Sports Physiology Flashcards
Slow Twitch Muscle Fiber
Type 1
Where does Estrogen increases the deposition of Fat to?
Breast, Hips and Subcutaneous Tissue
At time of exhaustion, how many percent of energy is derived from fats rather than carbs
60-85%
What Energy system is used for 1500 meter skating
Glycogen Lactic Acid System and Aerobic Systems
Lactic acid oxygen amounts to
about 8 liters
This energy system uses the oxidation of foodstuffs in the Mitochondria to provide energy
Aerobic Sytem
This energy system is used by the muscle for prolonged athletic activity
Aerobic System
It has a powerful anabolic effect in causing greatly increased deposition of protein in the body especially in the muscles
Testosterone
Muscle Power is measured in
Kilogram meters (Kg-m) per minute
Power is determined by
Strength of Muscle Contraction, Distance of Contraction and Number of times it contracts each minute
The Strength of the muscle in determined by its
Size, with a maximal contractile force between 3 and 4 kg/cm
What is the source of energy actually used to cause muscle contraction?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
What are the Muscle Metabolic Systems in Exercise
Phosphocreatine-creatine system
Glycogen-Lactic System
Aerobic System
What Energy system is used for 100 meter dash
Phosphagen Entirely
Changes that occur inside Hypertrophied muscle fibers
Increase number of myofibrils
120% increase in mitochondrial enzymes
60-80% increase in components of phosphagen metabolic sytem
50% increase in glycogen
75-100% increase in triglyceride
Endurance is enhanced by
a high carbohydrate diet
Normal O2 consumption for untrained average male
3600ml/min
Normal O2 consumption for young man at rest
250ml/min
How many calories are released after the the removal of the 1st phosphate in the phosphate bond
7300 Calories
The Power of the muscle is determined by
Distance of Contraction and the number of times that it contracts each minute
Normal O2 consumption for Male Marathon Runner
5100ml/min
This energy system is used by the muscle for power surges
Phosphagen System
Special characteristic of energy transfer from phosphocreatine to ATP
Occurs within a small fraction of a second making all the energy stored in the muscle Phosphocreatine is almost instantaneously available for muscle contraction
Removal of lactic acid is achieved in two ways
A small portion of it is converted back into pyruvic acid and then metabolized oxidatively by the body tissues
Remaining lactic acid is reconverted into glucose mainly in the liver
