Anaerobic Power Flashcards
1
Q
Define anaerobic power
A
The maximal amount of energy that can be generated by the anaerobic energy systems per unit of time.
2
Q
Name 2 anaerobic energy systems
A
Glycolytic energy system
ATP-PCr energy system
3
Q
ATP hydrolysis
A
Enzyme: ATPase
Releases 7.3 Kcal/mol energy
4
Q
Glycolytic system:
A
Substrate= glycogen
Glycogen—>2 Lactate +2H ions +3ATP
Up to 3 minutes of exercise
5
Q
Tests of anaerobic power
A
Wingate test
Margaria stairs test
6
Q
Wingate power test
A
Usually done on a bike
5 minute warm up cycle
30 seconds maximal cycle with 10% additional weight added where power output is recorded
Cool down period
System contributions:
25% ATP-PCr, 60% Glycolytic
