post midterm 2 Flashcards
how many days can a 65kg person could endure forced starvation (resting/minimal activity)?
10-12 days with minimal activity
40-50 resting
where is the energy in the body derived from and what is the end result
the energy in the human body is derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
the end result of this breakdown is production of ATP
all the chemical reactions in the body require? the sum of these reactions is
they all require free energy and the sum is called metabolism
3 metabolic pathways to supply ATP to the muscle
Anaerobic (without oxygen)
1) alactic system (phosphocreatine)
2) lactic system
aerobic (with oxygen)
-3)oxygen system
phosphocreatine system, location, duration/ recovery, byproducts,
located in sacroplasm
simplest, fastest, high energy in short time
PC+ ADP—-> ATP+ creatine
free energy for muscle contraction (75% of energy as heat)
provides rapid supply of ATP as PC stored in the muscle
limited stores, but quick recovery (3 min)
lasts less than 10–12 seconds
no byproducts
Lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis) location, primary energy source, by products, duration/ recovery
located in sacroplasm
anaerobic breakdown of glucose
called anaerboic glycolysis
occurs in the sacrooplasm of muscle cell
does not require oxygen
pyruvate converted into lactic acid
provides energy as long as stores remain (20 sec to 3 min)
recovery 2 hours
glycolysis (anaerobic), energy yield,
a biochemical process that releases energy in the form of ATP from glycogen and glucose
lysis- breakdown of glyco
anaerobic process
the products of glycolysis (2 molecules of ATP, 2 molecules of pyruvate)
what is the primary source of substrates
carbs
oxygen system, location, primary energy source, byproducts
occurs in the mitochondria of muscle cell
about 300 per cell
primary energy source: glucose/glycogen (plus fats)
energy yield: 36 ATP
no lactic acid
18x more ATP per unit of glucose as anaerobic metabolism (was 2 ATP)
glycolysis (aerobic system)
in the presence of O2 no lactic acid produced
pyruvic acid enters the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain
without the presence of O2 lactic acid goes into the Cori cycle
cori cycle
lactic acid is taken to the liver to be metabolized back into pyruvic acid and then glucose
krebs cycle and cori cycle
biochemical processes used to resyntheisze ATP by combining ADP and P in the presence of oxygen
takes place in the mitochondrian
energy yield:
1 molecule of glucose is 36 ATP
1 molecule fat is up to 460 ATP
aerobic oxidative system
most important energy system in the body
blood lactate levels remain low
primary source of energy for exercise that is lasting longer than 10 min
substrates for the aerobic system/ utilization
carbohydrates (glucose.glycogen) and fats (triglycerides and fatty acids)
at rest: CHO and fats 50:50 for energy
max short duration exercise: nearly all CHO
mild to intense exercise: more cho than fat
prolonged, less intense exercise: more fat
interval training vs sprint training
interval training
20% increase in CP (creatine phosphate)
no change in ATP stores
increase in ATPase function
increase in enzyme function
sprint training
increaser in CP stores up to 40%
100% increase in resting ATP stores
how does training effect energy systems
increases in aerobic capacity due to primarily to: strength increases
greater tolerance to increased acidity
effect of training on anaerobic glycolytic system
lactic acid accumulation is a limiting factor in performance
rate of accumulation can be decreased by reducing the rate of lactate production, increasing the rate of lactate elimination
anaerobic threshold
the exercise intensity at which lactic acid begins to accumulate within the blood
the point during exercise where the person feels discomfort and burning sensations in their muscles
higher in trained individuals
aerobic power or VO2 max
evaluated by maximal volume of oxygen that can be consumed per kilogram of mass in a given time
factors that contribute to a high aerobic power
arterial oxygen content: depends on adequate ventilation and the O2 carrying capacity of the blood
cardiac output: Q= HR X Stroke volume
increased by elevation of the work of heart and increased peripheral blood flow
tissue oxygen extraction (a-VO2 difference): depends upon the rate of O2 diffusion from capillaries and the rate of O2 utilization
training the aerobic system
endurance training increases the max aerobic power of a invidual by 15-25% regardless of age
genetics play a role in adaptation
older people adapt slower
max aerobic power (Max VO2) peaks at 18-25
how does training affect “energy systems”
increases in aerobic capacity due to:
oxidative enzyme increase
increase glycogen stores
oxygen delivery capacity increased
increased triglyceride storage (fat) in muslce cells and increase in use of fat
cardio system
m
the primary roles of the cardiovascular system
1) to trasport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues
2) to transport Co2 from the tissues to the lungs
3) to trasnsport nutrients from the digestive system to other areas in the body
4) to trasnport waste products from the sites of production to sites of excretion
overview cardiovascular system (structures)
Heart
structure: chambers, heart tissue blood supply
function: neural drive, hemodynamics
vessels
structure: arteries, veins, capillaries
function: vasodilation, vasoconstriction
blood
the heart (structure)
heart is comprised of cardiac muscle (and vessels of smooth muscle) that pumps blood through the human body
consists of 4 chambers
atria: (right atrium and left atrium) –> receives blood from peripheral organs and pumps blood into the verntricles
ventricles (left and right)–> pump blood through the body
right ventricle: pumps blood to the lungs
left ventricle: pumps blood through the entire body (are larger with stronger walls than RV)
Right atrium/right ventricle
receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava
the blood moves from the right atrium to the right ventricle and pumps it into the lungs
right ventricle pumps blood a short distance to the lungs
blood travels to the lungs via pulmonary arteries
how does the blood enter the left atrium?
