final Flashcards
anemia
more severe than iron deficiency
iron deficiency
- amount of iron absorbed in SI not enough to meet demand
- constant demand for RBC
- transport issue
Iron deficiency anemia
impairment to hemoglobin synthesis
symptoms of iron in the female athlete
- fatigue
- brain fog
- anxiety
- muscle weakness
Iron deficiency ____ VO2 max
- decreases
- because not enough hemoglobin
low iron ____ muscle tissue oxidation capacity
- decreases
- compromises reactions in Krebs and ATP in ETC because decreased ability to carry electrons
low iron _____ O2 transportation
- decreases
- effects bodies ability to resynthesize phosphocreatine and recover
low iron ______ speed of athlete
- decreases
overall impact of low iron
lowers kreb activity > lowers NADH > lowers mito atp formation > increase reliance on glycolysis, lactate formation > less ATP
____ ATP total
38
iron absorption
- based on ability to get into enterocyte and into B
- iron has to be in specific form
2 states of iron
- Fe2+ (ferrous iron)
Fe3+ (ferric iron)
what iron form is able to be absorbed
Fe2+ ferrous iron
DMT1
- transporter
- best with Fe2+
- 2
how is Fe3+ converted
with vitamin C
mechanisms of iron loss
- insufficient iron intake
- sweating
- GI bleeding
- menstrual B loss
- net plasma dilution
- hemolysis (heel strike)
hemolysis
- destruction of RBC
- induced by chronic mechanical trauma
- high impact repetitive foot striking, associated with running
- hemoglobin escapes from raptured membrane of a RBC
- iron stored via ferritin or recycled
interleukin 6 (IL-6)
- energy sensor
- duration has the biggest influence on how much is released
- increase in response to decreased intramuscular glycogen content esp with extended duration
- cytokine (produced and released from muscle by contracting sm)
- pro-inflammatory
glycogen depletion > IL-6 > release FA > energy
hepcidin
- decreases how much Fe absorbed from the diet
- peaks 3hrs after exercise
- synthesized and released by liver
- master regulator of systemic iron homeostasis
- degrades sensor (ferroprotin) on cell where iron stored > traps Fe in cell > not released to body
where is Fe stored
- in macrophages in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow
where is Fe absorbed
enterocyte
Fe deficiency and sport team athletes article
- sig decrease in Fe tatus over 11 wk training w/o Fe supplement
- w/ Fe supplement, increase % of strength
- changes in HgB sig associated with changes in strength (needed for recovery between bouts of intense exercise)
oral iron supplement
- increases circulating hepcidin
- if >80mg, triggers hepcidin increase and decrease of Fe absorption
- take lower less often (40-80mg)
most effective time for Fe
- AM more Fe absorption
- more effectively incorporated into RBC
- because hepcidin increase later in day
how to fight anemia
- meat, fish, poultry factor
- combo of plant-based foods with vC
what competes with iron binding
- tea
- red wine
- calcium
trail mix and iron
- lots of calories
- plant based iron from dark chocolate, raisins, and nuts
- dried fruit for carbs and vit c
- healthy fats, micronutrients, salt
problem with body armor
doesn’t have enough sodium
factors that influence fluid needs
- mode, intensity, duration
- total fluid loss
- heat, humidity
- clothing
- heat acclimatization
- individual sweat rate
- dietary composition
total fluid loss
sweat rate of given exercise
intensity x total duration of acivity
part of the brain that is thermostat for temperature regulation
hypothalamus
muscle vs fat water concentrations
- muscle = 70% water
- fat = 10-20% water
- water released during exercise
1g glycogen = ____ g water
3
cardiac output
- HR x SV
- flow of oxygen and glucose to the muscle
- dissipates heat
- increased by rise in HR or SV
- less C output because less water in B = higher HR to meet demands of body
body fluid compartments
- intracellular
- interstitial fluid
- plasma
when is there less water in plasma
during dehydration
B flow during exercise
- BVs give muscles and skin fluid
- less PV causes competition for water between muscle and skin
