    Study Notes

    Torque and Levers

    • Eccentric movements produce greater torque than concentric movements in both flexors and extensors.
    • First-class levers operate at a mechanical disadvantage (e.g., triceps extension).
    • Third-class levers also operate at a mechanical disadvantage (e.g., bicep curl).
    • Second-class levers operate at a mechanical advantage (e.g., toe raise).
    • Free weights engage stabilizing muscles; machines target specific muscles without requiring stabilization, allowing for more effort.
    • Positive work is when muscles apply force (e.g., lifting a weight).
    • Negative work is when external force acts on a muscle (e.g., lowering a weight).
    • Frontal plane movements include abduction and adduction.
    • Sagittal plane movements include flexion and extension.

    Energy Systems and Glycolysis

    • PCr is a one-step process.
    • Glycolysis is a ten-step process producing 6 ATP.
    • Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis, either converting to lactate (anaerobic) or entering the Krebs cycle (aerobic).
    • The Cori cycle transports lactate from muscles to the liver, where it's converted to glucose.

    Anaerobic Threshold

    • Point where lactic acid accumulates faster than it can be cleared, leading to fatigue.
    • Training goal is to push lactate threshold to the right (harder, longer effort).

    Oxidative Phosphorylation

    • Pyruvate, fatty acids, and amino acids contribute to acetyl-CoA for entry into the Krebs cycle.
    • Slowest energy system but produces the most ATP.
    • Fat stores provide nearly unlimited energy for ATP production even in lean individuals.

    Hormones and Adaptations

    • Testosterone is stimulated by large muscle group exercises (e.g., deadlifts, power cleans).
    • Training involves heavy resistance, moderate-to-high volume, short rest intervals (30-60 seconds).
    • Growth hormone is stimulated alongside testosterone.
    • Increased joint elasticity during the menstrual cycle raises injury risk in women.
    • Training for older adults (especially cardiac rehab) involves 10-15 reps per set.

    Muscle Contraction

    • Z Lines shorten during muscle contraction.
    • The H Zone decreases and may disappear during contraction.
    • A Band and I Bands remain unchanged during contraction.

    All-or-None Principle

    • Motor units either fire completely or not at all, impacting muscle contraction strength.

    Muscle Actions

    • Eccentric: Muscle lengthening under tension (e.g., lowering a weight).
    • Concentric: Muscle shortening under tension (e.g., lifting a weight).
    • Isometric: Muscle contractions without changing length (e.g., holding a plank).

    Muscle Size and Neural Activation

    • Larger muscles generally require more neural activation to efficiently recruit motor units.
    • Larger muscles typically have greater cross-sectional area, allowing for more activated muscle fibers.

    Torque and Joint Velocity

    • The relationship between torque and joint velocity affects movement efficiency during both concentric and eccentric actions.
    • Eccentric contractions generate force while lengthening muscles (e.g., lowering a weight).

    Sarcomere Components

    • A-band: Contains thick myosin filaments. Its length remains constant during contraction.
    • I-band: Contains thin actin filaments. Its length shortens during contraction.
    • H-zone: Contains thick myosin filaments and no overlapping thin filaments; its length shortens during contraction.
    • Z-line: Separates adjacent sarcomeres; its length shortens during contraction.

    Aerobic and Anaerobic Adaptions

    • Resistance training decreases mitochondrial density but never to zero.
    • Aerobic training increases mitochondrial density, capillarization, and oxygen transport.
    • Detraining decreases mitochondrial density and aerobic capacity.

    Blood Flow and Heart Pathway

    • Deoxygenated blood enters the heart via superior and inferior vena cavae passing through the right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, and pulmonary arteries to the lungs.
    • Oxygenated blood returns from lungs to the left atrium, bicuspid valve, left ventricle, and aorta to the rest of the body.

    ECG Basics

    • P wave: Atrial depolarization.
    • QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization (with simultaneous atrial repolarization).
    • T wave: Ventricular repolarization.
    • RR interval: Measures single cardiac cycle time.

    Basic Anatomy and Function

    • HIIT variables include intensity, duration, and recovery to indicate how the body responds metabolically.
    • Intensity refers to how hard an exercise is performed (often measured as a percentage of maximum heart rate or perceived exertion).
    • Duration is the time spent in each interval and the overall workout duration.
    • Effect on metabolism can involve increased demand for oxygen and energy substrates leading to greater calorie burn during and after the workout (EPOC).
    • Metabolism: This can enhance both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.
    • Planes of movement include transverse, sagittal, and frontal planes.
    • Transverse plane involves rotation (e.g., twisting movements).
    • Sagittal plane involves flexion and extension (e.g., bicep curls, squats, lunges).
    • Frontal plane involves abduction and adduction (e.g., lateral raises, lateral lunges).
    • Gas exchange occurs in lungs alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.

    Youth Strength Gains

    • Primarily due to improved motor unit recruitment rather than increased muscle size.

    Adolescent Hydration Needs

    • Recommendations for water intake during exercise to prevent dehydration.

    Female Athlete Bone Health

    • Optimal carbohydrate-to-protein ratios (typically 3:1 to 4:1) for recovery.

    Carbohydrate Intake Guidelines

    • Recommendations for athletes including sports drink carbohydrate concentrations.
    • Aerobic endurance training (90+ minutes) requires 8-10g of carbohydrate per kg body weight daily; strength, sprint, and athletic activities require 5-6g per kg body weight daily.

    Protein Requirements

    • Protein requirements vary by athlete type. Vegans may need more protein due to lower quality plant proteins.
    • Aerobic athletes require 1.5-1.6g per kg body weight; Strength athletes require 1.4-1.7g per kg body weight.

    Creatine Supplementation

    • Loading (20g/day for 5-7 days) followed by maintenance doses (3-5g/day).
    • Ergogenic benefits for high-intensity exercise.

    Vitamins and Minerals

    • Vitamins and minerals include A for vision and immune function; D for bone health and immune function; E for antioxidant properties; K for blood clotting; B vitamins for cell growth and development.

    Creatine Effects

    • Effects may plateau; potentially interact with caffeine and other banned substances.
    • Increases strength, power, lean mass, and lessens fatigue.

    Glycogenesis vs Other Metabolic Processes

    • Glycogenesis is glucose conversion to glycogen for storage.
    • Glycogenesis occurs when there is excess glucose.
    • Glycolysis is a process that happens when energy is needed.

    • Primarily in the liver and to a lesser extent, the kidneys.

    Glycogenolysis

    • The process of breaking down glycogen to produce glucose.
    • Occurs in the liver and muscle cells to provide glucose when needed.

    Fatty Acid Synthesis (Lipogenesis)

    • Converts excess glucose to fatty acids for long-term energy storage.
    • Primary in the liver and adipose tissue to store energy in a less complex way (fat).

    Pentose Phosphate Pathway

    • Produces NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis.
    • Located in the cytoplasm of cells.

    All-or-None Principle

    • Motor units either fire completely or not at all.

    Muscle Adaptation and Training

    Blood Flow and Gas Exchange

    • Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
