Chapter 4: Endocrine Responses to Resistance Exercise Flashcards
Objectives:
1. Understand basic concepts of endocrinology.
2. Explain the physiological roles of anabolic hormones.
3. Describe hormonal responses to resistance exercise.
4. Discuss how training programs can affect endocrine responses.
Section Outline:
1. Synthesis, Storage, and Secretion of Hormones
The endicrine system can be ____ with ___ to enhance the development of target tissues; improving performance.
Manipulated
Resistance trainig
target tissues
Roles of Hormones:
Reproduction
energy production
growth and development
homeostasis
What is the Endocrine System?
Supports the normal homeostatic function of the human body and aids in response to external stimuli
What are hormones? Where are they stored?
Chemical messengers that are synthesized, stored, and released into the body by endocrine glands (as well as other types of cells)
How do Endocrine glads work?
They release hormones into the blood.
Hormones interact with the receptors, (peptide) or in the nucleus (thyroid/steriods)
What are the 3 ways hormones can be released?
Enocrine Glands, Autocrine and Paracrine
Autocrine mechanism
Cell releases hormone inside of itself
(IGF-I)
Paracrine mechanisms
Hormone acts on adjacent cells (no need for
circulation)
What do Binding proteins do?
Extends life of hormones
Store, protect
Hormones are inactive when bound.
Muscle Remodeling
Damage of muscle fibers, (heads of myosin ripped of)
Inflammatory response releases hormonal interactions
Uses new protiens to rebuild
Increase in protein synthesis and decrease in degradation are first steps in muscle growth
increases in contractile proteins (actin + Myosin)
Hormones are intimately involved with ___ and —— mechanisms
protein synthesis; degradation
Anabolic hormones
promote tissue building
insulin, insulin-like growth factor, testosterone, growth hormone
Catabolic hormones
attempt to degrade cell proteins to support glucose synthesis
cortisol, progesterone
Long-term heavy resistance training —> enhanced __, ___, and __ of trained musculature
size; strength; power
…………………
……………
Singal from hormone is relayed only to cells that express a specific____
Hormone receptor
