LESSON 9 - exercise intensity and metabolism Flashcards
define the lactate threshold :
point is the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of lactate and/or lactic acid begins to increase rapidly
what are the four sources of ATP resynthesis ?
- ATP
- PCr
- glycolysis/glycogenesis
- oxidative phosphorylation
what are the three exercise intensity domains ?
- moderate
- heavy
- severe
what is the name of the moderate exercise intensity domaine ?
rest
what is the name of the heavy exercise intensity domaine ?
lactate threshold
what is the name of the severe exercise intensity domaine ?
critical power
what domain do you hit right before achieving that VO2 max ?
critical power (severe)
what are the two metabolic boundaries that define “exercise intensity” ?
lactate threshold and critical power
what is the term defined as “the highest metabolic rate (or VO2) at which blood lactate can be maintained at resting levels” ?
lactate threshold
what is the term defined as “the highest VO2 at which oxidative metabolism can provide all the ATP synthesis requirements” ?
critical power
what separates moderate from heavy intensity exercise domains ?
“comfortable sustainable” from “uncomfortably sustainable”
what separates heavy from severe intensity exercise domains ?
“uncomfortable sustainable” from “uncomfortably unsustainable”
what are the two contributions of “aerobic” systems ?
Phosphocreatine and glycolysis
what is sub maximal exercise ?
ex. going for walk, no muscle cramps, not crazy occurring yet
when do muscle cramps occur ?
with lactic acid buildup
