Chap. 6- Fatigue Flashcards
What is critical power?
The link between energy expenditure and fatigue
What factors affect critical power?
Overload, lack of oxygen, push to muscle failure, sleep hygiene, hydration, stress, nutrition.
What are 2 definitions of fatigue?
- Decrease in muscular performance with continued effort, sensations of tiredness (Working up to muscle failure)
- Inability to maintain power output to continue muscular work (Muscle failure)
How is fatigue reversed?
Rest
What complex(exercise) factors influence fatigue?
- Type of exercise and intensity
- Muscle fiber type
- Training status
- Diet
What are 4 CAUSES of fatigue? ***
- Inadequate metabolism
- Lactate threshold
- Failure of muscle contraction
- Altered neural control
What’s an example of failure of muscle contraction?
Cramp
What’s an example of altered neural control of muscle contraction?.
Flight, pass out
What helps defer Pcr Depletion?
Pacing
What can cause Pcr depletion?
Phosphate accumulations
What coincides with Pcr depletion?
Fatigue
True or False: Glycogen is depleted more quickly during the first few minutes of exercise.
True
What muscle fibers are lla?
Moderate Exercise Intensity
What muscle fibers are llx?
Maximum intensity exercise
What muscle fibers are recruited 1st?
Type I muscle fibers
What are two muscles that have different muscle depletion?
Gastric and Soleus
Two factors of activity specific muscles?
Depleted fast, used first and longest for task
True or False: Muscle glycogen is sufficient for prolonged exercise.
False- insufficient
Where is glycogen used from first?
Muscles
After muscle glycogenolysis where is it utilized from?
Liver
Muscle glycogen depletion + hypoglycemia=?
Fatigue
What does Pi stand for?
Inorganic Phosphate
Where does Pi (Inorganic Phosphate) get made from?
Rapid breakdown of Pcr and ATP
What is lactic acid a product of?
Anaerobic glycolysis
What causes muscle acidosis?
H+ accumulation
What is acidosis?
Low muscle Ph
