Metabolic Rate (After Midterm) Flashcards
(191 cards)
what is the oxygen transport system
pulmonary ventilation
hemoglobin concentration
blood volume and cardiac output
peripheral blood flow
aerobic metabolism
what are cardiovascular adaptations to exercise training over a prolonged period of time
increase ejection
increase contractility
increased blood volume
what are the two types of muscle fibers
slow twitch
fast twitch
what are slow twitch fibers (what type is it)
type 1
low glycolytic capacity
aerobic capacity
30-40% increase in enzyme concentration in krebs cycle and beta oxidation
capillary density
what are fast twitch fibers
type 2
atp and cp concentration are about 60-70% . type 2
higher rates of atp production are aided by about 30% . mak ck
what is the difference between type 2a and type 2x
type 2a
- med glycolytic and aerobic capacity
- fast oxidative glycolytic
type 2x
- highest glycolytic capacity
- fast glycolytic
muscle fiber and MHC are not the only factors that influence muscle performance
if endurance is the goal, MHC it would be ideal if all else was equal
if speed was the goal, MHC 2a or 2x would be ideal if all else was equal
an unequal state would be (how it affects how efficient their running is)
- biomechanics of movement
bigger motor nerons
turn on slower
if you want maximal force of a muscle what motor nerons do you want
a massive rate coding of ALL motor neurons
if you want to create force in a motor unit and fire one motor neuron then
it is an all or none principle they all turn on
trainability of aerobic system at the muscle level
oxygen utilization
after training
- krebs cycle enzyme succinate dehydrogenase increases 133%!
- muscle fibers fast twitch has a small decrease and the slow twitch has a small increase
- glycolytic enzymes PFK has no change but phosphorylase increases 60%
- and mitochondria number increases 103% and the volume increases 272%
what are the three methods to determine the human energy expenditure
direct and indirect calorimetry
doubly labeled water
heart rate
all of the bodys metabolic processes result in ___ production
heat
the rate of heat production operationally defines the rate of
energy metabolism
what is the basic unit of heat measurement
calorie
what are the direct calorimetry methods
human calorimetry airflow calorimetry water flow calorimetry gradient layer calorimetry storage calorimetry
why is the direct calorimetry not practical
large expense and resource
indirect calorimetry as a closed system is used how
all energy releasing reactions in humans depend on oxygen use, so measuring oxygen consumption during physical activities provides an indirect yet accurate estimate of energy expenditure
participant breaths into and out of a closed system
- breath in 100% o2 from container (spirometer)
- canister of soda lime absorbs co2
- revolving drum; records o2 removed
indirect calorimetry as an open system works how
ambient air
- 20.93% oxygen
- o.o3% carbon dioxide
- 79.04% nitrogen
factors
- volume
composition
3 techniques
- bag technique
- computerized instrumentation (met cart)
- portable spirometry
what is the bag technique
an indirect open system calorimetry technique used how
air is collected in a large bag (douglas bag)
small saple is measured for gas concentrations
what is the portable spirometry
an indirect open system calorimetry technique
spirometer is small and is carries in a pack
air volume is metered
sample is collected to measure concentrations of gases
what is the RER
the respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio between the amount of carbon dioxide produced in metabolism and oxygen used to create energy from lipid and CHO fuel sources in the body
RQ is equal to
co2 eliminated / o2 consumed
the respiratory exchange ratio reflects the ratio of co2 produced to o2 consumed when factors other then food combustion alter the
exchange of 02 and co2 in the lungs as the ratio of gas exchange no longer reflects only the substrate mixture pf energy metabolism
(computed the same as RQ)
