Ch 10 (Exam 3) Flashcards
Fitness
ability to perform routine physical activity without undue fatigue
Aerobic metabolism
- Uses Oxygen
- Glucose, protein, and Fat
- more efficient, produces more ATP/glucose.
- occurs in the mitochondira
Aerobic capacity
- Ability to use O2 to produce energy
- the more o2 your body can process, the more energy you can make and thus increase your output
Anaerobic metabolism
without O2. only uses glucose and produces LACTIC acid
Ergogenic aid
- a substance, application, or procedure used/done to improve athletic performance.
- i.e. Steroids
Overload prinicipal
the body will adapt to stress put on it. to get better, you gotta do better. break the comfort zone
Components of fitness
- cardiorespiratory endurance
- muscle strength and endurance
- flexibility
- body composition (fat/muscle/water ect.)
Health benefits of Exercise
- Improves self esteem overall well-being
- reduces depression, stress and anxiety, risk of colon and breast cancer, cardiovasular disease
- weight bearing exercise can reduce risk of OSTEOPOROSIS
Types and amount of exercise to improve health
moderate excercise recommended for
- 30 min/day for most days of week –> moderate
- 150 min/week of moderate intensity
- 75 min/week of vigorous
Calculating max <3 rate and aerobic zone
Max <3 rate: 220-age
Aerobic range: 60%-80% of max <3 rate
moderate intensity @lower end - 60-69% aerobic zone
vigorous intensity @higher end- 70-85% aerobic zone
max <3 rate x 0.6/0.85
Fuels used to generate ATP by anaerobic and aerobic metabolism
Anaerobic
- only glucose
- from blood (dietary carbs and glycogen from da liva)
- muscle glycogen
Aeriobic
- glucose, fatty acids, amino acids
- fatty acids–> triglycerides and adipose tisue
- amino acids–> dietary and body protein
Type of fuel used duing activity
(rest, moderate,high)
Source of fuel during exercise
Anaerobic
-
liver glygocen/glucose synth by liver and dietary carbs
- blood glucose
- muscle glycogen
- GLUCOSE
Aerobic
- dietary protein, body protein
- Amino acids —-> aerobic
-
Adipose tissue, trigylcerides in muscle
- Fatty acids–>aerobic
in summary:
- Anaerobic uses gluocose only. this glucose comes from liver, muscle glycogen or blood glucose.
- Aerobic uses protein from diet/body, and fatty acids that come from adipose tissue/trigylcerides
FUEL use in exercise intensity
(amino acids, fatty acids, glucose)
At Rest
- mainly fatty acids
- glucose
- amino acids
Moderate intensity
- half fatty acids and glucose
- little amino acids
High intensity
- all glucose
Instant, short term and long term energy sources
Instant
- during 1st few secs of exercise. energy from ATP for a few secs, then creatine phosphate stores are broken down and used to make more ATP. only lasts a few secs.
Short term
- Anaerobic. uses glucose from blood or muscle glycogen
- at 30 secs, anaerobic shit is working in full capacity
Long term
- After 2-3 min, o2 delivery to the muscle has increased enough to suppost aerobic metabolism
- uses Fatty acids and glucose to make ATP
