Q

Why is it recommended that children train aerobically instead of anaerobically?

A

During high intense exercise lactic acid builds up more quickly. It is more difficult to remove this waste product.

Q

How does ATP release energy?

ATP releases energy by breaking a bond between phosphates

When a phosphate is broken it releases energy

When ATP loses a phosphate, it forms ADP (adenosine di-phosphate)

Q

What are the guidelines for exercising around diabetes?

A

Aerobic exercise can help the body use insulin more effectively lowering blood glucose

Anaerobic exercise can increase blood glucose

Blood glucose can negatively affect energy levels and performance

23
Q

What is the body’s currency for energy?

A

ATP

24
Q

Type 2 Diabetes is…

A

This is a common form of diabetes, it is developed when not enough insulin is produced by the body

25
Q

How long does the ATP-PC energy system last?

A

Approximately 3 -10 seconds

26
Q

How long does it take to recover for the ATP-PC system?

A

A ratio of 1:10

6 seconds of intense exercise takes 1 minute to recover

27
Q

ATP-PC/Alactic System

How many seconds of intense exercise until the stored ATP is used up?

A

3 seconds. The ATP is used up and leaves ADP in the cells.

28
Q

It’s half time and a pause in play, which is the predominant energy system?

A

Aerobic - allowing to generate more ATP and the anaerobic system to be partially recovered.

29
Q

Explain the improved aerobic energy system

A

Adaptations to the cardiovascular and respiratory system will improve the aerobic energy system as it will allow
increased oxygen delivery to the working muscles

30
Q

In a football match lasting 90 minutes, which is the predominant energy system?

A

Aerobic - as its up to 90 minutes.

31
Q

When the ATP-PC system begins to fade (after 10 seconds), which system will be the most prominent?

A

Lactate System

32
Q

Describe the re-synthesization of ATP in the ATP-PC system

A

The muscle cells also contain high energy compounds called creatine phosphate (Pcr)

Creatine phosphate is made up of a molecule of creatine and phosphate

When creatine phosphate bond is broken by creatine kinase (enzyme), the creatine and phosphate split

The phosphate joins onto ADP to resynthesize ATP

33
Q

Explain the use of fat as an energy source

A

Training increases the ability to use fats as an energy source this helps the aerobic system

34
Q

Explain the increase storage of glycogen

A

An increase in glycogen stores will benefit both the lactic and aerobic energy system as it provides extra fuel

35
Q

Where does the process take place to yield the ATP?

A

Occurs in the mitochondria of the muscle cells

36
Q

What is diabetes?

A

Diabetes is the body’s inability to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood due to the lack of insulin function

Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter cells so it can be used for energy

Diabetes impacts on the amount of energy we can use from carbohydrates

37
Q

How does the lactate system resynthesise ATP?

A

The lactate system breaks down glycogen (stored glucose) without the use of oxygen, this is called anaerobic glycolysis

Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscle cells

Glucose in the blood can be transported to the muscle cells immediately

When we break down a molecule of glycogen it produces 3 molecules of ATP

It also produces pyruvate acid that is converted to the lactate. Lactic acid is a waste product from lactate.

38
Q

Does the body use one system at a time? True or False

A

False - energy is derived from all three systems at any time. It’s the emphasis of one depends on the intensity.

39
Q

Describe the Electron Transport Chain

A

Is the most important step in energy production and is where the majority of ATP is produced (34 molecules of ATP from glucose) the hydrogen created within the krebs cycle is accepted by the hydrogen acceptor found in the mitochondria where, in presence of oxygen, ATP can be
produced

40
Q

A longer period of play is happening, and you have made several consecutive tackles, which is the predominant energy system?

A

Lactate system

41
Q

The energy systems function..

A

Aerobically (with oxygen) or Anaerobically (without the presence of oxygen)

42
Q

What type of exercise is the ATP-PC system good for?

A

High intensity exercise

43
Q

Describe the Krebs cycle

A

Sometimes known as the citric acid cycle. The pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria and is converted into citric acid. Resulting in two molecules of ATP and waste products of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The carbon dioxide is removed and exhaled by the CV system.

44
Q

What does ADP stand for?

A

Adenosine Diphosphate

45
Q

What does ATP stand for?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate

46
Q

What age does the lactate system develop until?

A

Aged 20 is when it’s fully developed. It develops throughout childhood.

47
Q

What does hyperglycaemic mean?

A

This is when the blood sugar is too high. It can occur if someone eats too much or misses insulin injection

Symptoms include; thirst & hunger, tiredness, blurred vision

48
Q

Name the three energy systems

A
  1. ATP-PC System
  2. Lactate System
  3. Aerobic System
49
Q

Explain the increase intolerance to lactic acid

A

Lactic acid is a waste product from the lactate system

Lactic acid makes the muscle feel fatigued

A tolerance to lactic acid will allow the muscles to work for longer without getting fatigued

50
Q

All movement requires…

A

Energy

51
Q

How does ATP resynthesise?

A

ATP works like a rechargeable battery. ATP energy is released by converting ATP to ADP (breaking the bond releases energy) ADP now needs recharging by rebonding with a phosphate to resynthesise as ATP. The body uses a number of different systems to do this.

52
Q

Within the football match, you start to sprint, jump and shoot, which is the predominant energy system?

A

ATP-PC system

53
Q

ATP-PC/Alactic System

What happens after the 3 seconds of intense exercise?

A

ADP needs to be re-synthesized into ATP by using creatine phosphate (PCr).
