Lecture Exam 1 (part 3) Flashcards
How fatigue affects force production in a muscle (model)
task dependency model of fatigue
Task dependency model of fatigue says this
what causes fatigue is dependent on the activity in which we are participating
two hypothesis of the task dependency model of fatigue
accumulation hypothesis
depletion hypothesis
accumulation hypothesis says this
build up of metabolic byproducts cause fatigue
es. lactate, Pi, ammonia
depletion hypothesis says this
we run low on NT, or energy substrate and that causes fatigue
This hypothesis is said to come into play in exercises that last 20-30 sec to 2-3 min
accumulation hypothesis
by products in the accumulation hypothesis are these
substances produced while making ATP
lactate, Pi, ammonia
average exhurtion for the accumulation hypothesis
70-80% max
in the accumulation hypothesis ATP mostly comes from here
anaerobic glycolysis
carbohydrates are broken down to produce ATP and lactate
Things that ties all the metabolic byproducts together in the accumulation hypothesis
build up of materials lowers the intracellular pH
Lactate build up can cause fatigue in this ways (4)
Decrease in pH interfers with Ca++ from SR
Bond between Actin/Myosin is not as strong in low pH leading to less force production
Interfers with ATP breakdown due to low pH interfering with ATPase activity
interfers with ATP production, acidic pH interfers with rate of enzyme activity in glycolysis
How Pi can cause fatigue (4)
Pi build up interfers with actin/myosin affinity
Pi interfers with Ca++ release from SR
Troponin-Ca++ binding affinity inhibitied
Interfers with Ca++ reuptake
Where does Pi come from
ATP breakdown produces ADP + Pi + energy
How Ammonia can cause fatigue
Reduces AP propagation along the sacrolema
Where does ammonia come from
ADP builds up during exercise
ADP + AK -> ATP + AMP
AMP acted on by AMP deaminase
AMP + AMPdeaminase -> IMP + Ammonia
THis is the largest factor affecting fatigue in the accumulation hypothesis
change in pH
T/F: all of the accumulated substrates work together to cause fatigue
T
How to modify acid/base chemistry to reduce fatigue
Sodium bicarb loading
exercise training
how does sodium bicarb loading affect acid/base chemistry
increases proformance by acting as additional blood buffer
increases the bloods ability to buffer the acidic byproducts of metabolism
how does exercise training affect acid/base chemistry
causes physiological shift to tolerate the added acidic stress placed on the body during training
Two branches of depletion hypothesis
neural fatigue
energy substrate depletion
