20
Q

What process ensures that glucose is trapped in the cell

A

Adding a phosphate to the glucose molecule

21
Q

Overall glycolysis rxn:

A

Glucose + 2NAD + 2ADP + 2P → Pyruvate (3C) + 2H + 2ATP + 2H20

22
Q

In anaerobic pathway pyruvate converts to

A

Lactate

23
Q

In Aerobic pathway pyruvate attaches to ———and loses a carbon atom as Co2

A

Coenzyme A

24
Q

When pyruvate attaches to Coenzyme A it yields

A

Acetyl CoA

25
Q

In aerobic pathway what molecule enters the TCA cycle

A

Acetyl coA

26
Q

What is fatigue ?

A

Inability of muscle to maintain require rate of work

27
Q

When is max speed in elite sprinters

A

At 3-4 sec , 30-40 meters

28
Q

When does max lactate occur in muscles

A

At the end of exercise around 3-7 min

29
Q

Cause of fatigue

A

Increased lactate —> decrease PH,

Low pH—-> fatigue

30
Q

Key recovery components

A
  1. Restoration of muscle PCr
  2. Restoration of muscle ATP
  3. Removal of Lactate
  4. Restoration of normal pH (~7.0)
31
Q

When does restoration of PCr and ATP occur after exercise

A

Within a few minutes ( 5-10)

32
Q

What does have exponential rate of recovery

A

PCr

33
Q

How is the exponential rate of PCr recovery

A

50% complete in first 30-60 sec

34
Q

What happens to lactate after exercise

A

Some lactate goes to liver —>converted to glucose

Some lactate goes to active tissue —> converted to pyruvate (via lactate dehydrogenase ) and used as fuel via oxidative pathway

35
Q

What happens in hydrogen ions after exercise

A

In blood react with carbonate ions and form CO2 and H2O

36
Q

How long does lactate removal and pH storatio to normal take

A

1 hr

37
Q

Lactate recovery is faster if

A

Walking or slow running

38
Q

What is the slowest aspect of recovery after exercise ?

A

Replacement of muscle glycogen

39
Q

How do muscles replace glycogen

A

Some from liver
Most from diet
Some from blood ?

40
Q

Nutrition effect of the mid-distance athlete

Glycogen must be

A

Maxed for optimal performance

41
Q

Nutrition effect of the mid-distance athlete

CHO intake ?

A

Requires adequate dietary CHO intake during training phases and pre-competition

42
Q

Oxidation of which one yields more energy ? CHO vs fat

A

CHO per unit of O2

43
Q

Why does increasing buffer capacity help?

A

Acidosis reduces performance

44
Q

How to increase buffer capacity

A

Pre-performance ingestion of alkaline salts

  1. Bicarbonate
  2. Baking soda
  3. Beta alanine
45
Q

When do you have to take banking soda ?

A

1-2 hrs pre event

46
Q

Doses of baking soda

A

0.1< x < 0.3 g/kg of body weight

With 1 L of H20 , 1-2 hrs pre event

47
Q

Beta alanine increases

A

Muscular carnosine content

48
Q

6.4 g beta-alanine in eight divided doses

A

Increase muscular carnosine by 60% after 4 weeks and

80% after 10 weeks
