fuel selection determination Flashcards
1
Q
factors affecting fuel determination
A
intensity, duration, training status, diet, sex, environmental conditions
2
Q
intense - sprinting example. describe what happens to power
A
highest in early stages
reduction as duration increases
3
Q
what accumulates in intense ex
A
lactate, suggests glycolysis leading to lactate as major production pathway
4
Q
what energy systems are used in intense ex
A
initially substrate level oxidation - pcr, glycolysis to lactate but contribution declines as duration increases
increased phos.oxidation but at the cost of total power generated
5
Q
how long to fully restore max power?
A
requires recovery capacity to maximally utilise substrate-level phosphorylation pathways
6
Q
what fuel sources used in endurance
A
carbs and fat support atp resynthesis
