EXERCISE VS DIET, THE PHYSIOLOGY Flashcards

1
Q

CVD SYSTEM DURING EXERCISE?

A
  • BLOOD VESSELS TO SKELETAL MUSCLES ARE DILATED TO DELIVER MORE BLOOD
  • LOCAL BLOOD FLOW IS INCREASED
  • TO MAINTAIN BP, THE BLOOD VESSELS TO OTHER ORGANS SUCH AS KIDNEYS AND THE GI TRACT ARE CONSTRICTED SO THE BLOOD IS SHUNTED AWAY FROM THESE ORGANS AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE EXERCISING MUSCLES
  • HEAT GENERATED BY INCREASED MUSCLE METABOLISM ALSO DILATES BLOOD VESSELS IN THE WORKING MUSCLES
  • HEART RATE IS INCREASED

Q

EXPLAIN WHY PHYSIOLOGY IS A HOLISTIC DISCIPLINE?

A

BECAUSE IT STUDIES THE WAYS IN WHICH THE WHOLE BODY FUNCTIONS IN HEALTH, DOES NOT SIMPLY STUDY EACH SYSTEM OF THE BODY. INDIVIDUALS COMPONENTS ARE INTIMATELY INTERCONNECTED AND FULLY UNDERSTANDABLE ONLY BY REFERENCE TO THE BODY AS A WHOLE

Q

WHY DOES GLUCOSE PRODUCE ATP FASTER THAN FATTY ACIDS?

A

BECAUSE THE GLYCOLYSIS OCCURS IN CYTOPLASM AND FATTY ACIDS NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED TO ACYL CoA TO ENTER THE MITOCHONDRIA WHERE THE BETA OXIDATION WILL TAKE PLACE

Q

DESCRIBE HOW MUSCLES CREATE ATP THROUGH DIRECT PHOSPHORYLATION?

A
  • CELLS WILL USE CREATINE PHOSPHATE (PHOSPHOCREATINE) TO QUICKLY REPLENISH THE ATP STORES (ESP DURING ANAEROBIC EXERCISE)
  • CREATINE PHOSPHATE IS ALSO A HIGH ENERGY MOLECULE BECAUSE OF THE PHOSPHATE BOND
  • IT WILL CONVERT ADP TO ATP
  • CREATINE IS FORMED DURING THIS PROCESS AND IT CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE MUSCLE

YES

25
Q

A

WHEN MUSCLES ARE AT REST

27
Q

A

A FEW SECONDS

28
Q

WHEN ATP AND CREATINE PHOSPHATE STORES ARE EXHAUSTED, HOW WILL MUSCLE GENERATE MORE ATP?

A

BY BREAKING DOWN GLUCOSE FROM FOOD OR MUSCLE’S OWN GLYCOGEN STORES

  • GLYCOLYSIS WILL GIVE 2 ATP MOLECULES
  • ORDINARILY THE PYRUVATE PRODUCED WILL ENTER MITOCHONDRIA AND PRODUCE MORE ATP
29
Q

ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS IN MUSCLES; EXPLAIN:

A
  • WHEN MUSCLES CONTRACT VIGOROUSLY AND CONTRACTILE ACTIVITY REACHES ABOUT 70% OF THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE THE BULGING MUSCLES COMPRESS THE BLOOD VESSELS WITH THEM IMPAIRING BLOOD FLOW AND OXYGEN DELIVERY
  • UNDER THESE ANAEROBIC CONDITIONS, MOST PYRUVATE IS CONVERTED INTO LACTATE (OR LACTIC ACID)
30
Q

WHAT IS THE END PRODUCT OF CELLULAR METABOLISM OF GLUCOSE DURING OXYGEN DEFICIT?

A

LACTATE

31
Q

WHAT HAPPENS TO LACTATE PRODUCED IN MUSCLES DURING INTENSE EXERCISE?

A
  • HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF LACTATE ARE TOXIC TO MUSCLE AND MAY LEAD TO CRAMPS
  • LACTATE DIFFUSES OUT OF THE MUSCLE INTO THE BLOOD STREAM
  • THE LIVER (AND KIDNEYS) WILL PICK IT UP AND USE AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY BUT ALSO WILL RECONVERT IT INTO PYRUVATE OR GLUCOSE AND THEN RELEASE THEM BACK INTO THE BLOOD STREAM FOR MUSCLE USE
32
Q

WHAT IS THE CYCLE THAT INVOLVES UPTAKE OF LACTATE BY LIVER, CONVERSION INTO PYRUVATE AND GLUCOSE AND RELEASE BACK INTO THE BLOODSTREAM FOR THE PERIPHERAL TISSUES TO USE CALLED?

A

THE CORI CYCLE

33
Q

APART FROM DURING INTENSE EXERCISE, IN WHICH OTHER SITUATION CAN CORI CYCLE OCCUR?

A

DURING LONG FASTING

34
Q

35
Q

AEROBIC RESPIRATION NORMALLY USES WHICH SUBSTRATES FOR ATP?

A

GLUCOSE AND FATTY ACIDS

36
Q

WHAT IS PRODUCED DURING AEROBIC RESPIRATION?

A

LARGE AMOUNTS OF ATP, CO2, H2O AND HEAT

37
Q

WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES TO AEROBIC RESPIRATION?

A

IT IS SLOW,REQUIRES A CONTINUOUS DELIVERY OF OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS

38
Q

A

6

39
Q

ATP FORMED FROM CREATINE PHOSPHATE WILL BE USED BY WHICH SECOND OF HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE?

A

10TH

40
Q

THE ONLY REASON WHY MUSCLE WOULD CREATE ATP VIA ANAEROBIC PATHWAY IS?

50
Q

WHY HAS MODERATE-INTENSITY CONTINUOUS TRAINING (MICT) TRADITIONALLY BEEN USED FOR REDUCING BODY FAT INSTEAD OF HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT)?

A

BECAUSE IT INCREASES THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SKELETAL MUSCLE FAT OXIDATION, WHILE HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE CAN ONLY BE MAINTAINED BY GLYCOGEN

51
Q

NEW RESEARCH IS SHOWING THAT SHORT TERM HIIT MIGHT HAVE SIMILAR EFFECTS ON BODY FAT REDUCTION AS MICT. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POSSIBLE MECHANISMS?

A
  • HIIT IS PORMOTING THE USE OF FATTY ACIDS IN MUSCLE AFTER EXERCISING
  • HIIT IS INCREASING LIPOLYSIS
    . HIIT DECREASES VISCERAL FAT MASS

Q

WHAT ARE INCREASES IN MUSCULAR STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE ASSOCIATED WITH?
