Study Notes
Exercise Physiology Lecture Summary
- Anaerobic glycolysis generates ATP by breaking down glucose after ATP-CP is depleted
- Aerobic metabolism through Krebs cycle and beta oxidation utilizes oxygen for lower intensity, longer duration exercise
- All energy systems operate simultaneously, with ATP-CP and glycolysis predominating in short bursts, and aerobic metabolism taking over during longer exercise
- Training enhances aerobic metabolism by increasing mitochondria density, capillary density, and aerobic enzymes to delay lactate accumulation
- Key topics in the lecture included energy systems, lactate threshold, muscle fiber types, oxygen consumption, and VO2 max testing
- Trained athletes delay lactate accumulation by increasing mitochondrial density and capillary density
- Differences between fast and slow twitch muscle fibers were discussed, with fast twitch fibers relying more on glycolysis and slow twitch fibers being more aerobic
- Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and the differences between plateau in VO2 versus peak VO2 were covered in depth
- The importance of reporting VO2 in absolute and relative terms was emphasized, with relative VO2 accounting for body size
- Risks of VO2 max testing were highlighted
- Homework consisting of short answer and long answer questions was to be assigned, likely between 12-1pm or 4-5pm, due Sunday night
- Techniques for measuring maximal oxygen consumption include open circuit spirometry and maximal graded exercise test, with submaximal exercise tests as alternative estimation methods
