1
What is ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate)
The body's MAIN ENERGY SOURCE AND IS THE PRODUCTION OF ALL ENERGY PATHWAYS
2
What does Aerobic mean
With oxygen
3
What is Aerobic Metabolism
The production of ATP with Oxygen
4
What is the Mitochondria
The energy powerhouse of the cell (MAKES ATP) and the site of Aerobic Metabolism
5
What does Anaerobic mean
Without Oxygen
6
What is Anaerobic Metabolism
The production of ATP without oxygen
7
What is the Cytoplasm
The liquid portion of the cell and the site of anaerobic metabolism
8
What is Glycolysis
Breaking down of carbohydrates (glucose) to generate ATP
9
What is Oxidation
Relative to the breakdown of fat
10
What are the 4 Energy Pathways
Phosphagen System (ATP-PCr System)
Anaerobic Glycolysis
Aerobic Glycolysis
Aerobic Fatty Acid Oxidation
11
What is the fastest energy system
Phosphagen System
12
What is another word for Anaerobic Glycolysis
The Lactate System
13
How long does the Phoshagen System last
3-30 seconds
14
How long does Anaerobic Glycolysis last
1-3 minutes
15
How long does Aerobic Glycolysos last
3 minutes +
16
How long does Aerobic Fatty Acid Oxidation
3 minutes plus at a steady state (ex. running long distance)
17
How does the Phoshagen System work
The Anaerobic breakdown of phosphocreatine in the cytoplasm without oxygen
18
TRUE or FALSE: ATP is broken down into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and the PCr (phosphocreatine) gives the ADP the P (Phosphate) to form ATP
TRUE
19
How does phosphocreatine give you energy
It is readily present to quickly replenish ATP, BUT only for a very short period of time, 3-30 seconds
20
Where does the Anaerobic system occur
In the Cytosol/Cytoplasm
21
TRUE or FALSE: Availibility of phosphate creatine will determine how long the phosphagen will be the predominant energy system
TRUE
22
What is the Phospagen System able to power
It can power an all-out sprint for 3-30 seconds
23
What is the ration of PCr to ATP yield
1:1 ratio
24
What does glucose convert into in order to prepare for the Mitochondria
in converts into Pyruvate
25
Does Lactic Acid damage the muscle fibers
NO
26
If Oxygen is not availible what does Pyruvate attach to and what does it become
Pyruvate attaches to H+ and becomes Lactate
27
As Lactate is produced in the Cytoplasm, it is shipped out of the cell so that the cell is not intoxicated. Where does this occur?
It occurs via the Lactate Shuffle
28
Since Lactic Acid is NOT A SOURCE OF FATIGUE, what is and what does it act as?
Lactate and it acts as a buffer because it accepts the H+
29
What is the Limiting Factor for Anaerobic Glycolysis
Lactate
30
What Energy System synthesizes (generates) energy the fastest
The Phosphagen System
31
What yields the largest amount of energy
Fat Oxidation
32
What is the Primary source of ATP Production at rest and during low intensity activities
Aerobic Metabolism
33
What does Aerobic Metabolism consist of
The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain
34
TRUE or FALSE: If Oxygen IS present in sufficient quantities, pyruvate is transported to the Mitochondria and converted to Acetyl-CoA (Acetyl-Coenzyme A), which then enters the KREBS cycle for Further ATP Production
TRUE
35
What is the Limiting Factor for Aerobic Metabolis
Oxygen
36
TRUE or FALSE: The lower the intensity of an activity, the larger the proportion of energy that will come from fat
TRUE, BUT although the relative proportion may be larger, the absolute AMOUNT of fat is NOT necessarily greater
37
Aerobic Resistance Training aerobically with light weights and high reps will target what muscle fibers
It targets more Type 1 Muscle Fibers and results in less hypertrophy, strength, and power gains
38
When training Aerobic Resistance Training aerobically, what adaptation occurs
Mitochondrial and capillary density will increase, as will maximal oxygen capacity
39
Anaerobic Resistance Training will do what
It will increase size strength, and power of Type 2 Fibers
