Chapter 2 Flashcards
Bio energetic
Process in each so that converts substrates to usable energy
ATP
Serves as the immediate source of energy for most body functions including muscle contraction
Kilo calorie
The amount of heat energy needed to raise one KG of water from 1°C to 15°C
Carbs
Usable glucose, stored glycogen, 4 cal per gram, 2000 cal in muscle, 500 cal and liver 30-40%
Ketoysis
Depleted carbs body runs off fat
Fat
Stored as triglycerides broken into three fatty acid’s to be used, 9 cal per gram 20-35%
Protein
Cannot store and body, 4 cal per gram 12-15%
Macronutrients
Needed in grams carbs fat and protein
Glycolysis
Carbs to glucose (usable)
Glycogenesis
Glucose to glycogen (stored)
Glycogenolysis
Glycogen to glucose
Glyconeogenesis
Non carb to glucose
All 3 systems
1 mole sugar = 38 ATP
Primary method of energy production during endurance events
The oxidative system
