background Flashcards
rest exercise transision
- Oxygen uptake increases rapidly (steady within 1-4mins)
- Oxygen deficit- lag in oxygen uptake at begining of ex.
- Suggests anaerobic pathways contribute to total ATP prod
- after steady state is reached ATP requirement is met thru aerobic ATP prod
2 Portions of EPOC
FAST - 20% - resynthesis of stored PC -replenishing muscle + blood O2 stores SLOW -80% -elevated body temp and catecholamines -conversion of lactate and glucose elevated HR and ventilation
Redistribution of blood flow during ex
larger % to muslces
withdrawl of sympathetic vasoconstriction
decrease O2 tension + PH
- increase capillary recruitment
Cardio changes during ex (SBP, SV, CO, HR, AVO2)
SBP - increases
SV- goes up then levels off at 40% because it cant fill w enough blood when pumping fast
CO, HR, AVO2- increases
What 2 things determine magnitude of adaptation following ex
- genetics
2. initial training status
Cardiac adaptations w exercise
- cardiac remodeling- increase ventricular chamber size (fillable volume)
- Complience of heart wall increases (increase EDV and SV)
- Cardiac hypertrophy
Stims that trigger adaptation
Stretch (preload)
Afterload ( concentric hypertrophy)
Neurohumoral
metabolic
Endurance training effect on vasculature
Angiogenesis
- increase # of capillaries
- increase # of capillaries in parallel w eachother
- Increase potential to decrease resistance when there is appropriate vasodialation
- Improved control of vaso dialation and recruitment of capillary netwroks
Effects of having more capillaries
- increase in max skeletal BF
- Increase in surface area for diffusional exchange (increase twists and turns)
- increase in twists + turns help prevent very fast travel of RBC and time for diffusion is maintained
Sarcolemma
outer surface membrane that surrounds entire muscle cell (excitable)
T-Tubules
Invagination of the sarcolemma into the fibres interior along a line vertical to fibre axis
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
- extensive muscle membrane system surrounding myofibril
- plays key role in regulation of intracellular ca (stores and releases)
Steps in excitation contraction coupling
- AP is generated
- Ach is released @ neuromuscular junction
- AP conducted along sarcolemma + into T tubules
- Triggers Ca release from SR
- Ca binds to troponin removing tropomyosin from myosin binding cite on actin
- Power stroke of myosin moves actin
- Excitation stops + Ca is pumped from cytosol back into SR, Ca disociates from troponin
Mitocondrial bigenesis after endurance training
- size and number of mitochondria increase
- more triglyceride storage in muscle
- enhanced FFA delievery to muscle during ex
increase in mitochondral biogenesis after endurance training leads to
increase fat oxidation
-decrease in glycolosys, CHO utalization, PCr hydrolysis, blood lactate accumulation
