Midterm 2 Flashcards
Def: lactate threshold
the exercise intensity at which there is an abrupt increase in blood lactate concetration
What does lactate threshold reflect
The ability to sustain oxidative metabolism
Factors effecting muscle lactate
- oxygen availability
- enzyme activity
- muscle fiber type
- muscle lactate transporters
- Sympathetic Nervous System activity
Effect of exercise intensity of fuel selection
- As intensity increases CHO use increase and fat use decreases
- Shift is seen due to changes in amount of muscle fuels being used
-Absolute fat use remains steady as intensity increase and CHO increases to provide additional energy
How may relative fuel use differ after a keto state
-RER will decrease due to less CHO reliance and greater fat reliance
-intensity may be limited in this senario
How is rate of energy use determined
Take VO2 in L/min and multiply by 5 kcal/Lo2 to get kcal/min
What intensity exercise is best for weight loss
-25% burns the highest percentage of fat
- 50% burns highest total fat
- 75% burns most calories total but less fat calories
What factors may cause variation in relative fuel usage
- pre-exercise diet
- gender
- training status
Effect of exercise duration on fuel selection
-slight decrease in CHO compared to fat
-shift from muscle sources to blood and plasma sources
How do researchers determine specific fuel use?
- Measure overall rate of energy use (VO2)
- Determine %CHO and %fat use (RER)
- measure muscle glycogen utilization (Biopsy)
- Measure muscle uptake of FFA (A-V catheters
Def: Neuroendocrinology
The combined activity of tissues which regulate hormone release and control bodily function
Def: Hormone
Chemical substance secreted into body fluids, with specific effects on local or distant target tissues
Sources of hormones
- Endocrine glands
- nerve fibers
- other tissues
Types of hormones
PEPTIDE
- derived from protien
- soluble
- fast acting
STEROID
- derived from lipid (Cholesterol)
- insoluble
-slower acting
Main functions of hormones related to exercise
- alter enzyme activity (P)
- alter membrane transport (P)
- alter protein synthesis rate (S)
List the key hormones involved in exercise metabolism
Insulin
Glucagon
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Insulin
-Released from pancreas beta cells
- increase in glucose, FFA, AA uptake
- increase glycogen, TG and protein synthesis
- decrease in lipolysis
Glucagon
- Released for the pancreas alpha cells
- increase in liver glycogenolysis
- increase in gluconeogenesis
Epinephrine in metabolism
- Released from adrenal medulla
- increase in muscle glycogenolysis
- increase in lipolysis in muscle and adipose tissue
Norepinephrine in metabolism
-released from SNS fibers and adrenal medulla
- increase in lipolysis (adipose)
-increase in cardiorespiratory function
Effect of exercise on metabolic hormone concentration
-increase in glucagon and norepinephrine at same rate
-slower increase in epinephrine
-decrease in insulin
What determines insulin seen by muscle
- blood concentration
- muscle blood flow
How do we maintain blood glucose concentration during exercise?
- Minimize glucose use by less active tissues
-decreased insulin and decreased blood flow - Mobilize alternative fuels to glucose
- increased norepinephrine increases lipolysis - Stimulate muscle glycogen use
- increase epinephrine - release glucose from liver sources
- increase glucagon
Metabolic adaptations to training
MITOCHONDRIA
-increase number and size
-increase oxidative enzymes
FUEL STORAGE
-INCREASE GLYCOGEN STORE IN MUSCLE
-INCREASE LIPID STORE IN MUSCLE
FUEL USE
-decreased CHO use
-decreased lactate production
How is CHO use effected after training
- decrease in CHO catabolism and increase in lipid catabolism - deceased RER
- increase in aerobic use of CHO that is catabolized - increased lactate threshold
Changes to RER with training and why
CHANGES
- decreased RER @ given workload
- increased workload @ given RER
WHY
- decreased workload per mito
-increased lipid delivery to mito
-increased enzymes for lipid oxidation
-decreased stimulation of CHO use (epi)
Changes to LT with training and why
CHANGES
- decrease [La] @ given workload
-increased workload @ given [La]
WHY
- increased mito
-increased [La] clearance
-increased pyruvate oxidation
-decreased pyruvate production
Effects of training on peak sustainable workload
increase max aerobic power to greater extent with lower O2 uptake to begin with
Key components of CV system
- heart (pump)
- vasculature (tubing)
-blood (fluid medium)
Three major CV adjustments to acute exercise
- Cardiac output increased
- Q redistributed throughout the body
- Tissues adjust rate of O2 removal from body
Atrioventricular valves
regulate flow within heart
