25
Describe the oxygen deficit?
- the difference between total oxygen consumed and total that would be consumed with immediate steady-rate uptake
26
What does the Oxygen Deficit represent?
- immediate anaerobic energy transfer from the hydrolysis of intramuscular high-energy phosphates and glycolysis until steady-rate energy transfer meets current energy demands
27
How does the energy for exercise occur?
- smooth blending and considerable overlap of different modes of energy systems
28
What is the oxygen uptake fast component?
- Exponential rise in oxygen uptake in first minutes of physical activity - reaches a plateau after at around 3rd or 4th minute
29
What is unique about endurance-trained individuals regarding steady-rate?
Compared to sprint-power athletes, cardiac patients, older adults, and untrained: - Reach it more rapidly - Smaller oxygen deficit
30
What causes a trained individual to consume a greater total amount of oxygen during steady-rate exercise? What else does it do?
Faster Aerobic Kinetic Response - makes an anaerobic component of exercise energy transfer proportionally smaller
31
What three aerobic training adaptations facilitate the rate of aerobic metabolism when exercise begins?
- Rapid increases in muscle bioenergetics - Rapid Increase in overall blood flow - Disproportionally larger regional blood flow to active muscle, complimented by cellular adaptations
32
What do the three aerobic training adaptations that facilitate the rate of aerobic metabolism when exercise begins do?
- Increase individual total capacity to generate ATP aerobically
33
when does VO2max occur?
when oxygen uptake plateaus or increases only slightly with additional exercise intensity
34
What does a High VO2max require?
Integration and high-level responses of: 1. Pulmonary Ventilation 2. Hemoglobin Concentration 3. Blood Volume and Cardiac Output 4. Peripheral Blood Flow 5. Aerobic Metabolism
35
What are the four factors that Hill suggests determine VO2max?
- Arterial O2 Saturation - Mixed Venous Saturation - O2 capacity of the Blood - Circulation Rate
36
What quantitative estimate is made for arterial O2 saturation?
- Ventilation Hill noticed no cyanosis, and assumed that the lungs oxygenated the blood well enough
37
What quantitative estimate is made for Mixed Venous Saturation?
- Central Blood Flow
38
What quantitative estimate is made for O2 capacity of the blood?
- Active Muscle Metabolism
39
Which quantitative estimate is made for the circulation rate?
- Peripheral Blood Flow
40
Why are athletics used for study on exercise physiology?
- Simple, measurable, and constant - Athletes: reduced danger (healthy) - Exciting and new for physiology (more recruits)
41
Why are both muscle twitch fibers usually required for most sports?
- slow, sustained muscle action - Short bursts of power
42
What do athletes who excel in different sports usually have with regard to muscle fiber type?
- a large percentage of specific muscle fiber type that supports that sport's energy demand
43
Describe Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers
Type II - Rapid Contraction Speed - High Capacity for Anaerobic ATP production Type IIa - High Aerobic Capacity
44
Describe Slow-twitch muscle fibers
- Generate energy through aerobic pathways - Slow contraction speed
45
What type and percentage of muscle fibers would a swim champion have?
Type II - Fast-twitch - 80%
46
What type and percentage of muscle fibers would an endurance cyclist have?
Type I - Slow-twitch - 80%
47
What is EPOC?
Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption
48
Which 7 things contribute to EPOC?
- Resynthesize ATP & PCr - Resynthesize Lactate to Glycogen - Oxidize Lactate for energy metabolism - Restore Oxygen to Myoglobin and Blood - Restore thermogenic effects of elevated core temp - Thermogenic effect of hormones (catecholamines) - Restore Elevated HR, VE, other physio function
49
What happens during recovery from steady-state exercise?
- Re-synthesis of high-energy phosphates - replenish O2 in blood - Replenish bodily fluids - replenish muscle myoglobin - small energy cost to elevate circulation/ventilation
50
Why is passive procedure important during recovery from steady state exercise?
- additional exercise elevates total metabolism, delay recovery
51
What do most individuals do when left to their own choice regarding recovery from steady-state exercise?
- Select optimal recovery intensity
52
What does performing aerobic exercise in recovery do to lactate?
- Accelerates blood lactate removal
53
Why does performing aerobic exercise in recovery from non-steady state exercise accelerate blood lactate removal?
Increased - blood perfusion through the liver, heart, and ventilatory muscles - blood flow through skeletal muscles in active recovery
54
Describe Intermittent Interval Physical Activity
- Supramaximal exercise to overload specific energy transfer system - Rapid recovery in interval
55
What can you do in interval training to overload a specific energy-transfer system?
- Manipulate duration of exercise and rest intervals
56
define blood lactate threshold
when muscle cells can neither meet energy demands aerobically nor oxidize lactate at its rate of formation
57
what affects blood lactate independent of oxygen consumption
muscle fiber type used
58
what kind of information does VO2max provide?
* It provides a quantitative measure of a person’s capacity for sustained aerobic ATP re-synthesis * Indicates ability to maintain intense exercise for longer than 4 to 5 minutes
59
describe type 1 muscle fibers
- Generates energy through aerobic pathways. - Slower contraction speed than fast-twitch fibers. - Active in continuous activities requiring steady-rate aerobic energy transfer
60
define lactate threshold
when muscle cells can neither meet energy demands aerobically nor oxidize lactate at its rate of formation
