Q

Alactacid component involves:

A
  • Resynthesis of ATP and PC stores
  • Resaturation of myoglobin with oxygen
  • Elevated rates of respiration to supply oxygen to provide the energy for ATP production and PC replenishment

Q

(ALACTACID) complete restoration of PC takes up to 3 minutes, but 50% of stores can be replenished after only 30 seconds, during which time approximately how much oxygen is consumed

A

2-3 litres

Q

(ALACTACID) myoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen. It stores oxygen in the muscles, where it is released into the mitochondria for

Q

(ALACTACID) after exercise, oxygen stores in the mitochondria are limited. The surplus of oxygen supplied through EPOC helps replenish these stores, taking up to

A

2 minutes and using approximately 0.5 litres of oxygen

Q

Lactacid component involves:

A
  • Removal of excess lactic acid from muscle cells/blood
  • Maintain high heart rate
  • Maintain breathing rate
  • Maintain body temperature
  • Restoration of glycogen stores (from glycogen stores in body and carbohydrate intake)

16
Q

(LACTACID) lactic acid can be removed in the following ways:

A
  • oxidation into CO2 and H2O in the inactive muscles and organs
  • used as an energy source
  • conversion into glycogen - then stored in muscles/liver
  • conversion into protein
  • conversion into glucose
  • excreted in sweat/urine
17
Q

Size and duration of EPOC varies with the intensity of exercise, from which you are recovering. Intense exercise require more oxygen for recovery, and recovery will take

A

longer

18
Q

The longer the duration of the exercise, the longer

A

recovery will take

19
Q

The level of fitness affects duration of EPOC, fitter the performer the

A

quicker the recovery

20
Q

During lactacid component of EPOC, glycogen stores are replenished. The replacement of glycogen stores depends on the

A

type of exercise undertaken and when and how much carbohydrate is consumed following exercise

21
Q

(lactacid) glycogen replenishment may take several days to complete the restoration of glycogen after a marathon, but a significant amount of glycogen can be restored in less than an hour after

A

long-duration, low-intensity exercise

22
Q

(lactacid) eating a high-carbohydrate meal will accelerate glycogen replenishment as will…

A

eating within an hour following exercise

23
Q

(lactacid) increase in breathing and heart rates is important to assist recovery where extra oxygen is required to return the body to its pre-exercise state. However, the increase in breathing and heart rates requires additional extra oxygen to provide energy for the

A

muscles of the heart and respiratory system

24
Q

(lactacid) the continuation of sub-maximal exercise (such as cool-down) will keep hormone levels elevated and this will

A

keep respiratory and metabolic levels high so that extra oxygen can be taken in

25
Q

(lactacid) when temperature remains high, respiratory rate will also remain high and this will help the performer take in more oxygen during recovery. However, extra oxygen is required to fuel this increase in temperature until

A

the body returns to normal

26
Q

Fate of lactic acid due after EPOC:

A
  • Oxidation into CO2 and H2O - 65%
  • Conversion into glycogen (then stored in muscle and liver=cori cycle) - 20%
  • Conversion into protein - 10%
  • Conversion into glucose - 5%
27
Q

The lactate shuttle is a recovery process after

A

intense exercise

28
Q

(LACTATE SHUTTLE) Small proportion of lactic acid produced is released into the bloodstream and used directly as a fuel by the heart muscle and liver to produce

A

Blood glucose and glycogen

29
Q

2 methods by which the body deals with an excess of lactic acid:

A
  • Converting lactic acid to pyruvate (oxidation) - aerobic process occurs
  • Transporting the lactic acid to the liver via the bloodstream where it can be reconverted to glucose (cori cycle)
30
Q

(LACTATE SHUTTLE) is the reverse process to glycolysis and requires energy from

A

ATP breakdown

31
Q

Implications of recovery for interval training: There is only a short interval between bouts of exercise, the level of phosphagen stores gradually reduces thereby reducing the energy available for the later bouts. This:

A
  • Stresses the ATP and PC storage and forces the muscle cells to adapt by storing more of these quantities
  • Cells will adapt by improving their ability to provide O2 and hence increase the possible size of the alactic component
32
Q

(Implications of recovery for interval training) anaerobic interval training has shown that 30 second bouts of exercise increase the activities of glycolytic enzymes, this increase in glycolytic capacity will allow the muscle to

A

develop greater tension for a longer period of time as the muscle tissue increases its lactate tolerance

33
Q

Lactic acid removal: cool down continues to provide oxygen to the skeletal muscle, this therefore enhances

A

oxidation of lactic acid and ensures that less lactic acid remains in tissues, less muscle soreness (DOMS)
