prevent free radical damage; induced by exercise
26
what is hormeisis
proper amount of stress/exercise for the body; dose response relationship between creation ROS and regneration
27
what does hormeisis cause in the body; what if youre outside of hormeisis
decreased overall ROS; increased antioxidatn sstimulation, increased actiivty of anitoxidant enzymes, decreased oxidative damage, increased oxidative repair, increased resistance to oxidative stress too much or too little = oppostive of all these things
28
is all ROS bad?
no, leads to creation of new more robust organelles
29
what is cytochrome C in ETC limited by
antioxidants, ibuprofen
30
sources of free radicals in skeletal muscle during exercise
mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, transverse tubules, plasma membrane, xanthine oxidase, phospholipase A2 oxidase
31
what three factors occur in muscles increase during rest to exercise transitions
rate of cross bridge cycling recruitment of motor units recruitment of different fiber types
32
what are the main factors that support increase ATP needs during rest to exercise transitions
increased ventilation, increased cardiac output, vasodilation to working muscles, increased CA++ release in muscle/uptake by SR, increased myoglobin shuttling
33
energy systems and times of exericse they occur
ATP stores = 2s ATP-PC = 2-20 seconds Glycolysis = < 45 seconds Oxidative phosphorylation = > 45 seconds
34
o2 deficit
difference between oxyen uptake in the first few minutes of exericse ad an qual time period after steady statee has been obtained
35
what is accumulation of lactate dependent on
rate of glycolysis oxidative enzyme activity cellular O2 level net rate of La infflux vs efflux if lactate and pyruvate are in equilibrium, glycolysis progresses
36
what is EPOC
excess post exercise oxygen consumption
37
what occurs during the rapid portion of EPOC
resynthesis of stored PC replenishing of muscle and blood O2 stores
38
what occurs during slow portion of EPOC
elevated HR and BR = energy need elevated body temp = increased metabolic rate Elevative EPI and NOREPI = increased metabolic rate conversion of lactate to glucose (gluconeogensis)
39
what percent of elevated o2 consumption is used for gluconeogenesis
20%
40
what percents of lactate get turned into what post exercise
70% is oxidized by cells (used a substrate fo heart, brain, skseltal muscle) 20% converted to glucose 10% converted amino acids
41
what is the Q-10 effect
increased metabolic rate from increased body temperature
42
what is VO2 drift and what scenarios cause it; what are the processes that effect it
slow increase in VO2 during prolonged exercise at >75% VO2 or in hot or humid conditions shifts in energy source; change in body heat; change in muscle fibre recruitment, circulating catecholamines, and insulin starts changing (hormonal control of exercise)
43
what is RER
respiratory exchange ratio (VCO2/VO2) >1 - anaerobic component, mostly carb 1.0 = aerobic, all carb 0.7 = aerpbic, all fat 0.85 = 50/50 carb/fat aerobnic
44
lactate threshold; what is it cause by
point at which lactate start rapidly accumulating in the blood low muscle oxygen, reduce rate of lactate removal, accelerated glycolysis due to EPI levels, recruitment of fast twitch fibres (anaerobic dominant)
45
what is onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)
rapidly increasing blood lactate levels nearly purely anaerobic production around 4mmol of lactate concentration in the blood RER > 1
46
what is the cross over mechanism and what mechaisms is it caused by
increase in intensity = decrease in fat usage at 30% VO2 max = fats are primary energy source at 70% VO2 max = carbs are primary energy source mechanisms = recruitment of fast twitch fibres (contain glycolytic but not lipolytic enzymes); increasing blood EPI (increases glycogen breakdown)
47
what occurs to the RER in prolonged (greater than 30 mins exercise) at 40-50% VO2 max; what is the mechanism; how to change this
R decreases, meaning fats slowly become the more dominant fuel source fat metabolism is regulated by fat breakdown triglycerides are broken down into FFA and glycerol by lipases lipases are stimulated by EPI, NOREPI and glucagon EPI rises during prolonged exercise, increasing lipase activity mobilization of FFAs is inhibted by insulin and lactate in the blood eating a high CHO meal or snack 30 to 60 mins prior to exercis stimulates insulin, increasing blood glucose levels and diminishing lipolysis, thus increasing the usage of CHO
48
rate of glycogen depletion is based on
exercise intensity
49
what is order of sources of fuel used in the body + when are each preferred
muscle glycogen liver glycogen to replace blood glucose blood gucose preferred in low intensity and glycogen preferred in high intensity muscle glycogen preferredin first hour, blood glucose used after that
50
glycogen depletion does what to glycolytic rate
slows it down
51
what occurs in the liver during fasted training
liver glycogen altered enhances genes linked to substrate utilization and mitochondrial functon
52
what impacts does sleep low train low have
improves gene expression (PGC-1a etc) improves fat oxidation - similar to gene expression improved cycling efficiency and TT performance
53
airflow =
P1-P2/Resistance
54
Pulmonary Ventilation
V = volume of gas; volume as a rate of a time Vt= Tial volume F = frequency of breathing
55
alveolar ventilation is
getting air to gas exchange locations
56
what is Vd
Ventilatory dead space
57
Alveolar ventilation is (formula)
Va = Vt - Vd
58
what is the formula for pulmonary health test
FEV1/Vc
59
what is the healthy pulmonary test % what about COPD
Healthy = 80% COPD = 33% FEV1/Vc
60
what is the percentage of each gas in the atmosphere
N= 79.04% O2 =20.93% CO2 = 0.03%
61
Law of Partial Pressure
% of gas in atmosphere determines pressure of that gas. Multuply the pressure of gas by the fraction it is present.
62
Ficks law of diffusion
V gas = A/T x D x (P1-P2) A = area T = thickness D = diffusion constant () = pressure difference
63
Henry's Law states that dissolution of gases in blood is impacted by, what is the biggest impact
temperature, paartial pressure, solubility. Partial pressure
64
up to what percentage of VO2 max do we get good perfusion matching
up to 60-70% of Vo2 max
65
Airflow equation
P1-P2/Resistance
66
Pulmonary venitlation equation
V = Vt x F
67
what does a ventilation perfusion ratio of 1;1 mean. What is acronym ratio
it means that blood flow to the lungs is perfectly matched to air flow. THis means we have the most efficient gas exchange. V/Q
68
how does light and moderate exercise effect the V/Q relationship
light and moderate exercise improves it, heavy exercise results in a small V/Q inequality and htis is a minor impairment in gas exchange
69
what percentage of O2 is transported in teh blood and bound to Hb
99%
70
how is CO2 transported in the blood
10% dissolved in plasma 20% in Hb 70% as bicarbonate in the blood (buffer against acid)
71
when does ventilatory threshold occur and does it occur with lactate threshold
occurs between 50-75% VO2 max, when ventilation begins to rise exponentially does not always occur at same time as lactate threshold
