5 - Energy systems Flashcards

1
Q

What is the sub maximal deficit?

Q

How long does complete restoration of P-C take?

A

3 mins
(50% replenished in 30s but requires 3L of oxygen)

Q

What happens in the Slow component of EPOC?

Q

What should be consumed 30 mins after excersice?

A

Both carbs and proteins in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio
- Helps with glycogen resynthesis

Q

How is lactic acid removed from the body?

A

Lactic acid is converted to pyruvic acid and then CO2 and water
Converted to glucose in liver
or converted into proteins and excreted

15
Q

Describe the process of beta oxidation

A

stored fat is broken down into glyercol +free fatty acids -> undergoes beta oxidation -> converted into acetyl coA -> enters the Kerb cycle

16
Q

Where is fat used as an energy source?

A

In low intensity, long duration excerise

17
Q

How is glycogen restored from lactic acid?

A

Lactic acid converted into glucose + glycogen in the liver via Cori Cycle

18
Q

What is the threshold point?

A

The point at which 1 energy system is exhausted + the body moves into another

19
Q

What is the source of the ATP-PC system?

A

phosphocreatine

20
Q

What is the source of the aerobic energy system

A

Glycogen + free fatty acids

21
Q

What is the source of the Alactic system?

A

Glucose/ glycogen

22
Q

Describe the ATP-PC system

A

Phosphocreatine breaks down into phosphate and creatine
This energy release is used to resynthesise 1 ATP

23
Q

Disadvantages of ATP-PC system

A

PC is limited and only lasts 8-10s in the body
PC takes 2-3 to be replenishedA

24
Q

Advantages of ATP-PC system

A

No harmful waste products
Energy is produced quickly
ATP reysnthesised quickly

25
Describe the Anaerobic Glycotic System
Glucose -> Glucose 6 phosphate -> pyruvic acid -> lactic acid
26
Disadvantages of Alactic energy system
Produces lactic acid
27
Advantages of Alactic energy system
Lasts 2-3 mins (longer than ATP-PC)
28
What are the 3 stages of aerobic respiration?
Glycolysis Kerb cycle Electron transport chain
29
Describe Glycolysis
Occurs in sacroplasm of muscle cell Breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid Resysnthesis 2 ATP
30
Describe the Kreb Cycle
Pyruvic acid oxidises into 2 acetyl groups Combines with oxaloacetic acid to from citric acid Then undergoes oxidative carboxylation 2 ATP
31
Where does the Kreb Cycle happen?
Matric of mitochondria
32
Describe the Electron transport chain
Hydrogen carried to ETC from Kreb cycle Hydrogen spilts into ions +electrons Ions are oxidised to form water Electrons provide energy to resynthesise 34 ATP
33
Where does the ETC take place?
Cristea of mitochondria
34
What is VO2 max?
Maximal volume of oxygen that can be taken up and used by muscles per min
35
Why is a high VO2 max advantageous?
You can consume more oxygen and so will work predominantly in aerobic energy system -> produce less lactic acid
36
How much oxygen do we consume at rest?
0.3-0.4L
37
How much oxygen is consumed during exercise?
3-6L
