Exercise Flashcards
What is dynamic exercise?
Rhythmical movement of joints and contraction/ relaxation of muscles (swimming, running, cycling)
What is static exercise?
Maintained contraction for a length of time
What are the 3 sources of energy that support skeletal muscle function
- Immediate energy system
- Anaerobic resp
- Aerobic resp
Which source of energy for skeletal muscle gives fastest ATP supply
Immediate energy system
Function of immediate energy system
Rapid mobilisation of high energy phosphates
Does immediate energy system require oxygen
No
What is the function of creatine phosphate
Provides source of high potential phosphate to maintain contraction
What catalyses reaction in which creatine phosphate provides source of high potential phosphate
Creatine kinase
Does reaction from creatine phosphate to creatine + phosphate produce or require ATP
Produces
How is ATP generated by anaerobic respiration
Via glycolysis
What is excess pyruvate converted to in anaerobic respiration
Lactate
How do lactic acid levels change in 100m sprint
1.6mM to 8.3mM
Where is majority of energy derived from in sustainble exercise
Aerobic respiration
What is VO2
Volume of oxygen consumed
If you are 70kg what is normal VO2
250ml/min
How many ml of oxygen are consumed per minute for each kg of body?
3.6ml
What is VO2max
Maximum oxygen uptake consumed during exercise
When is VO2max reached?
When oxygen consumption remains at steady state despite increase in worklaod
V02= (define each part)
VO2= Q x (Ca02-Cv02) Q= cardiac output Ca02= arterial o2 content Cv02= venous o2 content
What is Ca02-Cv02 known as?
Arteriovenous oxygen difference
What is the V02 max in
a) Elite indurance athletes
b) Mildly active middle aged adults
c) COPD/ advanced heart disease
a) 80-90ml02/(min x kg)
b) 30-40
c) 10-20
Define anaeorbic threshold
Point where lactate starts to accumulate in the body
Is lactic acid produced or metabolised faster? Result of this?
Produced
Metabolic acidosis
