- fast glycolytic
muscle fiber and MHC are not the only factors that influence muscle performance
if endurance is the goal, MHC it would be ideal if all else was equal
if speed was the goal, MHC 2a or 2x would be ideal if all else was equal
an unequal state would be (how it affects how efficient their running is)
- biomechanics of movement
bigger motor nerons
turn on slower
if you want maximal force of a muscle what motor nerons do you want
a massive rate coding of ALL motor neurons
if you want to create force in a motor unit and fire one motor neuron then
it is an all or none principle they all turn on
trainability of aerobic system at the muscle level

what are the three methods to determine the human energy expenditure
direct and indirect calorimetry
doubly labeled water
heart rate
all of the bodys metabolic processes result in ___ production
heat
the rate of heat production operationally defines the rate of
energy metabolism
what is the basic unit of heat measurement
calorie
what are the direct calorimetry methods
human calorimetry airflow calorimetry water flow calorimetry gradient layer calorimetry storage calorimetry
why is the direct calorimetry not practical
large expense and resource
indirect calorimetry as a closed system is used how
all energy releasing reactions in humans depend on oxygen use, so measuring oxygen consumption during physical activities provides an indirect yet accurate estimate of energy expenditure
participant breaths into and out of a closed system
- breath in 100% o2 from container (spirometer)
- canister of soda lime absorbs co2
- revolving drum; records o2 removed
indirect calorimetry as an open system works how
ambient air
- 20.93% oxygen
- o.o3% carbon dioxide
- 79.04% nitrogen
factors
- volume
composition
3 techniques
- bag technique
- computerized instrumentation (met cart)
- portable spirometry
what is the bag technique
an indirect open system calorimetry technique used how
air is collected in a large bag (douglas bag)
small saple is measured for gas concentrations
what is the portable spirometry
an indirect open system calorimetry technique
spirometer is small and is carries in a pack
air volume is metered
sample is collected to measure concentrations of gases
what is the RER
the respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio between the amount of carbon dioxide produced in metabolism and oxygen used to create energy from lipid and CHO fuel sources in the body
RQ is equal to
co2 eliminated / o2 consumed
the respiratory exchange ratio reflects the ratio of co2 produced to o2 consumed when factors other then food combustion alter the
exchange of 02 and co2 in the lungs as the ratio of gas exchange no longer reflects only the substrate mixture pf energy metabolism
(computed the same as RQ)
what is the RQ
the respiratory quotient
carb fat and protein require different amounts of 02 for complete oxidation of each molecules carbon and hydrogen atoms to the CO2 and water end products
describes the ratio of metabolic gas exchange
what is the RQ for carbs
1
because gas exchange during glucose oxidation produces a number of co2 molecules equal to the number of o2 molecules consumed
what is fats RQ
0.70
because fat catabolism requires more o2 in relation to co2 production
protein RQ
0.82
because proteins require more oxygen in relation to carbon dioxide produced
what is the doubly labeled water technique
to estimate total daily expenditure in free living conditions
what is the procedure of doubly labeled water
participant consumes water with a known concentration of stable isotopes of hydrogen and o2
labelled hydrogen leaves the body in sweat, urine, and pulmonary water vapor, labeled 02 leaves as both water and co2
differences between elimination rates of isotopes relative to the bodys normal levels estimate total co2 production
what does the doubly labeled water technique provide
an ideal way to asses total energy expenditure over prolonged periods including bed rest and extreme activities
what are the draw backs from doubly labeled water
include the cost of the water and expense incurred in spectrometric analysis of both isotopes
provides data within 3-5% compared to directly measured energy expenditure in controlled settings
how does the heart rate to estimate energy expenditure work
heart rate and oxygen consumption relate linearly over a large range of exercise intensities so the exercise HR provides an estimate of oxygen consumption and thus energy expenditure during aerobic exercise
what is one problem with heart rate to estimate energy expenditure
one major problem is the degree of similarity between the laboratory exercise test to establish the HR-V.O2 line and specific activities to which it applies
what are factors other then oxygen consumption that influence exercise HR response
environmental temperature emotions previous food intake body position muscle groups exercised continuous or discontinuous exercise whether muscles act statically or dynamically
what are the total daily energy expenditure components
thermic effect of feeding
- 10%
- food intake cold stress
- obligatory/facultative thermogenesis
thermic effect of physical activity
- 15-30%
duration/intensity/occupation/home/sport
resting metabolic rate
- 60-75%
- fat free body mass gender thyroid hormones protein turnover
what Is basal metabolic rate (BMR)
the minimum level of energy to sustain vital functions in the waking state
reflects the bodys total heat production
what is the resting metabolic rate (RMR)
always slightly higher than BMR depending on body size, muscle mass, age, health/fitness status, hormonal status, and body temperature
BMR and RMR refers to the
sum of metabolic processes of active cell mass required to sustain normal regulatory balance and body functions during the basal or less stringent resting state
what is the surface area law of BMR and RMR
BMR and RMR should be expressed by body surface area per hour to acknowledge the fundamental relationship between heat production and body size
females have ____ % lower rate then males of the same age because
5-10%
because women possess less fat-free mass
challenges in body composition
either a decrease in FFM and or increase in body fat, help to explain the 2-3% per decade BMR reduction observed for adults
increases in body mass raise the
energy expended in many activities especially weight bearing
with weight supported exercise the influence of body mass on energy cost ____ considerably
decreases
for overweight persons weight bearing exercise generates a considerable
caloric expenditure from the added cost of transporting a heavier body weight
expressing energy cost per kg of body mass reduces differences between
individuals regardless of age race gender and body mass
what are the 5 factors that affect total daily energy expenditure
physical activity diet-induced thermogenesis calorigenic effects of food on exercise metabolism climate pregnancy

