Q

What system/s run off fuel sources?

A
  • anaerobic glycolysis

- aerobic

39
Q

A

To produce ATP

40
Q

What is the adipose tissue?

A

41
Q

What type of exercise benefits from carb loading?

A

Prolonged endurance exercise of 120mn or more

42
Q

When will fats be used during exercise?

A

During prolonged submaximal exercise after glycogen stores are depleted

43
Q

Why can some athletes use fat stores instead of carbs to produce energy?

A

As a result of training, endurance athletes bodies get better at using free fatty acids for fuel, known as glycogen sparing

44
Q

How does switching to fats as the predominant fuel source during exercises se affect performance?

A

Requires more oxygen to breakdown and takes longer, as a result athletes must reduce intensity

45
Q

When are all energy systems involved?

A

At the start of exercise

46
Q

What are the considerations of the energy systems?

A
  • duration
  • intensity
  • whether oxygen is present or not
  • fuel depletion
47
Q

What is 100% VO2MAX?

A

The highest intensity you can work at whilst the aerobic system remains dominant

48
Q

Does the ATP-PC system require oxygen?

A

No

49
Q

Does the anaerobic glycolysis system require oxygen?

A

No

50
Q

Does the aerobic system require oxygen?

A

Yes

51
Q

What is a limiting factor of the ATP-PC system?

A

Limited supply of phosphocreatine

52
Q

What does glycolysis stand for?

A

The breakdown of glucose

53
Q

What is the fatigue cause by product of the anaerobic glycolysis system?

A

The H+ ions in a lactic acid

54
Q

Is the aerobic system an incomplete or complete breakdown?

A

Complete

55
Q

When does the aerobic system stop?

A

When fuels deplete

56
Q

When is the ATP-PC system dominant during exercise?

A

1-5 secs

57
Q

When is the AG system dominate during exercise?

A

5-60secs

58
Q

When is the aerobic system dominate during exercise?

A

Over 75secs

59
Q

When’s the peak power of the AG system?

A

5-15secs

60
Q

What is the peak power of the aerobic system?

A

1-1.5mins

61
Q

What are the byproducts of the aerobic system?

A

Carbon dioxide, heat, water

62
Q

What is the total duration during activity of the ATP-PC system?

A

0-10secs

63
Q

What is the total duration during activity of the AG system?

A

10-75secs

64
Q

What is the respiratory system responsible for?

A

The delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide from the cells of the body

65
Q

What is the equation for ventilation?

A

Tidal volume x respiratory rate

66
Q

What leads to increased ventilation?

A

Tidal volume has a finite capacity, during max intensity exercise TV will plateau and any further increase will be due to increased respiratory rate

67
Q

Does diffusion occur from high to low or low to high concentration?

A

High to low

68
Q

What happens during diffusion at the lungs?

A

Oxygen levels are high so it moves into the bloodstream so carbon dioxide moves into lungs

69
Q

What occurs with diffusion at the muscle?

A

Blood oxygen levels are high so oxygen moves into the muscle and carbon dioxide moves into the bloodstream

70
Q

How does diffusion rates change during exercise?

A

Increases, allowing more oxygen to be delivered to the working muscles and allows carbon dioxide to be removed at same rate

71
Q

What is the equation for the cardiac output?

A

Stroke volume x heart rate

72
Q

What is cardiac output?

A

The total amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle per min

73
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

The amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle per beat

74
Q

What is heart rate?

A

How many times your heart beats per min

75
Q

What happens to cardiac output when exercise starts?

A

It increases

76
Q

Why does cardiac output increase during exercise?

A

To allow more oxygen to be delivered to the working muscles

77
Q

How does cardiac output increase during exercise?

A

Stroke volume has a finite capacity. During max intensity exercise, tidal volume will plateau any increase is due to increased heart rate

78
Q

How do you calculate the max heart rate?

A

220-age

79
Q

What is oxygen consumption?

A

The volume of oxygen that can be taken up and used but the body

80
Q

Does oxygen consumption increase or decrease during exercise?

A

Increases

81
Q

What is venous return?

A

The returning of blood to the heart via the veins

82
Q

What is AVO2 difference?

A

The difference in oxygen concentration of the arteriole compared to the venule

83
Q

What does the AVO2 difference show?

A

A direct measure of how much oxygen is taken up by the muscle

84
Q

Will an increase in exercise result in an increase in AVO2 difference?

A

Yes

85
Q

What are the three mechanisms that facilitate venous return?

A
  • muscle pump
  • respiratory pump
  • vasoconstriction
86
Q

What is the muscle pump?

A

The muscle itself contracting and relaxing repeatedly

87
Q

How does the muscle pump work?

A

When muscle contracts veins are squashed forcing blood back to the heart

88
Q

What prevents backflow?

A

Valves

89
Q

How does the respiratory pump work?

A

During inspiration abdominal pressure and veins in chest cavity empty to heart. During expiration abdominal pressure forces veins to fill with blood

90
Q

What is vasoconstriction controlled by?

A

The CNS

91
Q

What is vasoconstriction?

A

Reduces the capacity of the venous system, reducing vein diameter, forcing the blood in the veins to be pushed to the heart

92
Q

Do blood volumes decrease or increase during exercise?

A

Decrease due to decrease in plasma

93
Q

How does redistribution of bloodflowmoccur during exercise?

A

Blood flow is redistributed from areas where blood is not essential to the working muscles

94
Q

What is vasodilation?

A

Widening of the arterioles to allow for increased blood to working muscles
