Molecular adaptations

A

A group of single and multi-functional kinases, detect and respond to intracellular levels of calcium

108
Q

What is CANKs response to exercise?

Molecular adaptations

A

It is upregulated as presumably the muscle cell has been flooded with lots of Ca2+ to initiate contraction across exercise protocol

109
Q

Important molecules in molecular adaptation to resistance training

(Molecular adaptations)

A

IGF-1

mTOR

110
Q

What is IGF-1?

Molecular adaptations

A

A hormone that moves about the body as is increased in response to resistance training (RT)

It elicits strong adaptation in the muscle itself to enable hypertrophy to occur

111
Q

Once bound to an IGFreceptor what happens?

Molecular adaptations

A

Initiates a downstream signalling pathway that ultimately at the end increases protein synthesis and thus hypertrophy

112
Q

What does FOxO1 do?

Molecular adaptations

A

Deals with protein breakdown, want to block this for hypertrophy processes (so IGF-1 will block this pathway)

113
Q

IMPORTANT

What is the basic intracellular signalling pathway?

(Molecular adaptations)

A

IGF-1 interacts with a receptor, initiates a signalling pathway which ultimately acts to increase protein synthesis

Akt acts on mTOR and then via a transcription factor increases protein synthesis

114
Q

Longhand of mTOR

Molecular adaptations

A

Mammalian target of rapomycin

115
Q

What is mTOR used for?

Molecular adaptations

A

Increase ribosomal content, can increase cell growth through hypertrophy type mechanisms (effectively building strength)

116
Q

Molecular adaptations

A

Changes in mRNA transcription
Increase ribosomal biogenesis
Change nutrient metabolism

117
Q

What are the two forms of mTOR?

Molecular adaptations

A

mTOR-raptor

mTOR-rictor

118
Q

What regulates mTOR?

Why is this important?

(Molecular adaptations)

A

So can be regulated via endurance exercise how much hypertrophy how much we can effectively gain

This is where the interplay between RT & endurance training comes in

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

AMPK activates TSC2 which inhibits mTOR, which reduces protein synthesis

133
Q

What is the effect of Akt on TSC2?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

Akt inhibits TSC2 which means that there is less inhibition on mTOR and increases protein synthesis

134
Q

What is eEF2

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

A molecule involved in the translation of DNA to build proteins

135
Q

What is endurance exercise effect eEF2?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

Increase in calcium (due to muscle contraction) -> releases CaMKinase -> phosphorylates eEF2 -> blocks translation of mRNA messenger molecule in the cytoplasm of the cell -> stops the ribosome building the protein

136
Q

What is the effect of resistance training on eEF2?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

Increase in S6K -> inhibits eEF2 -> allows ribosome to function freely and translate

137
Q

FoxO transcription factor has been implicated in what?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

Promoting mRNA abundance with mitochondrial biogenesis and myofibrillar protein degradation

138
Q

What is the effect of endurance exercise on FoxO transcription factor

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Increases FoxO1 -> mRNA transcription via PGC-1alpha -> leads to mitochondrial biogenesis

139
Q

What is the effect of resistance training on FoxO transcription factor?

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Blocks FoxO1 having an effect and turns off those protein pathways and initiates protein degradation

140
Q

What is a big issue with concurrent training?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A

Carry on effects from resistance training (fatigue) could impact endurance training

141
Q

What are the ways concurrent training can negatively impact an endurance athletes potential endurance ability

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Impaired neural recruitment patterns
Reduced movement efficiency due to alteration in kinematics during endurance exercise and increased energy expenditure
Increased muscle soreness
Reduced muscle glycogen

142
Q

If endurance training quality is consistently compromised during the course of a specific concurrent training programme, what may be limited?

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Optimal endurance development

143
Q

What factors may bring about the interference effect?

Concurrent training and interference effect

A 
Frequency >3x per week
Volume, high volume, more interference
Intensity - point on other flashcard 
Type of exercise 
Training status of participants 
Sequencing of sessions 
Control of confounding variables, eg nutrition
144
Q

How many high intensity endurance exercise actually cause less interference?

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Working on similar pathways as you would during resistance training, so a bit of a crossover

145
Q

What should you be aware of when bringing a new individual into a concurrent programme

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

How you load them at the start

To not overload them across the programme

146
Q

Should you do resistance or endurance first in a concurrent programme

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Research seems to suggest resistance
But
Depends on sport/individual/what you want to develop

147
Q

What happens if you do endurance training first and don’t take necessary precautions (rehydration) over a prolonged period of time

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Problems become chronic - leading to sub-optimal endurance development

148
Q

Maximal hypertrophic potential with concurrent exercise training may be achieved by

(Concurrent training and interference effect)

A

Separating exercise bouts by 6-24hrs

Adopting strategies that minimise overall exercise volume

Favouring cycling as opposed to running

149
