Metabolism during exercise Flashcards
What is Respiratory Quotient?
RQ = CO2 produced / O2 consumed
What is the RQ of carbs?
1
What is the RQ of fats?
0.7
Metabolism of fat consumed more oxygen than carbs
If an animal has an RQ of 0.75, what is its energy source?
Lipid
What are the vital energy needs
Physical, emotional, digestive
What will increase basal metabolism
Muscle mass, hyperthyroidism, fever
If a dog eats 1% above needed energy intake each year how many extra pounds is that in 12 years?
30 lbs
What has the highest energy requirement?
Resting metabolic rate
What has the second highest energy requirement?
Exercise
What has the lowest energy requirement?
Thermoregulation
Does untrained muscle require a higher or lower respiratory quotient?
Lower. More FA are used in trained individuals and more glucose in untrained
What is the immediate energy system
ATP, Creatine phosphate, Adenylate Kinase
How long can ATP sustain exercise?
3 seconds
How is ATP involved in muscle contraction?
ATP disconnects actin from myosin
Is lactate formed at all intensities?
Yes
