Q

What is the direct culprit behind “muscle burn” and short-term fatigue during high intensity exercise?

A

H+ accumulation in the sarcoplasm

20
Q

What is the primary reason why fast eccentric contractions elicit greater force output than fast concentric contractions?

A

Stored elastic energy contributes to the force production of the eccentric contraction

21
Q

What is the potential benefits of a pennated muscle?

A

More cross bridging

Greater force production

22
Q

What do chemoreceptors primarily monitor to help regulate/determine ventilation?

23
Q

Explain how post-activation potentiation PAP works to increase muscle force output.

A

30-sec after a high-intensity muscle contraction the activated motor neurons are more easily excitable

24
Q

For a given submaximal exercise intensity, how would an increase in preload affect cardiac function?

A

Decreased HR

Increase SV

25
What is the primary reason that explains why endurance athletes need a higher VO2max than power-based athletes such as sprinters?
The endurance athlete relies more on mitochondrial respiration
26
How doe creatine supplementation affect the maximum duration of the immediate system
Maximum duration is increased due to increased creatine phosphate storage in the muscle
27
Why does blood doping improve aerobic exercise performance?
Hemoglobin concentration of the blood is increased
28
Explain how both SNS innervation of arteries and EDRFs work together to direct blood flow where it's needed during aerobic exercise.
SNS innervation causes systemic vaso/venoconstriction to help shunt blood away from muscles that are not active EDRF release causes local vaso/venodilation to direct blood toward active muscles
29
Why is it important to convert most of the CO2 that leaves a muscle into HCO3 and and H+ for Hb binding and transport to lungs?
Lots of CO2 can be transported in the blood to the lungs without substantially altering blood pH
30
Explain how both insulin and glucagon work together to mobilize glucose as a fuel source during exercise.
Insulin stimulates muscles to clear glucose from blood to mobilize it for fuel Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis in the liver to mobilize it for fuel
31
Which triggers that stem from heavy use of the immediate system can stimulate enhanced glycolytic activity?
Skeletal muscle contraction | Increased AMP concentrations within the muscle
32
What is the drawback of using the carotid pulse for HR measurement during exercise?
The measured HR will be lower than it should be for a given exercise intensity
33
With regard to the excitation coupling contraction process, what would be the most immediate and direct result/effect if acetylcholine did not bind with nicotinic receptors on the post synaptic membrane?
An action potential would not be generated across the sarcolemma of the muscle fiber
34
What event immediately and directly initiates the power stroke during the sliding filament process?
"None of the above are applicable/correct"
35
How does cardiac output (Q) affect red blood cell transit time during exercise?
Increased Q = faster RBC transit time
36
Indicate the feedback that golgi tendon organs (GTOs) provide to the CNS and the primary response/reflex to that feedback.
Feedback: muscle tension and rate of change in muscle tension Response: agonist muscle relaxation
37
Typically, the partial pressure of inspired oxygen (PIO2) is...
150mmHg
38
What neuromuscular (motor unit) recruitment strategies can be used to increase muscle force output to accomplish a task such as strong man comp stone challenge (increasing weights)
Increased rate coding Increased number of motor units recruited Recruitment of higher order/threshold motor units
39
What is the best recommendation to maximize power output for a given resistance training exercise?
Increase the weight lifted and speed up
40
Within a single heart beat/contraction cycle, which steps occur during pulmonary circuit blood flow following AV node depolarization?
RV depolarizes and contracts and blood flows to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries LV depolarizes and contracts and blood flows into the systemic circulation via the aorta
41
what cardiac event corresponds with the QRS compex?
Atrial repolarization | Ventricular depolarization
42
Explain how the Bhor effect affects gas exchange at the muscles during exercises.
O2 is more easily transferred from Hb in the blood to Mb in the muscles
43
What steps are invoved with the oxygen transport process?
O2 diffuses from alveoli into RBC and binds to HBb Once carried to the muscles, increased 2-3-BPG, H+, CO2, and temperature induce O2 loading into the muscles O2 unloaded into muscles onto Mb for use in mitochondrial respiration
44
Metabolically speaking, which of the following definitions represents lactate threshold?
The point where maximal lactate export out of a cell equals lactate production within a cell
45
Which of the following criteria can be used to validate a successful VO2max test?
Post-test blood lctate of >8 mmol/dL VO2 plateaus or levels out prior to termination of the the test HR is within +/- 5 bpm of the age-predicted maximun
46
What is one advatage of mobilizing carbs as a fuel source instead of lipids?
More powerful/higher intensity
