Ch.6 Flashcards
Decrements in muscular performance with
continued effort, accompanied by sensations of tiredness
Fatigue
Inability to maintain required power output to continue muscular work at give intensity
(Also) Fatigue
TF: Fatigue is reversible by rest
True
4 major causes of fatigue (synergistic)
-Inadequate energy delivery/metabolism
-Accumulation of metabolic by products
-Failure of muscle contractile mechanism
-Altered neural control of muscle contraction
Complex phenomenons of fatigue
-Type/Intensity of workout
-Muscle fiber type
-Training status,diet
F: PCr depletion is used for __ term, __ intensity effort
Short
High
TF: PCr gets depleted more slowly than ATP
False
Quickly
What helps with deferring PCr depletion
Pacing
Glycogen reserves are __ and get depleted __
Limited
Quickly
PCr depletion __ w/ fatigue
Glycogen depletion is __ w/ fatigue
Coincides
Correlated
Glycogen is depleted more quickly during __ few minutes of exercise and __ intensity work
First
High
Metabolic By Products: from breakdown of PCr, ATP
P¡
Metabolic By-Products: retained by body and increased core temperature
Heat
Metabolic By-Products: product of anaerobic glycolysis
Lactic acid
Metabolic By-Products: causes muscle acidosis
H+ accumulation
What helps muscle pH, but not fully?
Buffers
Drop in pH due to buffers
7.1 to 6.5
What is inhibited if pH is less than 6.9?
Glycolytic enzymes
ATP synthesis
What is prevented when pH is equal to?
Further glycogen breakdown
How does heat alter metabolic rate?
-Increase rate of carbohydrate utilization
-Increase glycogen depletion
-High muscle temperature may impair muscle function
Temperature where time to exhaustion is longest at?
11°C
Temperature where time of exhuastion is shortest at is?
31°C
Failure may occur at __ preventing muscle activation
Neuromuscular junction
