25
Why is blood flow in trained muscle lower?
A-V difference is greater and therefore better oxygen extraction
26
What is the ability to perform prolonged, submaximal exercise dependent on?
ability to maintain homeostasis
27
What does the training-induced improvements in homeostatic pressure result in?
-more rapid transition from rest to stead state -a reduced reliance on limited liver and muscle glycogen stores -numerous cardiovascular and thermoregulatory adaptations that assist in maintaining homeostasis.
28
What are the adaptations of endurance exercise training in muscle fibres that assist in maintaining homeostasis?
-shift in muscle fibre type (fast-to-slow) and increase in number of capillaries -increased mitochondrial volume -training-induced training in fuel utilisation -increased antioxidant capacity -improved acid base regulation
29
What is the difference between slow myosin isoform and fast myosin isoform?
slow myosin isoform have lower myosin ATPase activity but better efficiency
30
What determines the magnitude of fibre type change?
duration and intensity of training and genetics
31
What does the increased number of capillaries surrounding muscle fibres impact?
-enhanced diffusion of oxygen -improved removal of wastes
32
What is mitochondrial turnover?
breakdown of damaged mitochondria and replaced with healthy mitochondria
33
What is the breakdown of damaged mitochondria termed?
mitophagy
34
What does the increase in mitochondrial volume result in?
-Greater capacity for oxidative phosphorylation -decreased ADP due to increased ADP transporters in mitochondrial membrane
35
What does the decrease in cystolic (ADP) result in?
-less lactate and H formation -less PC depletion
36
What is a result of high fat utilisation for energy production?
-spares plasma glucose and muscle glycogen
37
How does endurance training adaptations improve plasma FFA transport and oxidation?
- increased capillary density -fatty acid binding protein and fatty acid translocase -higher levels of carnitine palmitoyl transferase and FAT -increased enzymes of b-oxidation -increased rate of acetyl-CoA formation -High citrate level inhibits PFK and glycolysis

42
What happens if there is less carbohydrate utilisation?
less lactate formation
43
What does an increased NADH shuttles reduce?
the availability of NADH for lactic acid formation
44
What does endurance and resistance exercise training promote?

45
What does exercise 'stress' activate?
gene transcription
46
What is the process of exercise-induced muscle adaptations?
-muscle contraction activates primary and secondary messengers -results in expression of genes and synthesis of new proteins -mRNA levels typically in 4-8 hours, back to baseline within 24hrs -daily exercise require for training-induced adaptations

promotes glucose uptake and linked to gene expression by activation of transcriptional activating factors

synthesis of antioxidant enzymes
54
what does mTOR regulate?
protein synthesis and muscle size
55

fewer motor units required for submaximal work
57
What are the consequences of detraining?
-rapid decrease in VO2max -decrease in SVmax -decrease in maximal a-vO2 difference --decrease in mitochondria --decrease in oxidative capacity --decrease in type IIa fibres and increases Type IIx fibres
58
What is detraining primarily due to?
changes in mitochondria
59
