Energy Expenditure and Specialist Training

Question 1

golgi rendon organ=

Answer 1

proprioceptors, which are activated when there are high levels of tension in a muscle.
Autogenic inhibition-which is a sudden relaxing of a muscle.

Question 2

muscle spindle=

Answer 2

proprioceptors that detect how far or fast a muscle is stretching.
they initiate the stretch reflex, where a muscle will contract, to prevent overstretching.

Question 3

indirect calorimetry=

Answer 3

provides an estimation of energy expenditure from the amount of CO2 produced and oxygen consumed during rest and steady-state exercise.

Question 4

lactate sampling=

Answer 4

-blood sample
-measure blood lactate
-ensures correct intensity
-very accurate
-measures OBLA

Question 5

respiratory exchange volume =

Answer 5

-ratio of CO2 released: ratio of O2 released
-aerobic vs anaerobic
-close to one=carbs
-close to 0.7=fats
