Q

What does GPx do?

A

Uses reduced glutathione to reduce H2O2 to oxidized glutathione and water

17
Q

What is the enzymatic pathway for detoxification of ROS?

A

ROS + H2O -> (SOD) -> H2O2 + O2

H2O2 -> (Catalase & GPx) -> H20 + O2

18
Q

How are free radicals produced?

A

2-5% of all oxygen consumed in the mitochondria forms free radicals

19
Q

What are the three steps of energy transfer and exercise?

A

Glycolysis
Lactic Acid System
Recovery from Exercise

20
Q

What is the rate limiting step of glycolysis?

A

Conversion of F6P to F-1,6-BiP, catalyzed by PFK

21
Q

Definition:

Blood Lactate Threshold

A

Definition:

Highest Oxygen Consumption with less than 1.0mM/L increase in Blood Lactate Accumulation

22
Q

Definition:

Onset Blood Lactate Accumulation

A

Definition:

A systematic increase to 4.0mM/L

23
Q

What is the role of Sodium Bicarbonate in athletic performance?

A

NaHCO3 acts as a buffer to counter acidity from Lactate accumulation

24
Q

What is the recommended starting dose for Sodium Bicarbonate?

A

0.2-0.4g/kg of body weight
1-2hrs pre-exercise
in flavored water or capsules

25
Q

Definition:

Max VO2

A

Definition:

The point at which oxygen consumption plateaus and shows no further increase in workload

26
Q

What is the Max VO2 in Women?

A

Runners - 65
Swimmers - 56
Sedentary - 39

27
Q

What is the Max VO2 in Men

A

Runners - 80
Swimmers - 75
Sedentary - 44

28
Q

Definition:

Oxygen Deficit

A

Definition:
The difference between the total oxygen consumed and the total oxygen that should have been consumed if a steady rate of aerobic metabolism has been reached at the start of the exercise

29
Q
Definition:
Oxygen Debt (EPOC)
A

Definition:

Oxygen consumed during the recovery that exceeds the amount of oxygen that would be consumed at resting levels.

30
Q

Definition:

EPOC

A

Definition:

Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption

31
Q

What is the smallest contractile unit of the skeletal muscle?

A

The Sarcomere

32
Q

Definition:

Muscle Unit

A

Definition:

A single alpha motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that neuron activates
