Which of the following options best describes metabolism of substrates immediately after exercise lasting 7 seconds?
Which of the following options best describes metabolism of substrates immediately after exercise lasting 7 seconds?
- Glycogen is the primary substrate used in this early phase of exercise as glycogenolysis will liberate glucose for easy metabolism.
- A combination of fat oxidation and glucose metabolism (anaerobic glycolysis and minimal oxidation) occurs as ATP and PCr stores dissipate - glucose metabolism is the primary physiological process during this stage of exercise. (correct)
- Fat oxidation as oxidation of this substrate provides the most amount of energy
- ATP and Phosphocreatine are the sole substrates used during this early stage of exercise as they are readily available or only require a single reaction to liberate ATP (respectively).
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase is considered an important enzyme in skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise. Which of the following statements is true regarding the enzyme's activation?
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase is considered an important enzyme in skeletal muscle metabolism during exercise. Which of the following statements is true regarding the enzyme's activation?
- Changes in the ATP:ADP ratio results in activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase which activates pyruvate dehydrogenase
- Pyruvate dehydrogenase is activated directly by a reduction in calcium concentration as calcium is used up in cross-bridge cycling
- It is activated indirectly by calcium concentration increase during skeletal muscle contraction, which results in phosphorylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase.
- Pyruvate dehydrogenase is active in it's dephosphorylated form which occurs through activation of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Phosphatase. (correct)
Which of the following accurately describes fuel selection during exercise?
Which of the following accurately describes fuel selection during exercise?
- Glycogen is a primary fuel source during high intensity, longer duration exercise (correct)
- Anaerobic metabolism is unlikely to contribute to ATP production after the first 7 minutes of exercise
- Aerobic metabolism is the primary source of ATP during the first few seconds of exercise
- The body preferentially oxidises fat during high intensity exercise
