3.1.1.6 Energy Systems (EPOC, FAST/SLOW COMPONENT ETC) Flashcards
OBLA
onset of blood lactate accumulation
suppress performance
-level of training and lies at 4mmol
% of VO2 max
-measures anaerobic/lactic-aerobic threshold
trained = OBLA at higher intensities & values of VO2 max
power output from trained/untrained people
peak= CK break down quicker = threshold = PC stores delay threshold ( ATP-PC to lactic acid ) trained
VO2 max
maximum amount of O2 you take in & consume in 1 minute
(graph looks like a stair case)
increases proportionally to work intensity (until max)
steady state
-energy supply meets energy demand
demand of body for oxygen is balanced exactly by O2 uptake
fast component/alactacid component
fast replenishment stage
- 3 mins of exercise ending
- 10% of EPOC
- restoration of PC and ATP and muscle phosphates
- rapid (120s till full restoration) 30s = 50% PC
- 2-4 litres of oxygen
- restoration of ox-myoglobin
Muscle Myoglobin
- haemoglobin in muscles
- iron protein molecule in skeletal muscle
- storage site of O2 & carrier (blood-muscle)
- greater affinity for O2
- high intensity
- myoglobin reoxygenated in 2 mins
Recovery process
- interval training
- short interval = level of phosphagen stores gradually reduce
-process = relatively slow (full recovery 1 hr)
-larger amounts of LA = produced in high intensity
(15-20 times resting value of 1-2 mol litre)
3 effects of training on alactacid component
1-increase ATP/PC stores in muscle cells, increase in CK
2-ability to provide O2
3-size of alactic component
Slow component:
-can take up to 24 hrs and involves
- Lactate removal
- Ventilation
- Circulation
- Body temp
4 ways of Lactate removal/Fate of lactic acid
- pyruvic acid = oxidised = re enter Kreb cycle
- converted to glucose/glycogen (cori cycle)
- converted to protein
- sweat/urine
buffering
process that aids removal of lactate & maintains acidity level in blood & muscle
Hydrogen ion increases - intense exercise = haemoglobinic acid
- blood buffer = chemical substance, resists abrupt changes in hydrogen ion concentration
- hydrogen ion reacts with oxyhemoglobin = haemoglobinic acid
effects of cool down on lactic acid removal &;alactacid oxygen recovery:
-cool-down = oxygen skeletal muscle = oxidation of LA
= less muscle soreness
- high intensity = up to 60s = lactic acid
- process begins to restore muscle and liver glycogen
recovery of body stores
- restore muscle glycogen stores
- short/high intensity = up to 2hrs
- prolonged low intensity = take days
- high carbohydrates diet speeds up
- athlete restore stores ASAP activity (20min carb window)
e. g. high CHO loaded drink immediately following exercise
Exercise intensity and implication
- warm up
- eating correct foods
- strategies
- training aerobically = increase anaerobic threshold = reduce l.a training anaerobic = increase ATP &PC =reduce recovery
- work recovery ratio
- cooling
- cool down
6 Factors affecting rate of lactate accumulation:
- Exercise intensity
- Muscle fibre types
- rate of blood lactate removal
- respiratory exchange ratio
- fitness of performer
- mitochondria myoglobin &capillary density
