Q

What are fats(healthy)

A

provides 2/3 of energy requirements at rests. As intensity increases fat use decreases the use of CHO use. Used in your daily diet 25-30%. n example is avocadoes

Q

What is the glycaemic index?

A

The GI is a 2 hour period provides an indicator of how quickly glucose is broken down and released into the bloodstream. Its a scale from 0-100.

Q

Describe 2 disadvantages of the ATP PC system

A

1.finite capacity as there is only 2-3seconds worth of PC stored in the muscles.
2. maximal capaity can maintained for 10 seconds

Q

Why do you need to have a Passive recovery for ATP PC system

27
Q

Why so sprinters walk slowly between there sprints?

A

because they need a passive recovery to enable PC to be rebuilt at the fastest rate. This wil enable the sprinter to perform their next sprint at the maximal intensity(95%HRM) and maintain a high contribution from the ATp PC system

28
Q

What is the fatiguing mechanism of ATP_PC

A

PC depletion

29
Q

What is the capacity of ATP-PC

A

very low capacity to rebuild ATP

30
Q

What is the Chemical pathway for the anaerobic gycolosis system and the re-synthesis of ATP

A

glycogen-glucose-pyruvic acid-lactate/H+ accumulation

31
Q

Describe why the anaerobic glycolosis system cant produce energy (rebuild) as rapidly as the ATP system?

A

the anaerobic system can not rebuild atp as rapidly as it has a more complex chemical pathway this results in decreased intensity-85-95%

32
Q

What is the food fuel for the ATP-PC system?

A

no food fuel!

33
Q

What is the fuel substrate of the ATP-PC system?

A

Creatine Phosphate

34
Q

What is the intensity of %Hrm of the ATP-PC system?

35
Q

What is the rate of ATP re synthesis of the ATP-PC system?
