Energy Systems + Food fuels Flashcards

1
Q

What is the difference between chemical and mechanical energy?

A

Chemical Energy is the energy in the food, whereas, Mechanical Energy is the energy that is converted into mechanical energy to allow muscular contractions.

Q

What are the two different mechanisms by which ATP is produced?

A

Aerobically and anaerobically. Aerobically, working with oxygen and anaerobically, working without oxygen

Q

Describe what energy interplay means

A

Energy interplay is when all three systems are working together during an activity. One system will be more predominant depending on the duration, intensity and oxygen availability of the activity. All systems will be present.

Q

What is ATP?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate, known as ATP, is a molecule made up of one adenosine molecule and three phosphate molecules, bonded together that creates energy for muscle contractions when broken.

Q

When does the body prefer fats and why?

A

The body prefers fats at rest as there is sufficient amounts of oxygen to breakdown ATP. Fats have the greatest yield per molecule, therefore it is preferred at rest.

Q

What is the duration for the ATP-PC system and its peak power?

A

1-10 seconds with peak at 2-4 seconds

17
Q

What is the duration for the Anaerobic glycolysis system and its peak power?

A

10-75 seconds with peak at 5-15 seconds

18
Q

What is the duration for the Aerobic glycolysis system and its peak power?

A

> 60 seconds with peak at 1-1.5 minutes

19
Q

What is the fuel source for the ATP PC system?

A

Creatine phosphate (PC)

20
Q

What is the fuel source for the Anaerobic glycolysis system?

A

Carbohydrates

21
Q

What is the fuel source for the Aerobic glycolysis system?

A

Carbohydrates, (fats if necessary then proteins in extreme circumstances)

22
Q

What are the by products of the ATP-PC system, Aerobic glycolysis and anaerobic glycolysis systems?

A

ATP-PC - Creatine Phosphate
ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS - Lactic acid = Lactate + Hydrogen ions
AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS - Carbon dioxide and water

23
Q

How is ATP resynthesized through the ATP-PC system?

A

The breakdown of PC resynthesizes ATP, this is done by combining the P with the ADP. Need passive recovery. (50% replenishment in 30 seconds and 100% in 3 minutes)

24
Q

How is ATP resynthesized through the Anaerobic glycolysis system?

A

Energy for the resynthesis of ATP is provided by the incomplete breakdown of glycogen/glucose when there is insufficient oxygen available

25
Q

How is ATP resynthesized through the Aerobic glycolysis system?

A

Provided by the complete breakdown of glycogen/glucose or fats (if aerobic lipolysis) when there is sufficient oxygen available

26
Q

Describe what rate and yield mean

A

Rate is the speed at which ATP is resynthesized and the yield is the total amount of ATP produced per molecule

27
Q

What are two advantages the aerobic system has over the other systems?

A

No fatiguing by products, higher ATP yield per molecule and can last for a prolonged time period
