integration Flashcards
what are necessary factors in oxidative phosphorylation
oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide
what is RER
respiratory exchange ratio
= VCO2/O2
if RER close to 1 then what fuel source
CHO
if RER is close to 0.7 then what is the fuel source
fat
glycosis (anerobic) can be converted into pyuvate what two things does this convert into
lactic acid
Acetyl CoA
what is the quickest source of ATP
- when we have limited ATP stores
- ATP = ADP +Pi
- we must constantly synthesize new ATP from our fuel stores of Creatine phosphate and glycogen
what can recycle ADP/ATP during exercise until used up
PCr
what pathway out of aerobic and anerobic has more ATP produced
aerobic
what type of muscles fibres fatigue easily
type 2b - fast twitch
what type fibres are used for more endurance
slow witch
- type 1
what can influence muscle fibres
genetics - parents
early sports
other than VO2 max what is the other parameter important to athletes
lactate accumlution
what is lactate threshold
lactate begins to accumulate above resting concentrations during exercise when intensity increases
what is the main fuel source at low intentisy
fat
what is EPOC
exercise post oxygen consumption
it takes time after exercise for O2 to reach rest levels
what systems are involved in resotring oxygen levels after exercise (EPOC)
restore ATP and PCr to combust the lactate
why does CO increase more in trained (8x more than at rest)
HR increases as intensity increases
SV - plateaus
what is the accurate equation to measure HRmax
208-(0.7 xage)
what is the relationship for HR at steady state
increase rapid then plateu
if one athlete has lower HR than other at steady state
then will have better endurance capacity and can extract more oxygen - more mitochondria
