Acute Responses + Muscular System Flashcards
What does the muscular system consist of
Muscles
State the intramuscular fuel stores in muscles
PC, Muscular ATP and Glycogen
What happens to intramuscular fuel stores in an acute response?
Decrease in intramuscular fuel stores
Which fuel stores decrease depend on situation
Never Depletes
What happens to muscular temperature in an acute response?
Increase in muscular temperature
What is the purpose of increased muscular temperature
Increased muscular elasticity allowing stretching of muscles
What happens to muscle enzyme activity?
Increased muscle enzyme activity
What is the purpose of increased muscle enzyme activity?
Faster and higher rate of fuels being broken down by muscular enzymes for energy production
What happens to metabolic by product production in an acute response?
Increase in metabolic by products such as Hydrogen ions
State the two Neural Adaptations
- Increased motor unit recruitment
- Increased rate of motor unit recruitment
What does increased motor unit recruitment mean?
Amount/number of motor units being recruited increases
What does increased rate of motor unit recruitment mean?
The speed at which motor units get recruited
