Lecture 2 Flashcards
Steady State Aerobic Exercise System contributions at different intensities
Energy sources at constant intensity submaximal aerobic exercise onset
Immediate Energy store for muscular contraction: The CP-ATP system
“stored” ATP in cell used for:
rapid transitions in energy expenditure
Immediate Energy store for muscular contraction: The CP-ATP system
Engaged at:
- start of exercise or abrupt changes in effort
Immediate Energy store for muscular contraction: The CP-ATP system
Limited store:
6-8 seconds of all out-work
Immediate Energy store for muscular contraction: The CP-ATP system
Rapid resynthesis of this “storage” pool of ATP is accomplished via
hydrolysis of creatine phosphate (CP)
Immediate Energy store for muscular contraction: The CP-ATP system
Transfer rate is __X that of aerobic pathways
4-8X
Energy demand equation
-catalyzed by
CP + ADP → ATP + C
- catalyzed by creatine kinase*
- ATP levels will decrease in active muscle with critical depletion of CP stores*
Recovery (rapid) equation
C + ATP → ADP + CP
From what is recovery ATP derived?
Catabolism of foodstuffs via glycolysis or aerobic metabolism
Testing Capacity of Immediate Energy System
Performance
Power tests:
- stair climbing, jumping
- sprint (40yd sprint for football)
- power tests used for specific performance gains with training (within the same subject) and for training itself
Testing Capacity of Immediate Energy System
Assumptions/Design
- All ATP is generated via CP-ATP system at peak power output
- Enough CP/ATP stored to support maximum performance
Testing Capacity of Immediate Energy System
Significant limitations
- Test <6 seconds
- link of performance and general CP-ATP capacity hard to assess in field tests
- Performance is skill & motivation dependent
Short term system: glycolysis
Duration:
Additional ATP production from:
>6s
Additional ATP production from glycolysis and aerobic mechanisms
Short term system: glycolysis
Proportion provided from anaerobic/aerobic sources depends on
intensity and duration of exercise
Short-term Energy system tests
Performance for anaerobic power
- Wingate test (cycle ergometer or arm crank)
- Repetitive testing (running, weightlifting)