pulmonary veins
left atrium/ left ventricle
the left atrium receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle
the blood is now oxygen rich and is transported to the entire body via aorta
chambers, diastole/ systole
blood flows throughout the chambers in both the right and left sides simultaneously
diastole: ventricles relaxing and filling with blood
systole: ventricles contracting, push blood through
rules of arteries and veins
arteries carry oxygenated blood, except the pulmonary artery
all arteries carry blood away from the heart
veins carry deoxygenated blood, except the pulmonary vein
all veins carry blood back to the heart
circulatory system neural drive
neural control over the heart is also through involuntary (autonomic) nervous system which is reponsive to:
emotional changes
co2 and o2 blood levels
proprioceptive changes
what causes the heart to speed up or slow down
depends on the need for blood and oxygen in the body
what causes the beating of the heart?
by the sinus node (sino atrial node)
the sinus node is a small bundle of nerve fibres that are found in the wall of the right atrium
the sinus node generates a action potential. which causes the muscle walls of the heart to contract
the atria contract before the ventricles, allowing the blood to be quickly pumped into the ventricles from the atria
hemodynamics
heart rate= beats per minute
avg 60-80 bpm
tachycardia/bradycardia
tachycardia: persistent resting rate >100
bradycardia: persistent resting rate <60
cardiac output
bpm x storke volume
stroke volume 60-80 ml beat
bpm 60-80
Max hr
highest heart rate achieved with all out effort
decreases about 1 beat/yr after 15 yr
in adults estimated max hr= 220- age
vessels (the peripheral circulatory system)
comprised of the arteries that carry blood away from the heart to the muscles and organs
and the veins that return blood to the heart
all the vessels are made up smooth muscle cells that allow them to contract or relax
regulate blood flow
arterial system
arteries branch into arterioles and then branch into capillaries
arteries—>arterioles—> capillaries
caplillaries
allow for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients from the blood to muscles and organs
allow blood to pick up the waste products and carbon dioxide from metabolism
valves
veins have valves
blood flow towards the heart open the valves
blood flow away from the heart closes the valves
redistribution of blood
at rest: 50% of blood to the liver and kidney, 15% of blood to muscles
heavy endurance training:
80% blood to the muscle
blood pressure, avg systolic/diastolic
blood pressure is when pressure is exerted on the vessels during systole/ dystole
systolic pressure avg 120 mmHg
diastolic pressure avg 80mmHg
blood qualities
plasma- approx 55% of blood
comprised mainly of water (90%)
formed elements- approx 45%
comprised mainly (99%) of red blood cells (erthyocytes)
the heart and exericse
exercise= increases heart rate via proprioreceptors. signal to heart centre in medulla, which signals heart to increase rhythm
muscular actvity increases venous return, which increase ventricular preload
affects of sustained exercise
creates a more efficient heart: somewhat increased the size of cavities and thickness of walls= cardiac hypertrophy
increased stroke volume
allows heart to beat more slowly at rest
pathway of blood in heart
inferior vena cava, superior vena cava—> right atrium—> r. atrioventircular valve—> right ventricle—-> pulmonary semilunar valve—pulmonary arteries— lungs—> left atrium–> l atrioventicular valve—> left ventricle—> aortic semilunar valve—> aorta—> artieries —-> capillaries—> veins
respiratory system
d
nigga wut
respiratory system roles
the primary role is to:
1) deliver oxygenated air to blood
2) remove carbon dioxide from the blood, a by-product of metabolism
the respiratory sytem includes:
the lungs
several passageways leading from outside to the lungs
muscles that move into and out of the lungs
overview of the respiratory system
air enters through the nose or mouth, where it is filtered, humidified, and adjusted to body temperature in the trachea(windpipe)
the trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which branch into bronchioles and then the respiratory broncioles
the right lungs is larger than the left
alveoli
the functional units of the lungs are the tiny air sacs, called alveoli
clustered in bunches like grapes, with a common opening into an alveolar duct called an alevolar sac
components of the respiratory system
diaphgram/ ribs
pharynx/tranchea
bronchioles/lungs
diphragm/rib function
diaphragm contracts and moves down
this causes increase in volume of chest cavity
this causes decrease in pressure
external intercostal muscles contract:
this causes ribs to elevate
this causes increase in vilume of chest cavitry
this causes decrease in pressure
air is sucked into lungs
pharynx/trachea function
air enters the nasal cavity
passes then to the pharynx
then passes the epiglottis and enters the glottis
before passsing the trachea on the way to the lungs
first branches in lungs are r and l bronchi, then the bronchioles then the alveoli
bronchioles/lungs- function
bronchi(primary/secondary/tertiary/terminal)
23+ branching bronchioles
alevolar sacs with surrounding capillary plexus (blood in alveoli for 0.75 sec)
pressure gradient= gas exchange
lung volume and capacity changes little with training.
contraction-circulation-respiration
muscle contractions need oxygen to continue beyond the anaerobic stage
99% of O2 that is transported in blood is chemically bonded with hemoglobin in the red blood cells
respiratory and response
receptors in aorta and in cartoid arteries are sensitive to partial presusures of O2 and Co2 and ph
these receptors send signal to brain medulla which sends to diaphragm and intercostal muscles
cardiovascular response
same as respiratory respone but the signals from the brain go to the heart
proprioceptive signals reach cardiac centre in medulla to increase heart rate
what by products does muscle contractions create that must be eliminated?
anaerobic produces lactic acid
aerobic needs O2 gives off CO2 and H2O
cardiorespiratory
d
cardiorespiratory (aerobic) fitness
ability to supply and use oxygen
over an extended period of time
in sufficient amounts
to perform normal and unusual activities
lack of aerobic fitness (effects)
negative effects include:
hypokinetic diseases
e.g. hypertenison, heart disease, chronic low back pain, obesity
effects of training (1)
increased stroke volume of heart
larger (hypertrophy) and more efficient heart
decreased heart rate at any given load
decreased recovery time
decreased blood pressure
decreased resting heart rate
effects of training (2)
increased O2 carrying ability capacity of blood
increased capillaries in muscles
increased O2 extraction in muscle
increased mitochondria in muscle
increased aerobic enzymes
increased storage- glycgoen, triglycerides in muslces and in liver
earlier and more efficient use of fats for fuel
how much aerobic activity do you need?
a minimum of 150 minutes MVPA weekly (spread over most days of week)
what is MVPA? Why over most days?
Moderate-vigrous physical activity, unable to speak fluent heavy breathing
time for recovery
FITT presciption
frequency: 5 days per week
intensity > your target HR or moderate to vigrous intensity
Time: 30 min. continuous exercise
Type: large muscle groups, rhythmic and continuous
Target heart rate/ predicting max Hr
= max heart rate x intensity
max heart rate via prediction
= 220- age
Karvonen equation
Target heart rate=
HRR x intensity + resting heart rate
= (MHR - RHR) x intensity + RHR
HRR= heart rate reserve
RHR= resting hR= pulse for 1 min
intesnity of exercise (50%, 80%)
developing cardiovascular fitness
developing CV fitness 8-12 weeks
first 2-3- preconditioning period - progress slowly and enjoy each workout helps reduce soreness
progressive resistance exercise (PRE)
gradually overloading bodys systems will develop additonal capacity
general public guidelines (resistance training)
-allow time for recovery (18-24 hours for aerobic)
-use it or lose it conduct next workout within 24-48 hours
- never train extremely hard on consecutive days
training extra hard no more than 3 days per week
use maintainece approach when reaching desire level of fitness
warm up and cool down
monitor your progress carefully
