flashcards
(29 cards)
“Sources of Energy”
1) triglycerides in adipose tissue
2) protein in muscle
3) glycogen in liver and muscle
4) glucose and lipids in body fluids
*1 being the most abundant in terms of kcal
Metabolism defintion
consists of two types of processes
1) catabolic reactions
- energy-releasing reactions
- substances are broken down to yield energy
2) anabolic reactions
- energy-requiring reactions
- builds more complex substances
e. g glucose to glycogen
* coupled reactions
Metabolism basics
Glucose—> Glycolysis (anaerobic) —-> TCA Cycle (aerobic)—> Electron Transport chain(aerobic)—–> ATP/Energy
Fatty acid and Amino acid —> TCA cycle (aerobic)—-> Electron transport chain (aerobic) —-> ATP/ENERGY
anaerobic activity
- generates ATP without oxygen
- focuses on muscle strength
- ONLY CHO can make ATP this way
- high to very high intensity (90-100%)
- activities only last a very short duration eg weight lifting
aerobic activity
- oxygen required to generate ATP
- focus on cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle endurance
- ALL energy yielding nutrients generate ATP this way (CHO, FAT, PRO)
- moderate intensity (50-80%)
- Energy (ATP) release can be sustained for a “prolonged period of time”” e.g jog
Fitness definition
ability to do routine physical activity without undue fatigue or ability to meet the challenge
The parameters of fitness include
1) cardiorespiratory endurance: heart and lung capacity
2) muscle endurance: muscle repetition
3) muscle strength: muscle force
4) flexibility: muscle elongation
how does anaerobic exercise promote fat burning?
strength training increases lean body mass which indirectly burns fat by increasing BMR
what types of exercise are anaerobic?
strength training
How does strength training change body composition?
increases lean body mass
what effect does lean body mass have on basal metabolic rate
increases basal metabolic rate
what is the definition of basal metabolic rate
energy needed at rest
which energy source is used most at rest
fat
flexibility def and importance
ability to elongate muscles; helps with balances ability, and power
flexibility types of activities include
- stretching
- yoga
- ballet
- gymnastics
- pilates
- dance
exercise: how the body changes
-greater stores of glycogen
-more mitochondria
-body will use fat more effectively
-build more muscle tissue
(muscle hypertrophy: build/anabolic; muscle atrophy: loss/catabolic)
-strength bones
-helps reduce risk of obesity related diseases
-provide psychological benefits: aids in relaxation, improves mood, reduce anxiety, improving pain tolerance, and appetite control
-muscle change will effect BMR/RMR
progressive overload principle
3 ways of challenging the body
1) frequency: more often
2) duration: longer time
3) intensity: more strenuous
if you feel your exercise is not challenging enough… change the ____ of your workouts
intensity
if you’re busy with school and work throughout the weekday, increase ____ and/or ____ of your exercise on the weekend
duration; intensity
if you have no time to exercise.. increase _____ and ___ for a short duration.
intensity; frequency
Eating phases
- feasting
- fasting
- starvation
feasting
when a person overeats
- carbohydrates get broken down into glucose and then ends up in the liver and muscle as glycogen stores or can also end up as body fat stores
- fats get broken down in the body to fatty acids and then end up as body fat stores
- protein gets broken down in the body as amino acids which first replaces body protein and then end up as body fat stores and nitrogen lost in the urine
fasting
lack of food intake for 12-24 hours
- liver and muscle glycogen stores is broken down into glucose to make energy/ATP
- body fat is broken down into fatty acids and used to make energy/ATP
starvation
no glycogen stores; fasting continues even after depletion of glycogen stores
- body protein (muscle) is broken down into amino acids which results in glucose, nitrogen and some ketones lost in the urine, to help make ATP/energy
- body fat stores get broken down into fatty acids which releases some ketones as well as producing energy/ATO
