(185 cards)
how many days can a 65kg person could endure forced starvation (resting/minimal activity)?
10-12 days with minimal activity
40-50 resting
where is the energy in the body derived from and what is the end result
the energy in the human body is derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
the end result of this breakdown is production of ATP
all the chemical reactions in the body require? the sum of these reactions is
they all require free energy and the sum is called metabolism
3 metabolic pathways to supply ATP to the muscle
Anaerobic (without oxygen)
1) alactic system (phosphocreatine)
2) lactic system
aerobic (with oxygen)
-3)oxygen system
phosphocreatine system, location, duration/ recovery, byproducts,
located in sacroplasm
simplest, fastest, high energy in short time
PC+ ADP—-> ATP+ creatine
free energy for muscle contraction (75% of energy as heat)
provides rapid supply of ATP as PC stored in the muscle
limited stores, but quick recovery (3 min)
lasts less than 10–12 seconds
no byproducts
Lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis) location, primary energy source, by products, duration/ recovery
located in sacroplasm
anaerobic breakdown of glucose
called anaerboic glycolysis
occurs in the sacrooplasm of muscle cell
does not require oxygen
pyruvate converted into lactic acid
provides energy as long as stores remain (20 sec to 3 min)
recovery 2 hours
glycolysis (anaerobic), energy yield,
a biochemical process that releases energy in the form of ATP from glycogen and glucose
lysis- breakdown of glyco
anaerobic process
the products of glycolysis (2 molecules of ATP, 2 molecules of pyruvate)
what is the primary source of substrates
carbs
oxygen system, location, primary energy source, byproducts
occurs in the mitochondria of muscle cell
about 300 per cell
primary energy source: glucose/glycogen (plus fats)
energy yield: 36 ATP
no lactic acid
18x more ATP per unit of glucose as anaerobic metabolism (was 2 ATP)
glycolysis (aerobic system)
in the presence of O2 no lactic acid produced
pyruvic acid enters the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain
without the presence of O2 lactic acid goes into the Cori cycle
cori cycle
lactic acid is taken to the liver to be metabolized back into pyruvic acid and then glucose
krebs cycle and cori cycle
biochemical processes used to resyntheisze ATP by combining ADP and P in the presence of oxygen
takes place in the mitochondrian
energy yield:
1 molecule of glucose is 36 ATP
1 molecule fat is up to 460 ATP
aerobic oxidative system
most important energy system in the body
blood lactate levels remain low
primary source of energy for exercise that is lasting longer than 10 min
substrates for the aerobic system/ utilization
carbohydrates (glucose.glycogen) and fats (triglycerides and fatty acids)
at rest: CHO and fats 50:50 for energy
max short duration exercise: nearly all CHO
mild to intense exercise: more cho than fat
prolonged, less intense exercise: more fat
interval training vs sprint training
interval training
20% increase in CP (creatine phosphate)
no change in ATP stores
increase in ATPase function
increase in enzyme function
sprint training
increaser in CP stores up to 40%
100% increase in resting ATP stores
how does training effect energy systems
increases in aerobic capacity due to primarily to: strength increases
greater tolerance to increased acidity
effect of training on anaerobic glycolytic system
lactic acid accumulation is a limiting factor in performance
rate of accumulation can be decreased by reducing the rate of lactate production, increasing the rate of lactate elimination
anaerobic threshold
the exercise intensity at which lactic acid begins to accumulate within the blood
the point during exercise where the person feels discomfort and burning sensations in their muscles
higher in trained individuals
aerobic power or VO2 max
evaluated by maximal volume of oxygen that can be consumed per kilogram of mass in a given time
factors that contribute to a high aerobic power
arterial oxygen content: depends on adequate ventilation and the O2 carrying capacity of the blood
cardiac output: Q= HR X Stroke volume
increased by elevation of the work of heart and increased peripheral blood flow
tissue oxygen extraction (a-VO2 difference): depends upon the rate of O2 diffusion from capillaries and the rate of O2 utilization
training the aerobic system
endurance training increases the max aerobic power of a invidual by 15-25% regardless of age
genetics play a role in adaptation
older people adapt slower
max aerobic power (Max VO2) peaks at 18-25
how does training affect “energy systems”
increases in aerobic capacity due to:
oxidative enzyme increase
increase glycogen stores
oxygen delivery capacity increased
increased triglyceride storage (fat) in muslce cells and increase in use of fat
cardio system
m
the primary roles of the cardiovascular system
1) to trasport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
2) to transport Co2 from the tissues to the lungs
3) to trasnsport nutrients from the digestive system to other areas in the body
4) to trasnport waste products from the sites of production to sites of excretion
