Lab 3 + 4 prep Flashcards
% muscle mass to total mass
40% avg
- large organ
skeletal muscle contribution to resting metabolic rate
- change with maximal exercise
20% resting metabolic rate
- can increase 100-fold from rest to exercise
- very fast at turning on
ATP storage?
no
- when made, utilized immediately
purpose of metabolic pathways
produce electron donors
- NADH and FADH2
aerobic metabolism
- production of ATP
oxidative phosphorylation
- fat and carbs
anaerobic metabolism
- production of atp
glycolysis and phosphocreatine
- substrate phosphorylation
- carb only
when is anaerobic energy required
transitions - from one power output to another sprinting - 90-100% VO2 max reduced O2 availability - swimming and altitude
avg VO2 max
3.5L/min
improving anaerobic metabolism
anaerobic glycolysis - can increase with training PCr - very small increase - 10-20% by increasing muscle mitochondria (more muscle) - artificial increase with supplements
humans energy efficiency
23-27%
- designed to keep ourselves warm
direct calorimetry
heat production
- measure energy burned by heat produced
- food stuff + O2 –> atp + heat + CO2
indirect calorimetry
CO2 production - spirometry
- measures O2 used
- food stuff + O2 –> atp + heat + CO2
2 types of spirometry
1) closed - chamber - flow through of air
2) open, measures inspired or expired **
how to measure metabolic rate
3 inputs
- in/expired CO2
- in/expired O2
- work output
fraction inspired air
- O2
- CO2
- N2
O2 - 20.93%
CO2 - 0%
N2 - 79.04%
