AOS3 Unit 3 Flashcards
Carbohydrates (consumed travel and stored)
travel in blood as glucose, stored in muscle as glycogen and used during exercise.
Fats (consumed travel and store)
travels in blood as free fatty acids, stored in muscle as triglycerides, the preferred fuel at rest.
Protein (consumed travel and stored)
Travels in blood as Amino Acids, stored in muscle as amino acids.
Chemical fuel
Phospho-creatine
Carbohydrates (food examples)
Pasta, Lollie’s, white rice, grain bread
Fats (food examples)
Butter, avocado, cheese and oil
Protein (food examples)
Red meat, chicken, lentils and eggs
High GI Foods function
Release glucose into the bloodstream rapidly increasing blood glucose and insulin levels, consume post exercise
Low GI Foods function
Release glucose slowly into the bloodstream, helping stabilize blood glucose during exercise.
Gycaemic Index
Provides an indicator of how quickly glucose is broken down and released into the blood stream over a 2 hour period of time.
Chemical Breakdown of ATP
ATP -> ADP + Pi + energy
Is the ATP- PC system anaerobic or aerobic?
Anaerobic
Intensity %HRM of ATP-PC
95-100%
Fuel of ATP-PC
Creatine Phosphate
Rate of ATP resynthesis of ATP-PC
very rpid
Capacity of ATP-PC
10 seconds
Yield of ATP-PC
<1 ATP low
Fatigue mechanism of atp-pc
CP depletion
recovery strategy for atp-pc
passive recovery
is atp-pc finite or infinite?
finite
example activities using atp-pc system
long jump, weightlifting
Rates of PC replenishment
30 seconds = 70% PC
60 seconds = 87% PC
3 minutes = 98% PC
How do I train the ATP-PC system?
1) have a 1:5 work to rest ratio
2) 3 minute passive recovery
3) change amount of reps
Is the anaerobic system anaerobic or aerobic?
Anaerobic
