Unit 3 AOS 2 SAC 1a Flashcards
Oxygen uptake (VO2) Denfition
volume of O2 able to be taken up, transported and used by the body for energyproduction
Maximum Oxygen Uptake (VO2 max)
The maximum volume of O2 able to be taken up by, transported to and used by the body for energy production
Oxygen deficit
Oxygen demand exceeds oxygen supply
Steady state
oxygen supply equals oxygen demand
energy contribution from aerobic systems
why does steady state occur?
metabolic by-products are being broken down that same rate they are being made therefore they do not accumulate
what does EPOC stand for?
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption
EPOC definition
the period after exercise stops when heart rate remains above resting levels
Why does EPOC occur?
Oxygen consumption does not immediately return to resting levels
What physiological changes occur during the rapid portion of EPOC?
- ATP resynthesis
- CP resynthesis
- restoring of oxygen levels
on myoglobin (the
proteins in the muscle)
When is the rapid portion of EPOC?
imediately after exercise
0 to 3 - 5 minutes
When is the slow portion of EPOC?
following rapid portion to resting levels (30 mins+)
What is the purpose of EPOC?
To return the body to pre-exercise conditions
What are physiological processes that occur during EPOC?
Any changes that occur listed in the slow portion or rapid portion of EPOC
What physiological changes occur in the slow portion of EPOC?
- oxidation of hydrogen
ions (H+ ion) - return to core body
temerpature - restore heart rate and
ventilation rate to pre-
exerise levels
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
What is the role of ATP?
To power all of the cells metabolic activities
(in the case of muscle cells it allows them to contract)
What is ATP resynthesis?
- it starts off with ATP where adenosine is bonded with three phospahte molecules
- one phosphate breaks away (breaking the chemical bond) creating energy
- now whats left is adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi)
what can the process of ATP resynthesis look like?
ATP ←→ ADP + Pi + energy
How much ATP does the body store?
Just enough to power 1-2 seconds of maximal exercise
What is creatine phosphate? And what happens when bonds break?
chemical compound that is stored minimally in the body
when the bond breakes between creatine and phosphate, energy is released that allows ATP to be resynthesised from ADP and Pi
Where is Creatine phosphate stored?
In the muscles
examples of events that would need the chemical fuel creatine phophate
- 100m sprint
- 50m swim
- a shotput throw
Carbohydrates
(example, converted to (the the blood), stored as, stored where)and where does excess carbs go
- potatoes, white bread, pasta
- glucose
- glycogen
- muscles and liver
+++excess carbs can be stores as fat within adipose tissue around the body+++
Carbohydrates as an energy source
- can provide the energy to resynthesis ATP under anaerobic and aerobic conditions (for high intensity, short duration events or for submaximal, longer duration events)
Fats
(example, converted to (in blood), stored as, stored where)
- avacado
- free fatty acids
- tryglycerides
- in adapose tissue around the body
events that you would use fat food fuel
ultra marathon
Fats as an energy source
- primarily used at rest and submaximal exercises
- as intensity increases, fat use decreases as fats are more difficult to break down and therefore their rate of energy release is to slow during high intensities
protein
(example, converted to (in blood), stored as, stored where)
- meat, fish, chicken
- amino acids
- amino acids
- various sites around the body
