Chapter 6 Flashcards
These two definitions represent what term?
- “Decrements in muscular performance with continued effort, accompanied by sensations of tiredness”
- Inability to maintain required power output to continue muscular work at given intensity”
Fatigue
T/F: fatigue is reversible by rest
True
What are the 4 major causes of fatigue? Which of the 4 are peripheral fatigue and central fatigue?
- Inadequate energy delivery/metabolism
- Accumulation of metabolic by-products
- Failure of muscle contractile mechanism
- Altered neural control of muscle contraction
1-3: Peripheral
4: Central
_____ depletion coincides with fatigue.
PCr
Which energy system is used for short-term, high-intensity effort?
PCr
PCr gets depleted more quickly than total ____.
ATP
T/F: Pacing helps defer PCr depletion.
True
_____ reserves are limited and get depleted quickly.
Glycogen
Glycogen depletion is correlated with ______.
Fatigue
T/F: Glycogen depletion is related to total glycogen depletion.
True
Glycogen is depleted more quickly with ______ intensity.
High
Glycogen is depleted more quickly during first few _____ of exercise.
Minutes
T/F: Depletion of glycogen is different in various muscle groups.
True
Are activity specific muscles depleted the slowest or fastest?
Fastest
What metabolic by-product is derived from rapid breakdown of PCr, ATP?
Pi
Which metabolic by-product is retained by body, core temperature increases?
Heat
Which metabolic by-product is a product of anaerobic glycolysis?
Lactic acid
Which metabolic by-product causes muscle acidosis?
H+ accumulation
What is the chemical equitation for H+ accumulation?
H+ + lactic acid —> lactate + H+
T/F: Lactic acid accumulates during brief, low intensity exercise.
False; high intensity exercise
When lactic acid is not cleared immediately, it converts to ________.
Lactate + H+
What causes decrease in muscle pH (acidosis)?
H+ accumulation
What helps muscle pH but not enough?
Buffers
Buffers minimize drop in pH (____ to ____, not to ____).
7.1 to 6.5, not to 1.5
What survives the presence of buffers but don’t function well?
Cells
If pH <___, inhibits glycolytic enzymes, ATP synthesis.
