Energy Systems Flashcards

1
Q

How is energy created in the ATP PC system

A

There is 1 A and 3 P

An enzyme breaks off a P to create ADP which releases energy = ATP = ADP + P

Phosphocreatine makes a reaction which causes energy = P + C + Energy

This causes Energy —— ADP + P which leads to ATP being created

Q

Advantages for ATP PC system

A

ATP can be re synthesised rapidly using the ATP PC system

Phosphocreatine stores can be re synthesised quickly

There are no fatiguing by products

It is possible to extend the time the ATP PC system can be utilised through the use of creatine supplementation

Q

Disadvantages for ATP PC system

A

Limited supply of phosphocreatine in the muscle cell, only lasts for 10s

Only 1 mole of ATP can be re synthesised for every mole of PC

PC re synthesis can only take place in the presence of oxygen (when intensity is reduced

Q

How do hydrogen irons affect us in the anaerobic glycolytic system

A

Hydrogen ions are a by product of the lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis). H+ cause the muscle pH to drop (become more acidic). This inhibits the glycolytic enzyme and makes contractions difficult

7
Q

Advantages for anaerobic glycolytic system

A

No delay for O2

ATP can be re-synthesised quickly due to few chemical reactions

Can be used for high intensities - sprint finishes

Due to no oxygen, lactic acid can be converted back to the liver glycogen or used as fuel through oxidation into carbon dioxide and water

Q

Disadvantages of anaerobic glycolytic system

A

Lactic acid as the by product. The accumulation de natures enzymes prevents an increase rate of chemical reaction

Only a small amount of energy can be released from glycogen under anaerobic conditions

13
Q

Disadvantages of the aerobic system

A

Complicated systems - can’t be used straight away

O2 becomes available glycogen + fatty acids completely broken down

Fatty acids transportation to muscles is low and requires more O2

Q

What is stage 1 in the aerobic energy system

A

Glycolysis - Glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid —- 2 ATP formed

Pyruvic acid is oxidised and Coenzyme A carries it into the Krebs cycle

Q

What is stage 2 of the aerobic energy system

A

Stage 2: In the mitochondria matrix

Kerb cycle - The 2 acetyl groups diffuse into the matrix of the mitochondria.

The acetyl groups combine with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid

Hydrogen is removed from the citric acid by ‘oxidative carboxylation’

Produces C,H and 2 ATP molecules

16
Q

What is stage 3 of the aerobic energy cycle

A

Electron transport chain:

Hydrogen splits into H ions and H electrons both are charged with potential energy

H ions are oxidised to form water while the electrons provide enough energy to resynthesises 34 ATP

17
Q

What is sub maximal oxygen deficit

A

When there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy (ATP) aerobically

Oxygen deficit = how much effort was anaerobic

18
Q

Draw and label a graph that illustrates oxygen consumption during exercise and recovery

A

Know the oxygen deficit and steady state vo2 on a diagram

19
Q

Know the different graphs for maximal and submaximal oxygen deficit.

A
20
Q

What is maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD)

A

It gives an indication of the athletes anaerobic capacity

21
Q

What is EPOC

A

Regaining oxygen after exercise

Reoxygenation of blood and myoglobin

Breakdown of lactate in blood

Resynthesis of glycogen from lactate (stored in liver)

2 components

22
Q

What is the fast component of EPOC

A

2 - 3 minutes following the event

Need 1-4 litres of extra O2 to replenish ATP PC

50% restored in 30s

Replenishes all myoglobin stores of O2

Q

What is the function of the slow component in EPOC

A

Removal of lactic acid

Maintenance of ventilation

Maintenance of circulation

Maintenance of body temperature

Requires 5-8 l of O2 can take minutes up to hours
