Q

what is the process of ATP synthesis in the ATP-PC system

A
  • ATP is broken down for immediate energy release by ATPase
  • when ATP stores deplete, PC will be broken down via enzyme creatine kinase
  • As the bond between phosphate and creatine breaks, energy is released
  • this energy is used in the endothermic reaction to rejoin the phosphate to ADP to form ATP (Energy + Phosphate + ADP -> ATP)

Q

what is the process of the glycolytic system

A
  • when ATP is broken down for a immediate energy release, ADP levels in the blood increase
  • PFK is released and begins to breakdown free glucose for energy
  • when glucose levels deplete, GPP is released and begins to break down stored glycogen into glucose
  • when glucose is broken down, it produces 2 molecules of pyruvic acid alongside 2 molecules of ATP
  • LDH will break down pyruvic acid into lactic acid
  • this causes OBLA alongside fatigue and muscle cramps

alactacid component / fast component

41
Q

what occurs during the alactacid /fast component of EPOC

A

as soon as ATP / PC stores begin to complete, this stage will begin as long as body is below LA threshold

- removal of waste products like LA,CO2
- returns hormones to resting levels
- returns enzymes to resting levels

46
Q

what is the process of LA removal during stage 2 of EPOC

A
  • using oxygen, lactic acid is converted back into pyruvate acid

- less cramps & fatigue’s less

57
Q

explosive & strength based exercise- 1:3 to give sufficient time for ATP & PC stores to replenish

HI muscular endurance - 1:2 to continue training hut encourage LA accumulation to increase tolerance & buffering capacity

aerobic capacity / endurance - 1:1 / 1:0.5 to promote adaptations, delay OBLA and muscle fatigue

58
Q

what are the implications of game tactics & strategies on training

A
  • time cuts and subs : allow 30 second relief intervals for 50% ATP & PC stores replenishment
  • performers delay play with maintaining possession (time wasting)
59

A
  • helps maximise fuel stores
  • delays fatigue, release of LA
  • speeds up recovery
60
Q

what is altitude

A

the height or elevation of an area above sea level

61
Q

what is humidity

A

the amount of water vapour in the atmospheric air

62
Q

what are the effects of altitude on a performer

A
  • as altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases therefore less available oxygen
  • partial pressure of oxygen decreases at altitudes above 1500m (40mmHg starting point)
  • due to decrease in ppo2, the rate of oxygen diffusion decreases due to conc gradient reducing
  • reduced haemoglobin saturation levels therefore less o2 transported in blood therefore less o2 available for energy production

what are the immediate effects of altitude on a performers cardiovascular system

A
  • increased heart rate
  • decrease in stroke volume
  • decrease in maximal cardiac output
  • decrease in blood / plasma volume

  • decrease in diffusion gradient (blood to muscles)
64
Q

what are the immediate effects of altitude on a performers respiratory system

A
  • increased breathing frequency / rate
  • decreased tidal volume
  • decreased ppo2 in inspired air (breaths are less efficient due to less available o2)
  • decreased o2 diffusion / gradient from alveoli to blood
65

A

the process whereby an athlete gradually adapts to a change in their environment

66
Q

what are the time periods of acclimatisation for different altitudes

A

low ( 1000-2000m): 3-5 days
moderate ( 2000m-3000m) : 1-2 weeks
high (3000m+) : 2+ weeks
extreme (5000m+): 4+ weeks

67
Q

what are the adaptations caused by the acclimatisation process

A
  • increased release of EPO by the kidney
  • increased red blood cell (count/size)

68
Q

what is thermoregulation

A

the process of maintaining internal core temperature

69
Q

what are thermoreceptors

A

receptors that detect a change in temperature

70
Q

how does heat effect hydration

A
  • sweating can lead to heat loss therefore fluid loss
    -> fluid not replaced = dehydration
  • dehydration can stop the body’s ability to thermoregulate, resulting in a core temperature rise
71
Q

how does humidity affect rate of heat loss through sweat

A

low humidity: increased humidity
high humidity: decreased sweating & cooling rate takes longer

72
Q

how much fluid can you lose by exercising in heat

A

2-3L per hour

73
Q

how does heat effect/cause hyperthermia during exercise

A
  • high/prolonged exercise intensities
  • high air temperature
  • high relative humidity
74
Q

what is hyperthermia

A

a significant rise in core body temperature

75
Q

how is cardiovascular drift caused due to exercising in heat

A
  • increased rate of muscular contraction and chemical reactions that produce metabolic heat
  • heat cannot be removed quickly to maintain core body temperature
  • the athletes body redirects blood to skin for cooling, reducing the blood flow to working muscles
  • rising core temperature alters the function of enzymes &receptors, affecting chemical reactions
76
Q

what is the effect of heat & humidity on the cardiovascular system

A

dilation of arteries & capillaries to the skin
- increases blood flow & blood pooling in the limbs
decreased blood volume, VR, SV, Q & BP
- increased HR to compensate
- increased strain on CV system
- reduced oxygen transport to working muscles

77
Q

what is the effect of heat & humidity on the respiratory system

A

dehydration & drying of airways in temperature above 32ºC, making breathing difficult:
- increased mucus production
- constriction of airways
- decreased volume of air for gaseous exchange

Increased BF to maintain O2 conmsumption

high levels of sunlight increase the effect of pollutants in the air :
- irritation increases in airways, resulting in coughing, wheezing & asthma symptoms

78
Q

strategies to minimise a decrease in performance in heat & humidity (pre competition)

A

acclimatisation for 7-14 days
- increases plasma volume
- increases onset& rate of sweating
- increases the efficiency of the Q distribution
- decreases loss of electrolytes within sweat, limiting fatigue & cramps
- decreases HR at given pace & temp

use cooling aids (ie ice vests) to reduce core temp and delay effect of high temps & dehydration

79
Q

strategies to minimise a decrease in performance in heat & humidity (during competition)

A
  • using pacing strategies to alter goals & reduce the feeling of exertion
  • wear suitable clothing that maximise heat loss by removing sweat from skin quickly
  • rehydrate frequently with a hypotonic/isotonic solution
80
Q

strategies to minimise a decrease in performance in heat & humidity (post competition)

A
  • cooling aids to return to core temperature gradually
  • rehydrate using isotonic solutions
