Study Notes
Overview of Energy Systems
- ATP resynthesis: is crucial for sustained muscular function, as there is limited ATP stored in cells
- ATP hydrolysis: releases energy for muscle contraction from broken down ATP
- Creatine phosphate: is a primary energy system used for intense bursts of short-duration exercise
- provides one ATP molecule per creatine phosphate molecule
- depletion leads to fatigue
- involves the mitochondria during 'The Creatine Shuttle'
- Anaerobic glycolysis: is the primary energy system for exercise lasting 1-2 minutes
- produces two ATP molecules per glucose molecule
- results in lactate production which can lead to metabolic acidosis and muscle fatigue
- rate-limiting enzyme is phosphofructokinase (PFK)
- Oxidative phosphorylation: is the primary energy system for longer-duration exercise and provides the most energy
- requires oxygen to produce ATP molecules from glucose, fat, and protein
Muscle Glycogen Content
- Muscle glycogen stores: are influenced by diet and training status
- trained athletes have a greater capacity for glycogen storage
- higher carbohydrate intake leads to increased glycogen stores
- Pre-exercise dietary CHO intake: significantly impacts starting glycogen concentration
Carbohydrate Oxidation Rates
- Total energy expenditure (TEE): is influenced by exercise intensity and body mass
- Proportion of CHO in diet: affects carbohydrate oxidation rates
- acute CHO availability (fed vs fasted)
- habitual CHO intake (high vs low CHO diet)
- training status
- exercise intensity
- High carbohydrate availability: improves acute exercise performance
- Chronic high carbohydrate intake: leads to improved performance during hard training days
- Low carbohydrate availability: results in increased fat oxidation and a shift in fatmax to higher % VO2max
- RER (Respiratory Exchange Ratio): can be used to determine CHO oxidation rates
Ergogenic Aids
- Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA): regulates sport supplement products in Australia
- they are either classified as foods or medicines
- Ergogenic aids: can improve athletic performance
- commonly used for increasing energy production or enhancing work capacity
Athletes and Use of Banned Substances
- Performance-enhancing substances: are often used by athletes despite the risk of detection and sanctions
- ethical considerations and potential long-term health consequences are significant factors
Supplement Use by Athletes
- AIS Supplement Framework: guides supplement use by Australian athletes
- categorizes supplements into different groups based on their uses and purposes
- Disordered eating: is a serious issue affecting male and female athletes
- includes restrictive eating, yo-yo dieting, and compulsive exercise
- prevalence is much higher among athletes than in the general population
- Risk factors for eating disorders: can include genetics, family environment, personality, trauma, cultural influences, and athletics with weight requirements
- Health consequences of eating disorders: can be severe and include nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, and cardiovascular problems
