Energy Transfer During Exercise The Energy Systems
Energy Sources • From Food: • CHO = 4 kcal • Fat = 9 kcal • Pro = 4 kcal • For Exercise: • ATP > ADP + P
Methods of Supplying ATP For Energy • Stored ATP • CP or ATP-CP • Anaerobic metabolism/glycolysis/lactic acid system • Aerobic metabolism
ATP-PC System • Intramuscular phosphagens • Short anaerobic • Uses stored ATP • Strength/power movements • Replenishes
Lactic Acid System • Glycolytic • Long anaerobic • Burns glucose • Accumulates lactate at high intensities • Muscular endurance activities
Blood Lactate Threshold • Exercise intensity at the point of lactate buildup. • Predicts aerobic exercise performance. • Untrained ~ 55% of VO2 max. • Trained ~ 75% of VO2 max.
Aerobic System • Oxidative • Burns fatty acids • Long-term energy • Better butter burner • Cardiorespiratory endurance activities
The Energy-Time Continuum • As the work time increases, the percentage of energy contributed by the aerobic system increases.
Oxygen Uptake During Aerobic Exercise • Increases sharply at onset • Levels off within a few minutes if pace is constant (steady state) • Oxygen demand met by supply
Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) • The region where oxygen uptake plateaus and does not increase despite an additional increase in exercise intensity.
Maximal Oxygen Uptake • Affected by body size: larger size means larger VO2max. • Absolute oxygen uptake (ml.min.) • Relative oxygen uptake (ml.kg.min.) • Relative to body mass
Oxygen Deficit • Difference between oxygen consumed during exercise and amount that would have been consumed had a steady rate, aerobic metabolism occurred at onset of exercise.
Oxygen Deficit:Trained vs. Untrained • Trained reach steady rate quicker • Higher total oxygen consumption • Less reliance on anaerobic glycolysis • Lower deficit in trained individuals due to: • Earlier aerobic ATP production • Less lactate formation
Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) • Formerly called oxygen debt • Excess oxygen above the resting level in recovery • Most lactate does not synthesize into glycogen as originally thought • Heart, liver, kidneys, and skeletal muscle use lactate as energy substrate during recovery
Active Recovery for Heavy Exercise • Facilitates lactate removal because of: • increased perfusion of blood through the liver and heart • increased blood flow in muscles because muscle tissue oxidizes lactate during Krebs Cycle
