Q

what is obla and what does it stand for

A

this is the anaerobic threshold to aerobic- the point where there is not enough oxygen to remove lactate.
Onset
Blood
Lactate
Accumulation

it starts before vo2 max meaning anaerobic systems are turned on before aerobic max out

it happens at 60 % of a persons vo2 max in a healthy untrained subject but happens at 80% for highly trained.

what is ATP

A

Adenosine triphosphate is located in the muscles and it is the energy currency of the cells and it contains 3 phosphrates in which are classed as high energy bonds.

Q

what happens during the breakdown of ATP

A

a phosphate splits breaking off and leaves creating energy for a contraction. it leaves it as adrenaline diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate

it starts as adrenaline triphosphate (ATP) then it go to adrenaline diphosphate (ADP to + inorganic phosphate +P to producing energy.

Q

how long does ATP last for ?

A

during max intensity exercise it can only sustain energy for 2-3 seconds so to continually create energy for muscular contraction it needs to be resynthesized for ATP to be reformed again from ADP

Q

what happens in the aerobic system

A
  1. glycogen gets converted in to glucose before it gets broken down in to pyruvic acid where glycolysis happens (this all takes place in the sarcoplasm of the cell)
  2. then it gets combined with O2 going to Acetyl COA then goes down to the mitochondria in to the citric acid due to the oxaloacetic which is needed to break glycogen down.
  3. if oxygen is present pyruvic acid combines with oxygen and enters the kreb cycle where the stages oxidation of citric acid, production of CO2 and resynthesise of ATP occurs and forms an electron transport chain.

this system can generate up to 38 mols of ATP from 1 mol of glucose

oxygen is still available

Q

what is the ATP-PC anaerobic system ?

A
  1. phosphocreatine is stored within the muscle (pc)
  2. creatine and phosphate is broken
  3. PC becomes P + C via the enzyme creatine kinase
  4. the energy released when this chemical bond is broken is used to reform ADP + P to ATP
  5. this process is known as a coupled reaction since the energy released from the PC is coupled with the energy demands of ADP to reform ATP

the stores of pc in the muscles is enough to sustain effort for around 10 seconds.

Q

what is the anaerobic glycotic system

A
  1. one molecule of glucose creates sufficient energy to resynthesize 3 moles of ATP
  2. however this process uses up energy so only 2 moles of ATP are actually reformed
  3. this is a very inefficient system as only 5% of the potential energy from the glucose is retrieved
  4. but as of the absence of O2 it is the only system after PC levels have diminished that can regenerate ATP
  5. lactate and hydrogen ions are produced

A

it’s caused when you don’t get enough oxygen straight away. worked out by the difference between the O2 required for a given work rate and the O2 actually consumed

Q

what fuels aerobic and anaerobic energy systems

A

-fat is stored in the adipose tissue in the form of triglycerides, some are also stored in the muscles and the blood too.
- the triglycerides break down and enter the krebs cycle where a lot of energy get’s released

24
Q

what is beta oxidation

Study These Flashcards
A

this is the breakdown of fat but it can’t be broken down without glucose as oxaloacetic acid is from there so lactic acid won’t be reached

25
what is vo2 max
this is the maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up and utilized by the muscles per minute, an individuals vo2 max determines your endurance performance. metres per minute
26
what tests exist to vo2 max
bleep test, cooper run, gas analysis
27
what are the limiting factors that prevent the body from using more and more oxygen
- heart rate will max out - stroke volume will only increase to a certain level - breathing rate will max out - tidal volume will max out - there's a fixed number of mitochondria, RBC and myoglobin
28
what is the difference between an indirect and direct test ?
indirect tests are a estimate and a direct test is directly measured.
29
what is the gold standard direct test for vo2 max
cycle ergometry is the gold standard for vo2 max testing and it measures your inhaled and exhaled oxygen during maximal exercise
30
when submaximal exercise begins from a resting position why may all 3 energy nechanisms operate ?
At the start of submaximal exercise, there’s a sudden rise in oxygen demand. The cardiovascular and respiratory systems take time to respond, causing an oxygen deficit. During this time, anaerobic systems (ATP-PC and glycolytic) provide energy until the aerobic system catches up to meet demand.
31
what is the energy continuum
continual movement between and combining energy systems.
32
what does epoc stand for
Excess Post exercise Oxygen Consumption
33
what is oxygen dept
this is the amount of O2 consumed during recovery above which normally would've been consumed at rest at the same period of time. it is used to compensate for the deficit
34
what oxygen is used to restore phosphocreatine
alactacid debt and it takes approximately 2-3 minutes to resynthesise it. it is a rapid process which involves the conversion of ADP to ATP, this is achieved by using the aerobic system where ATP and PC stores are replenished
35
what oxygen is used to remove lactic acid from the muscles (lactate HOH)
lactacid debt- this process takes approximately 1 hour but it can be accelerated by undertaking a cool down or some form of exercise recovery.
36
when lactic acid gets oxidised what does it go to
CO2 and H2O-65% glycogen- 20% protein-10% glucose-5%
37
what are epocs 2 depts
alactic lactacid -fast -slow -2-3mins -1 hour -pc -glycotic
38
what are exercises recovery
this involves the idea of the protein and carbohydrate window. protein has a 48 hour window opportunity however carbohydrates have a 2 hour window opportunity.
39
what is the window of opportunity
this is the time immediately following exercise when your body is extra responsive to nutrition.
40
what happens when restoring muscle glycogen stores
Glycogen is depleted during exercise and can take up to 2 days to fully restore. Eating a high-carb meal within 2 hours after exercise speeds up glycogen resynthesis.
41
what is carbs 2 hour window
this states within the 2 hours of exercise a high carb meal should be taken. The 2-hour carb window boosts glycogen resynthesis as insulin sensitivity is high and muscle membranes become more permeable allowing faster glucose uptake and activates enzymes that convert glucose to glycogen helping replenish muscle and liver stores, aiding recovery and reducing EIMD and DOMS.
42
what is the proteins 48 hour window (growth and repair)
Protein synthesis increases after exercise but only for a limited time—typically 24–48 hours. To maximise growth and repair, the body needs regular protein intake to supply enough amino acids during this window. so after a good training session it might mean its wasted if you don't eat properly for 24-48 hours
43
define thermoregulation
this is the temperature regulation and cooling
44
examine how the slow component of recovery returns the body to homeostasis
The slow component of recovery includes key processes such as the oxidation of lactate, the replenishment of glycogen and ATP stores, and muscle repair. The 2-hour and 48-hour nutritional windows are critical, as carbohydrate intake helps restore glycogen, while protein supports muscle repair and growth. These processes take time and are essential for full recovery. Additionally, exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) must be considered, as they can delay the return to homeostasis.
45
what is the effect of lactate and hydrogen ions on the body
1. it goes into the blood 2. the body can't maintain the same level of intense 3. your body forces you to take a break before lactic acid levels become dangerous 4. halt muscle function 5. slow down enzyme activity
46
what does bicarbonate buffering
this removes the lactate and neutralises the acidity allowing you to perform for longer periods however it can cause bloating and sickness
47
what is the priming effect
The priming effect suggests that starting intense exercise without a warm-up delays the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to muscles efficiently. A proper warm-up speeds up this process, allowing oxygen to reach muscles sooner and reducing temporary oxygen debt during the race or workout.
