understanding exercise systems Flashcards
bioenergetics
various processes of energy/macronutrient use within the body and the function of energy systems for fuel provision during exercise
the quantity of force produced is a factor of _____- less time=____ force capabilities
time under tension
greater
the duration of time under tension is a factor of _____- longer time =____ force capabilities
force produced
lower
different energy sources are used as the duration of time under tension ____
increases
immediate energy (ATP and phosphates) ___sec
<15
intermediate energy (glycolytic)
____ sec
<90
continuous energy (aerobic) ____min
> 3
_____ occurs as these energy systems blend together in sequence over time
signaling overlap
only energy source to fuel the “power stroke” that drives muscle contraction
ATP
ATP located
inside muscle
ATP is ready to use for ____ needs during ________
immediate, maximal effort and powerful work
ATP fuels maximal muscular work lasting ____ sec
1-3 sec
ATP rest periods of ____ sec allow for full recovery
90
ATP is broken down by ____ to liberate a phosphate ion producing energy- ___ is a byproduct
ATPase, ADP
ATP reaction
ATP + H20 <–> ADP + Pi + energy
phosphates system
ATP depletes so rapidly so an additional pool go high-energy phosphate storage is maintained in the form of creatine phosphate
creatine phosphate
organic compound capable of storing and providing high energy phosphate elements to fuel muscular contractions
creatine phosphate refuses ATP store to continue
short, powerful bursts of work lasting around 10-15 sec
creatine phosphate recovery ranges from ___ mins depending on the activity and volume
2-5
creatine kinase reaction
CP + ADP <–> C + ATP
work lasting longer than 10-15 seconds requires the body to metabolize ____ and ____ anaerobically to maintain adequate ATP production
glucose, glycogen
glucose
simple sugar molecule that is the primary source of metabolized fuel for the glycolytic energy system
glycogen
storage form of carbohydrates (CHO) in the body metabolized to provide glucose
glycogen storage sites
skeletal muscle 300-400g and the liver 75-100g
glycolysis supports moderate-intensity work for ___ sec and contributes to the ____ system
90, aerobic
_____ and ____ are created as byproducts of glycolysis as well as the release of ____ ions
lactic acid, pyruvate, H+
the H+ eventually promotes ___ and the acidity shuts off the enzymes inhibiting contractions
ischemia
lactic acid
lactate; used by various tissues to fuel continuous work; serves as an initial buffer for H+ created by anaerobic glucose metabolism
pyruvate
end product of sugar metabolism during glycolysis in the presence of oxygen
pyruvate is broken down further to provide
ongoing aerobic energy through the Krebbs cycle
ischemia
low oxygen state caused by tissue acidity (via H+ or otherwise), obstruction of arterial blood supply, or inadequate blood flow to a region
primary culprit behind “burning” sensation and inability to work at the end of a glycolytic-driven exercise
H+
during intense work, ischemia occurs as excess hydrogen builds up, leading to a drop in pH that may:
1. limit ____ reactions
2. alter ____ handling
3. leading to ________
enzymatic
calcium
intrinsic muscle fatigue
____ has been blamed for DOMS
lactate
lactate actually helps maintain
energy levels during intense glycolytic work
lactate is used in immediate recovery in
metabolic organs and the heart
H causes ischemia when ____ is inadequate to support buffering
oxygen
lactate buffers ___ and is shuttled to various tissues via bloodstream to aid in ______
H+, gluconeogenesis
gluconeogenesis
creation of new glucose
DOMS
muscle soreness expedited by an inflammatory response due to cellular damage, ischemia and tonic spasms
when does DOMS occur
24-72 hours following an intense bout of exercise
