Q

how does FIIT influence acute responses and exercise adaptations?

A

Acute – an adaptation that occurs for one bout vs chronic = over time to exercise bouts
Frequency – Do you exercise enough to adapt? Is it too much that your body wont adapt?
Intensity – maximal or submaximal (quality of overload)
Type – is it continuous, rhythmical/resistance, or strength?
Time – depending on how long the workout bout is for, it can improve aerobic or anaerobic metabolism

A

Normally there is not much ATP production from amino acids, but it can be done if other stores are low

42
Q

What is the Felig cycle?

the creation of glucose in the liver from alanine to help regulate and maintain normal blood glucose levels so that the brain, nerves, kidneys, and muscles can draw from the supply

43

36 ATP

54
Q

How does [citrate] influence TCA cycle?

A

if high [citrate], less acetyl-CoA will enter and whole cycle will slow down

55
Q

What is the chemiosmotic theory?

A

E is produced by ions following their gradient across the membrane allowing for the proton carriers to transfer H+ across the mem

56
Q

What happens to the ETC without O2?

A

No ATP can be produced bc O2 is the final electron receptor

57
Q

What drives ATP synthase?

A

Motive force of movement of H+ and e- across the mitochondrial membrane

58
Q

Fate of lipids?

A

TAG can be cleaved by hormone sensitive lipase (HSL)

Lipolysis and beta-ox L breakdown of lipids to FA and glycogen

59
Q

Fate of proteins?

A

aa to… Acetyl CoA to go into Krebs cycle and reversed or pyruvic acid and reversed

60
Q

Fate of carbohydrates?

A

go into glycolysis to produce ATP

Potential to become lipid

61
Q

What relationship exists between intensity and the energy system being utilized?

A

Short duration high intensity relies predominantly on ATP-PC and glycogen stored in muscles

62
Q

What system would predominate for maximal effort lasting 5 seconds, 2 minutes, 30 minutes?

A

5 SEC: ATP-PCr-
2 min: anaerobic metabolism ie ATP-PC and LA
30 min: O2/aerobic system

63
Q

What is the lactate threshold

A

break in linear rate of blood lactate that produces a large increase

64
Q

Process of lactate accumulation at high exercise intensities

A

Fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibers recruited which produce lactic acid when they contract no matter if there is sufficient O2 or not.
LDH isoenzyme 4 & 5 facilitate this conversion of pyruvate to lactate

65
Q

What is VO2

A

VO2 is the volume of oxygen consumed during a bout of exercise

66
Q

What happens to VO2 at a constant workload?

A

< 70% VO2 max, remain constant (steady state)

>70% VO2 max, start to increase (O2 drift)

67
Q

What is EPOC? What occurs during EPOC?

A

Excess post-exercise O2 consumption: the amount of extra O2 consumed following a bout of exercise
This is the time in which body T lowers, PCr stores replenished, HR lowers back to normal, and some clearance of lactate

68
Q

If oxygen consumption does not initially meet demands, then how is a workload maintained during the initial stages of exercise?

A

Anaerobic ATP PCr system is used initially

69
Q

What is the half life of lactate following exercise

A

It is 15-20 minutes post exercise

70
Q

What are the causes of EPOC?

A

Restoration of ATP-PC stores
Restoration of O2 stores
Elevated cardiovascular – respiratory function (more breaths and higher HR)
Elevated hormonal levels (epine and nore)
Elevated body T (most important of EPOC – Increase T = Increase in metaboic rate)
Lactate removal – accum of lactate must be removed
E substrate shift (from carbo to fat during this recovery)

71
Q

What is the Hill-Meyerhoff theory

A

States that during recovery, a fair amount lactate is oxidized and we still have lactate consumption as long as O2 is present – a portion getting resyn as glycogen as well

72
Q

What is RQ?

A

the ratio of CO2 produced/CO2 consumed at the cellular level

73
Q

What is the difference between RQ and RER?

A

RQ is cellular whereas RER is the whole body resp and is usually below 0.7 (dip in CO2 following exercise bout) or above 1.0 (excess CO2)

74
Q

What is the normal RQ for fat? For Carbohydrates?

A

Fat: 0.7
Carbohydrate: 1.0

75
Q

Can RQ go above 1.0 or below 0.7?

A

It goes above 1.0 when there is a high deposition of fat from carbohydrates

76
Q

What happens to VO2 in short, light/moderate intensity exercise?

A

It increases and then levels off

77
Q

What happens to VO2 in long, moderate/heavy intensity exercise?

A

Increases, levels off, then increase again due to cardiac drift

78
Q

What happens to VO2 in incremental exercise to max intensity exercise?

A

It will keep increasing until you reach VO2 max (theoretical) or VO2 peak (actual)

79
Q

What is the equation for work?

A

W = force (load) x distance (rev/min *d)

80
Q

Equation to calculate the caloric cost of an activity

A

Caloric cost of an activity (kcal/min) = O2 consumed (L/min) * caloric equivalent (kcal/LO2)

81
Q

Equation for Efficiency

A

Efficiency = work output/E expended *100

82
Q

How many kg work = 1 kcal

A

426.8 kg

83
Q

What are the factors that influence economy of movement

A

Sex – if O2 cost is equal at a speed, females will be working at a higher VO2 max than males
Age - children/adolescents are less economical than adults; older adults – economy is higher than child but lower than adult
Training – the more trained, the better the economy

84
Q

Can someone’s Vo2 be different at the same external workload?

A

Yes - it depends on the efficiency of the movement
