Chapter 4 - Exercise Metabolism & Bioenergetics Flashcards
Metabolism
This is the process where energy is made available. It is the accumulation of chemical and physical processes by which its material substance is created, destroyed and maintained.
Bioenergetics
This is the study of how energy transforms within living systems.
Exercise metabolism
This is the total of all the bodily processes from the stress that exercise produces.
Energy metabolism : Substrates
The substance that is acted on by an enzyme.
Energy metabolism : Carbohydrates
An organic compound that is the primary supporting tissue for plants.
Energy metabolism : Glucose:
This is a sugar that can come in many different forms. It occurs primarily in tissues, fluids, and fruits. Primary end product after the digestion of carbohydrates.
Energy metabolism : Glycogen
This is a polysaccharide that is tasteless and white and is the primary carbohydrate storage in mammals. It occurs primarily in the muscles as well as in the live
Energy metabolism : Fat
This is a type of organic compound that is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and ether. Fats are comprised of lipids and our greasy to the human touch.
Energy metabolism : Triglycerides
This is a type of organic compound that is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and ether. Fats are comprised of lipids and our greasy to the human touch.
Energy metabolism : Protein
Multiple linked amino acids (20+) in a linear sequence that form one or more polypeptide chain
Energy metabolism : Gluconeogenesis
When glucose is formed from a non-carbohydrate such as fats or protein.
Energy for work: Adenosine triphosphate
The transfer and energy storage unit inside of the cells of the body. When the chemical bonds that hold together ATP break, energy is released for work such as the contraction of a muscle. When this bond breaks it leaves behind ADP (Adenosine diphosphate)
Energy for work: Adenosine diphosphate
This is a compound of high energy from which ATP is formed.
Energy for work: Beta (B)-oxidation
This is the first process that breaks down fatty acids. It includes the oxidation of beta carbons and removing to fragments of carbon from the fatty acid
Energy for work: EPOC (Excess Post-exercise oxygen consumption)
Metabolism will elevate after higher intensity exercises. The reason that you see high-intensity interval training as a successful method for shedding fat. High-intensity work will increase EPOC.
