Q

Give an example of aerobic exercise and explain the primary source(s) of energy.

A

An example is running, which is an endurance exercise. The primary energy source will be fat. Fat breakdown yielding ATP is lipolysis. The rate of lipolysis is a limiting factor for acquiring ATP. As LIPOLYSIS incorporates overall muscle energy there will be a decrease as contraction INTENSITY increases. In the presence of glycogen DEPLETION, the rate of lipolysis will not be sufficient to reach the exercise’s demand. Depletion leaves few glycogen stores ready for resting muscle activity. Decreasing intensity will spare glycogen to avoid depletion.

63
Q

Give an example of anaerobic exercise and explain the primary source(s) of energy.

A

An example is sprinting, which is a high-intensity exercise. The primary energy source will be carbohydrates. Carbohydrates such as glucose will be made available via glycogen stores and depend on lactic acid accumulation

64
Q

Using your resources, give three reasons why an elite athlete or a trained individual has a higher metabolism than a person who is sedentary or a couch potato.

A

An elite athlete or trained individual utilizes more fat substrates as their primary fuel source from their aerobic respiration. This holds their endurance for long durations, allows their body to find cadence and rhythm quickly, and meet the body’s oxygen demand. On the other hand, a couch potato would utilize carbohydrate substrates as their primary fuel source from anaerobic respiration. This is due to their inability to deliver proper oxygen levels. An elite athlete/trained individual would also have a higher cardiac output during exercise.

1) digest and convert macronutrients fast to be utilized at any time and at a maximum output of energy
2) exercising builds muscle mass and increases resting metabolic rates
3) increases amounts of mitochondria in muscle cells (location for ATP production in aerobic energy system), increasing energy metabolism

65
