intermyofibrillial mitochondria

37
Q

Increased mitochondrial content in skeletal muscles results in

A

improved oxidative capacity and ability to use fat as fuel

38

Mitochondrial turnover

A

– increased by training

breakdown of damaged mitochondria and replacement with healthy mitochondria

39

A
  • can increase quickly (within the first 5 days of training)
  • can increase 50-100% within first 6 weeks
  • depends on intensity and duration of training
40
Q

How does endurance training reduce the oxygen deficit? what does it result in (on a chemical level)?

A

The energy requirement can be met by oxidative ATP production at the onset of exercise
- faster rise in VO2 curve, and steady state is reached earlier

41
Q

Following training, oxygen deficit is

A

lower

42
Q

The faster rise in oxygen uptake results in:

A
  • less lactate and H+ formation
  • less PC depletion
  • less disruption in homeostasis
43
Q

What is the primary fuel of the nervous system?

A

Plasma glucose

44
Q

Endurance training helps maintain blood glucose during prolonged submaximal exercise by

A

increasing fat utilization and sparing of plasma glucose and muscle glycogen

45
Q

Endurance training increases _______ and decreases _______ during prolonged submaximal exercise.

A

fat metabolism; glucose utilization

46
Q

How is increased transport of FFA into the muscle facilitated?

A

an increase in capillary density, which slows the blood flow in the muscle and increases FFA transporters; fatty acid binding protein and fatty acid translocase. Ultimately that increases the uptake of FFA which increases FFA utilization and spares plasma glucose.

47
Q

How is increased transport of FFA from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria facilitated?

A

an increase in mitochondrial number and size (or mitochondrial membrane surface area), results in increased beta oxidation enzymes and carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and fatty acid translocase.

Because beta oxidation occurs in the mitochondria

48
Q

Increased capillary density enhances

A

the delivery of free fatty acids to the muscle

49
Q

Fat metabolism occurs in

A

the mitochondria

called beta oxidation

50
Q

beta oxidation

A

fat metabolism

converts FFA to acetyl-CoA for metabolism in the Krebs cycle

51
Q

How is mitochondrial oxidation of FFA increased?

A

increased mitochondrial number increases the enzymes of beta oxidation. This increases the rate of acetyl-CoA formation and high citrate level inhibits PFK and glycolysis

52
Q

Free radicals

A
  • chemical molecules that contain an unpaired electron in their outer orbital, which makes them highly reactive
  • can damage proteins, membranes, and DNA
53
Q

free radicals are produced by

A

contracting muscles

54
Q

Free radicals effect on muscles/during exercise

A

can disturb cellular homeostasis, damage muscle contractile proteins and contribute to muscle fatigue during prolonged endurance events

55
Q

Antioxidants

A

molecules that neutralize free radicals

  • endogenous and exogenous (from diet)
56
Q

Endogenous antioxidants

A
  • increased by training
  • protects against oxidative damage and fatigue
57
Q

How does endurance training-induced increases in mitochondria volume affect lactate and H+ formation?

A

They are decreased to maintain blood pH

58
Q

Acid-Base balance during exercise

lots of words on this slide… main idea about lactate and H+

A

By increasing the mitochondrial volume, endurance training increases the number of shuttles available to transport electrons associated with NADH from the cytoplasm into the mitochondrion. If the NADH formed in glycolysis is more quickly transported to the mitochondria, there will be less lactate and H+ formation.

Endurance training causes a change in the type of LDH present in the muscle cell. The H form of LDH has a low affinity for the available pyruvate; therefore, the likelihood of lactate production is diminished. Endurance training shifts the LDH towards this form, making lactate formation less likely and the uptake of pyruvate by the mitochondrion more likely.

59
Q

How do muscle biochemical adaptations to training influence the systemic response to exercise?

A
  • reduction in “feedback” from muscle chemoreceptors
  • reduced number of motor units recruited
60
Q

How does the Sympathetic Nervous System respond to muscle biochemical adaptations to training?

A

decrease in epinephrine and norepinephrine

61
Q

How does the Cardiorespiratory System respond to muscle biochemical adaptations to training?

A

decrease in heart rate and ventilation

62
Q

Responses to prolonged submaximal exercise are determined by

A

the training state of the specific muscle groups, not by the specific adaptation of each organ system.

63
Q

Is there a transfer of training effect from one muscle to another?

A

there is no transfer of training effect to the nervous, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems

64
Q

“Peripheral feedback” from muscle influences cardiopulmonary responses to exercise

A

The cardiorespiratory control center receives neural feedback from the working muscle, resulting in output from the cardiorespiratory control center that increases both HR and pulmonary ventilation.

The afferent signals to the cardiorespiratory control center result in decreased liver and kidney blood flow in order to increase the available blood flow to the working muscles.

65
Q

How does endurance exercise training impact central command control of the cardiorespiratory response to exercise?

A

Endurance exercise training reduces the feedforward output from higher brain centers to the cardiovascular control center. This results in lower sympathetic system output, heart rate, and ventilation responses to exercise.

66
Q

With endurance training, biochemical and structural adaptations in skeletal muscles make them more

A

efficient, needing less muscle to do the same amount of work

67
Q

How rapidly does VO2 max decrease during detraining?

A

decreases about 8% within 12 days

decreases 20% after 84 days

68
Q

The initial decrease of VO2 max is due to

(12 days of detraining)

A

decrease in stroke volume max

69
Q

Sudden decrease in maximal stroke volume is due to

A

70
Q

Later decrease of VO2 max with detraining is due to

71
Q

Decrease in maximal a-vO2 difference is due to

  • majority of adapations are lost within 2 weeks
76
Q

A

3 to 4 weeks

77

A

short duration (10-30 seconds) all-out effort, which is also referred to as “sprint training”

78
Q

Anaerobic exercise recap

(muscle fiber types, energy supply)

A
  • recruits both type 1 and 2 muscle fibers to perform the exercise
  • during exercise lasting 10 seconds or less, the energy is primarily supplied by ATP-PC system
  • During exercise lasting 20-30 seconds, 80% of energy needed is provided anaerobically whereas the remaining 20% is provided aerobically
79
