Exam 1 Flashcards
anaerobic metabolism
no oxygen utilizes only carbs (glucose) occurs IN the cytoplasm of cell by-product is lactic acid yileds net 2 ATP per molecule of glucose
anaerobic metabolism
no oxygen utilizes only carbs (glucose) occurs IN the cytoplasm of cell by-product is lactic acid yileds net 2 ATP per molecule of glucose
aerobic metabolism
requires oxygen utilizes carbs, fats, and proteins occurs in mitochondria byproducts: water and CO2 yields net 36 ATP per molecule glucose done through glycolysis, krebs, and ETC
where are aerobic cells located?
heart, CNS, PNS, skeletal muscle
where are anaerobic cells located?
connective tissue cell (bone, cartilage, RBC’s), skeletal muscle
VO2 max
maximum capacity of an individual’s body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness for eh individual. Measured by mL O2/kg min
What is the gold standard for aerobic capacity testing?
oxygen consumption (VO2)
Ways to measure VO2
- CO x a-vO2 difference
2. Vol. O2 entering lungs-volume O2 leaving lungs
anaerobic threshold
not capable of performing work solely aerobically (start to perform work anaeriobically, so build up of lactic acid)
what % of VO2 max is anaerobic threshold usually?
55%- with training, above, with detraining, below
what is the “clinical” anaerobic threshold?
when exercising and have difficulty talking to another. Point when metabolic acidosis trying to compensate w/ respiratory alkalosis
1 MET= X mLO2/Kg*min
3.5 mLO2/Kg*min
Definition 1 MET
requirement of O2 of tissue of the body at rest.
Moderate intensity physical activity (MET)
3-6 METS
Vigorous-intensity physical activity
> 6 METS
Factors affecting peak VO2
age gender genetics body composition endurance training various diseases that affect oxygen transport
Mortality impact w/ 1 MET increase in women
mortality decreased by 17%
VO2 considered dialed?
What is the threshold value of maximally voluntary performance need for independence in older adults?
20 mL/Kg*min
Karvonen formula
(Max HR-Rest HR)*% intensity+ Resting HR=
general HR max equation
220-age x % intensity
Tanaka HR
(208-.7age) intensity
Heart rate reserve
describes the difference between a person’s resting HR and maximum HR. HRR= HR max-HR rest
as person becomes more fit, what happens to HRR?
HRR increases (HR rest will drop)
