Exercise metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
oxygen deficit
A
lag in oxygen uptake at beginning of exercise or change in intensity
2
Q
Fast portion of EPOC
A
resynthesis of stored PC
replacing muscle cell and blood oxygen stores
3
Q
Slow portion of EPOC
A
increase of body temperature and hormones
gluconeogenesis
4
Q
Physiological factors influencing VO2 max
A
ability of cardiorespiratory system to deliver oxygen to muscles
ability of muscles to take up oxygen and produce ATP aerobically
5
Q
Lactate Threshold
A
point when lactic acid rises disproportionately during incremental exercise
6
Q
Factors related to Lactate Threshold
A
Low tissue oxygen
reliance on glycolysis
activate fast twitch fibers
reduced lactate removal
