Q

energy from atp

A

energy is released by breaking down bonds via enzymes
-atp-ase breaks down atp into adp and pi

adp needs to be resynthesised either using food or phosphocreatine

Q

fast twitch fibres - atp generation

A

fast twitch fibres recruited for high intensity - anaerobic resp

  • main pathway for atp production is lactate anaerobic system (during glycolysis)
  • atp production with no oxygen is not as efficient (2 mols)
  • production is fast but cant last for long as fatigue quickly

Q

submaximal oxygen deficit

A

at the start of exercise there isnt enough oxygen available to provide all energy aerobically so its provided anaerobically to satisfy the increased demand for energy

Q

fast replenishment stage

Study These Flashcards
A

restoration of atp
-takes up to 2 mins and uses 0.5 l of oxygen

restoration of phosphocreatine stores
-complete re-saturation takes up to 3 mins but 50% of stores replenished after 30 seconds

re-saturation of myoglobin with oxgen

18
Q

slow replenishment stage

Study These Flashcards
A

removal of lactic acid
-5/6 litres of oxygen in 30 mins - 50% of lactic acid removed

maintenance of breathing and heart rate

glycogen replenishment

increase in body temp

19
Q

removal of lactic acid

Study These Flashcards
A
  • oxidisation into co2 and water in inactive muscles to be used as energy
  • transported into liver vid blood then converted into glucose
  • converted into protein
  • removed in sweat and urine
  • oxidisation in mitochondria so cool down helps flushing through
20
Q

cori cycle

Study These Flashcards
A

the process where lactic acid is transported in the blood to the liver where it is converted into blood glucose and glycogen

21
Q

maintenance of breathing and heart rate

Study These Flashcards
A

requires extra oxygen for energy for respiratory and heart muscles

extra oxygen used to replenish ATP + phosphocreatine stores

22
Q

glycogen replenishment

Study These Flashcards
A

30 mins post ex: carbs and protein in 3:1 or 4:1

1-3 hours post ex: meal high in protein, carb and healthy fat

23
Q

increase in body temp

Study These Flashcards
A

higher temp leads to higher respiratory rates = more oxygen

24
Q

lactate accumulation

Study These Flashcards
A
  • as lactate accumulates in muscles, more hydrogen ions are present
  • acidity is increased slowing down enzyme activity
  • glycogen breakdown affected leading to muscle fatigue
  • lactate diffuses into blood and level can be measured
25
factors affecting lactate accumulation
-exercise intensity higher the intensity of exercise faster obla occurs -muscle fibre type slow twitch fibres produce less lactate - glycogen broken down effectively -rer ratio of close to 1.0 means more lactate will accumulate -rate of blood lactate removal the slower the removal rate the more lactate will accumulate -fitness of performer fitter performer can delay obla by increasing mito & myo to use aerobic system
26
obla
the point where the lactate levels go above 4 millimoles per litre
27
lactate threshold
the point when lactate starts rapidly accumulating in the blood - percentage of vo2 max (average 50-60) - fitter you are the higher your lactate threshold percentage is
28
vo2 max
the maximum amount of oxygen that can be utilised by the muscles per minute -largely genetically determined
29
buffering
process which aids the removal of lactate and maintains acidity levels in the blood and muscle -athletes can work at higher intensities for longer before fatigue
30
indirect calorimetry
measures how much carbon dioxide is produced and how much oxygen is consumed at rest and during exercise precise calculation of vo2 max (max amount of oxygen muscles can use in 1 min)
31
lactate sampling
blood samples taken at progressive levels to analyse lactic acid levels when lactic acid reaches 4 mmols = lactate threshold obla score written as a % of your VO2 max useful for endurance athletes
32
vo2 max test
bleep test - 12 min copper run - direct gas analysis exercise is performed (on ergometer?) increasing gradually, concentration of oxygen inspired and concentration of co2 expired recorded athlete is considered to have reached their VO2 max: a plateau or 'peaking over' in oxygen uptake, maximal heart rate reached, attainment of a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.15 or greater, and exhaustion
33
respiratory exchange ratio
ratio of carbon dioxide produced compared to oxygen consumed calculates energy expenditure and info about carbs and fats used rer closer to 1 - using carbs rer of 0.7 - using fats rer greater than 1 - anaerobic respiration
34
altitude training
done at 2500 above sea level where partial pressure is lower - body to produces greater amounts of EPO (erythropoietin) in the kidneys, - increase in red blood cells produced - when the athlete competes at sea level - there is a greater amount of oxygen carrying red blood cells available - greater transport of oxygen to the muscles for metabolism
35
altitude training advantages
1. increased number of red blood cells 2. increased concentration of haemoglobin 3. increased blood viscosity 4. increased capillarisation 5. enhanced oxygen transport 6. increased lactate tolerance
36
altitude training disadvantages
1. expensive 2. altitude sickness 3. difficult to train due to lack of oxygen 4. detraining because intensity has to reduce when they first train 5. benefits quickly lost when back at sea level 6. psychological problems when away from home
37
hitt
used for both aerobic and anaerobic training short intervals of maximum intensity followed by recovery interval of low intensity improves fat burning potential, glucose metabolism and an/aerobic endurance
38
plyometrics
repeated rapid stretching and contracting of muscles to increase muscle power (jumping, hopping, bounding) fast twitch fibres -muscles can generate more force if previously stretched stretch shortening cycle: 1.eccentric phase or pre-loading phase: on landing muscle performs eccentric contractions where is lengthens under tension. some energy lost as heat 2. amortisation phase: time between eccentric and concentric contractions. needs to be as short as possible so energy stored from eccentric contraction isnt lost 3. concentric/contraction phase: uses stored energy to increase force of contraction
39
saq
speed is how fast a person can move over a specified distance or how quickly a body part can be put into motion agility is ability to move and position the body quickly whilst controlling it saq aims to improve multi-directional movement through developing neuromuscular system -zigzag runs, foot ladders and passing a ball quickly uses activites performed at maximum force at high speed - anaerobic energy
