Q

Does untrained muscle require a higher or lower respiratory quotient?

Q

Does trained or untrained muscle have a slower increase in lactate?

A

Trained

17
Q

A rest, what is lactate oxidation? During exercise?

A

50%, 75%

18
Q

What tissues can utilize lactate?

A

Heart, Skeletal, Muscle, Brain

19
Q

How many Lactate DH isoforms are there?

A

5.

Different organelles within the same cell can have different isoenzymes

20
Q

Why does glycogen produce 3 ATP and glucose only 2?

A

Glycogen enters as G6P and does not need hexokinase

21
Q

How many ATP are produced from a glycogen molecule in a Type IIb tissue?

A

31

22
Q

What energy type is used during moderate exercise?

A

Carbs more than fat

50-75% VO2max

23
Q

Theory behind glycogen loading?

A

Deplete glycogen stores then overcompensate which leads to increased performance

24
Q

What is hitting the wall?

A

When muscle glycogen runs out of OAA, fatty acids must be used as fuel. FAs are metabolized at half the rate of glycogen so marathoners slow down drastically

25
Q

What is the final kick?

A

High levels of Acetyl CoA (B-ox) can downregulate PDH which spares some glyocgen. If there is enough left, can be used at the end of a race

26
Q

How long can aerobic (B-ox)energy last?

A

As long as supplies last

27
Q

What energy system would be used for low intensity / long duration exercise?

A

Aerobic

28
Q

Physiologic benefits of training

A

Increased O2 uptake by muscles
Increased blood vessel size
Increase in mitochondria # and size
Increased glycgen storage

29
Q

What organ adds arythrocytes during exercise?

A

Spleen

30
Q

Where is creatine produced?

A

Liver and kidney

Used in the muscle