facultative thermogenesis
what is obligatory thermogenesis
energy required to digest absorb and assimilate food nutrients
what is facultative thermogenesis
activation of the sympathetic nervous system and its stimulating influence on metabolic rate
what is the calorgenic effect of food on exercise metabolism
the calorigenic effect of food on exercise metabolism nearly doubles the foods thermic effect at rest
DIT (diet induced thermogenesis) is greater for ___and __ then it is for ___
carbs and proteins then it is for lipids
for most individuals it seems reasonable to encourage moderate exercise after eating to possible augment a diet induced increase in

RMR of people in tropical climate averages about ___% (higher or lower?) then for those living in more temperate areas
5-20% higher
exercise performed in hot weather causes about ___% higher ___ consumption
5% oxygen consumption

sweat gland activity and altered circulatory dynamics
cold environments can ___ energy metabolism during rest and exercise
increase
magnitude of the cold effect depends largely on _____ content and effectiveness of the clothing ensemble
body fat
the added energy cost to weight bearing locomotion during pregnancy results primarily from
additional weight transported
reduced economy of effort from encumbrance of fetal tissue

one met equals resting oxygen consumption or _____mL.min for men and ___mL.min for women
250
200
exercise at 2 mets requires ___ the resting metabolism, exercise at 3 mets requires ___ the resting metabolism and so on
2 times
3times
to consider variations in body size one should express the MET
in terms of oxygen consumption per unit body bass
what does 1 met equal per unit body mass
3.5 mL.kg.min
how are physical activities classified by energy expenditures
intensity (it requires the same net number of calories to complete a marathon at various times)
duration (2 people of equal fitness run at the same speed but one runs twice as long as the other)
physical activity ratio is
classifies work by the ratio of energy needed for task to resting energy requirement
give examples of the physical activity ratio
light work= up to 3 times the resting requirement
heavy work = 6-8 times resting metabolism
maximal work = 9 tomes or more above rest
how many mets is required to:
sweep garden play with dog wash car play with kids move furnature
3.3 4 4 4.5 5 6
gross net vs net energy expenditure
net energy expenditure is the true energy expenditure of an activity
net energy expenditure = gross energy expenditure - resting energy expenditure
activities with considerable variations in pace such as tennis soccer or basketball require more frequent measures for accurate estimates of total energy expenditure
