exercise phys exam 2 Flashcards
lactate threshold
the point where there is a sudden increase in blood lactate concentration during the incremental test
Fick equation
vo2=CO x (a-v O2)
O2 drift
vo2 gradually increases despite intensity staying the same
what influences O2 drift
- hot environment
- high intensity
vo2 max
the plateau in vo2 despite intensity getting harder
RER equation
VCO2/VO2
produced/consumed
an RER of 1 is relying on what?
carbs
an RER of 0.70 is relying on what?
fats
crossover concept
rely less on fats and more on carbs as intensity increases
lactate during exercise acts as a?
signaling metabolite
lactate reduces what?
lipolysis
short term high intensity exercise relies on what system
ATP-PC system
as duration of high intensity exercise goes on, what do you rely on?
anaerobic glycolysis
prolonged low intensity exercise relies on what?
aerobic metabolism
what does aerobic metabolism use as fuel?
carbs and fats
what is the rate limiting enzyme of glycolysis?
phosphofructokinase (PFK)
what molecule must be used to start the krebs cycle?
acetyl coa
what is the prep step?
pyruvate being converted to acetyl coa
how many NADH get formed from pyruvate
2 NADH
how many ATP does NADH yield?
2.5 ATP
how many ATP does FADH yield?
1.5 ATP
what is the rate limiting enzyme of the krebs cycle?
isocitrate dehydrogenase
how many ATP is each acetyl coa worth?
10 ATP
