what comes out of beta oxidation
NADH, FADH2
for each 18 carbon fatty acid molecule you make what
147 molecules of ADP phospholated to ATP during beta oxidation
longer fatty acid chains go through beta oxidation more times and cut off ___ carbons each time
2 carbon chain
to run the citric acid cycle do you need glucose if you have fats and proteins
yes you need a little bit of glucose to run the citric acid cycle
takes about 30seconds for oxidative phosphorylation to turn on ___%
50%
the grade of a vo2 max test (when the incline increases or when you increase speed)
this increases the work needed
every time you change the grade in a vo2 max
your oxygen kinetics turns up every time the work increases but it takes a little bit of time so there is a lag
faster increase in vo2 in trained state;
increase tight coupling
more mitochondria
increased cardiac output
how do you fuel the work if your oxygen does not keep up
anerobic
have to use other energy pathways
energy debt and has to be payed by phosphocreatine and eventually oxidative phosphorylation turns on to make way more ATP it just takes some time to turn on
mitochondria can only burn at their maximal speed of their
enzymes
fick equation
how much oxygen is delivered and how much is used
when vo2 max happens
you either cant deliver anymore oxygen or you cant (Muscles cant) use any more oxygen or both
lactate stays relatively low in a trained person (don’t have to go into anerobic glycolysis earlier) why
trained person has a bigger cardiac output maybe have some more capillaries so they are able to be delivered more oxygen and they are able to use it faster and better
delay when they start making lactate
trained people are able to make more lactate then untrained people why
trained people have more mitochondria and better vo2maxs
have more enzymes; glycolytic enzymes! (because bigger muscles)
if youre use to having a lot of lactate so you are used to the pain so you can push through it more
have more lactate dehydrogenase
is the lactate threshold is different or the same as the ventilatory threshold
different
recovery after vo2 max
it takes time to restore your oxygen debt so it takes longer to pay it back so you must do light exercise after intense exercise to repay the debt and not pass out
how long does It take to pay back an oxygen debt
at this point your oxidative phosphorylation is going super fast because it takes time to slow down so this oxygen debt can be payed back quickly
can be payed back in 2-4 MINS
unless you are doing super intense exercise for a super long time
what is a calorie or kcal
a measure of heat, expresses a foods energy value
1 kcal equals the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of
1kg of water 1degree Celsius
what is the British thermal unit
1 BTU = quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1lb of water 1 degree F
what is a direct calorimetry
burring food in a bomb calorimeter permits the direct quantification of foods energy content (measured as heat transfer)
heat combustion
heat liberated by oxidizing a specific food
what are the average gross energy values (heat combustion) of carbs, lipids, protein
carbs= 4.2 kcal/g
varies with arrangement of carbohydrate molecule atoms
lipid= 9.4 kcal/g
varies with structural composition of molecules fatty acids
protein= 5.65 kcal/g
affected by protein type and relative N2 content
what is Awater general factors
provides useful estimate of the net energy value of typical foods a person consumes
