Q

Energy Systems contributions to 30s Wingate test

A

PCR = approx 28% of total ATP req.

Oxidative phosphorylation contributes around 16%.

If you extended the sprint beyond 30s, then the contribution from aerobic metabolism would further ⬆️.

Remaining 56 % of ATP demand for 30s all out sprint, is provided by anaerobic glycolysis.

== Glycolysis = primary source of ATP during this prolonged sprint activity.

22
Q

What are 2 of the membrane transporters responsible for moving H+ out of muscle fibre?

A

Monocarboxylate transporter / MCT

Sodium-hydrogen exchanger / NHE

  • Evidence suggests these are ⬆️ as a result of SET.
23
Q

When is there a -ive membrane potential of -70milivolts?

A

Resting membrane pot.

When muscle fibre hasn’t been stimulated to contract.

24
Q

Charge wise, what does it mean when there’s a -ive membrane potential of -70 millivolts?

A

LOWER charge inside muscle

25
Q

Describe ion distribution in resting conditions

A

IN fibre = High conc of K+

OUTSIDE fibre = High conc. of Na+

26
Q

What is the resting membrane potential caused by?

A

Imbalance in no. of ions inside + outside fibre

27
Q

What happens when a signal arrives at the muscle fibre from a neurone

A

Electrical current causes membrane Na+ channels to OPEN.

28
Q

What happens once Na+ channels are open?

A

Na+ move into muscle fibre, causing membrane pot. to ⬆️ to a +ive 30 milivolt charge == AP.

+ive charge triggers neighbouring Na+ channels to open, leading to sodium influx further along membrane. — How AP is able to propagate along the sarcolemma + down T tubules.

29
Q

What happens if membrane is stimulated when not at a -ive 70 millivolt charge

A

AP won’t occur as readily or won’t be as strong, potentially inhibiting the propagation + strength of AP.

— Inhibiting contraction force — a loss of muscle excitability.

30
Q

What is the 1st step to returning membrane pot to resting levels

A

Opening of K+ channels so that K+ can flow from inside to outside fibre.

31
Q

What happens when K+ flows from inside to outside muscle fibre?

A

Brings pot. down to -ive 100 millivolts, overshooting the -ive 70 millivolt target.

For this reason, a Na+/K+ ATPase pump is present in memb. — To move K+ back into fibre + Na+ out of fibre — restoring -ive 70 millivolt memb. pot.

32
Q

What happens when APs repeatedly arrive at muscle at a maximal rate?

A

Accumulation of K+ outside muscle fibre causes reduced muscle excitability

33
Q

What does SET do to for the Na+/K+ ATPase pumps?

A

⬆️ the no. of them

34
Q

What does SET do in relation to adapt of mitochondria?

A

⬆️ mit. mass

35
Q

What does SET do in relation to adapt of enzymes?

A

⬆️ no. + activity of important enzymes in Krebs cycle + ETC. These incl:

  • Citrate synthase, 1st enzyme of Krebs cycle.
  • Cytochrome C oxidase, important enzyme in ETC.
36
Q

What is perf. during repeated sprint bouts partly dependent on?

A

Ind. ability to replenish their PCr stores before next sprint.

37
Q

What does replenishing PCr require?

A

ATP (mostly provided by aerobic system)

38
Q

How much lactate is shuttled to type 1 muscle fibres?

What happens there?

Where does the rest of the lactate go?

A

Around 75-80%

Oxidised by mit. to form glucose.

Other portion of lactate is shuttled out of muscle via bloodstream to heart + liver where its converted to glucose.

– Then released back into bloodstream + taken up by muscle.

39
Q

Lactate shuttle hypothesis

A

Means by which lactate can act as a substrate for ATP prod. by refuelling muscle w/ glucose that can enter glycolysis.

40
Q

What are the ways in which SET improves the lactate recycling process

A

⬆️ abundance of mit. = ⬆️ the oxidation of lactate w/in muscle itself.

⬆️ movement of lactate out of muscle due to larger no. of cap. available.

41
Q

Give a summary of physiological adapt. to SET

A

⬆️ in muscle glycogen

⬆️ glycolytic enzymes

⬆️ buffering capacity + H+ transporters

⬆️ Na+ K+ ATPase

⬆️ in muscle capillerization + oxidative capacity

⬆️ type 2a muscle fibres
