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
