Q

Explain The a-vO2 diff—Arterial O2 Content?

A

Hemoglobin (Hb)—1 molecule of Hb carries 4 molecules of O2, and 100 ml of blood contains ~14-18 g of Hb in men and ~12-14 in women (1 g of Hb combines with 1.34 ml of oxygen).

There are ~20.1 ml of O2 per 100 ml of arterial blood (15 g of Hb  1.34 ml of O2/g of Hb) in men and ~17.4 ml of O2 per 100 ml of arterial blood (13 g x 1.34) in women.

Low iron leads to iron-deficiency anemia, reducing the body’s capacity to transport oxygen—this is more of a problem in women than men.

Q

How does endurance training increases the volume of both subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar mitochondria in muscle fibers?

A

Results in improved oxidative capacity and ability to utilize fat as fuel.

Training also increases mitochondrial turnover (that is, breakdown of damaged mitochondria and replacement with healthy mitochondria).

Breakdown of damaged mitochondrial is termed “mitophagy.”

Q

What is the Significance of Increased Mitochondrial Volume?

A

Increased mitochondrial volume results in greater capacity for oxidative phosphorylation.

However, during submaximal exercise, the steady-state VO2 is not influenced by endurance training.

Increased mitochondrial volume also decreases cytosolic [ADP] due to increased ADP transporters in mitochondrial membrane-results in:

Less lactate and H+ formation.

Less PC depletion.
