Q

What does evidence suggest about exercise intensity?

A

Cellular stress occurs in proportion to exercise intensity:
- Greater metabolic response to high-intensity exercise compared to moderate

Q

Explain the study that shows superior mitochondrial adaptation from interval compared to continuous

A
  • Counterweighted, single-leg cycling
  • study adaptations in same subject
  • 10 young men
  • 6 sessions HIIT 1 leg
  • 6 session MICT other leg
  • Matched total work
  • 2 weeks

Q

Describe the differences between MICT and HIIT when matched for work

A
  • Skeletal muscle capillarization greater in MICT
  • Skeletal mitochondrial density greater for HIIT
  • VO2max greater for HIIT
17
Q

What can exercise training do for individuals with type 2 diabetes? What is not known about it?

A
  • Improve glycaemic control
  • Unknown optimal training regimen
18
Q

What is the acute response of the pancreas to exercise bouts?

A
  • Decrease Insulin Secretion
  • Increase Glucagon Secretion
19
Q

What is the acute response of the liver to exercise bouts?

A
  • Increase in Glucose Release
20
Q

What is the acute response of adipose tissue to exercise bouts?

A
  • Increase in Triacylglycerol Breakdown
  • Increase in NEFA Release
21
Q

How does HIT compare to MICT with glycaemic improvement?

A

HIT
- Confer superior glycaemic improvement with lower time commitment

22
Q

How do athletes achieve training in a low carbohydrate state?

A
  • Fast overnight: reduce glycogen content/lowers carb available
  • Training 2/day: depletes muscle glycogen from first bout
  • Sleep Low: both above; reduced muscle glycogen by training, reduced liver glycogen by fasting
23
Q

Why would someone train in low carb availability?

A

Type 2 Diabetes
- Superior Glycaemic improvements
- High-intensity after meal
- low-intensity fasted conditions

24
Q

what are the benefits of strength training for glycemic control?

A
  • promotes skeletal muscle hypertrophy and increases strength,
  • more powerful contractions fuelled by glycolysis and supported by higher lactate dehydrogenase content
25
Q

what are the benefits of aerobic training for glycemic control?

A
  • enhances cardiovascular function
  • promotes skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis
  • improving exercise endurance
26
Q

which type of training helps with glycemic control?

A

all training types improve skeletal muscle glucose transport and glycogen
synthesis capacity, expanding glycogen stores and improving glycaemic control
