Questions and Answers

How does exercise intensity influence the primary energy system utilized?

  • Higher intensity exercise demands faster ATP production, while lower intensity exercise allows for slower, more efficient means of ATP production. (correct)
  • The intensity has no effect on which energy system is used; all intensities use all systems equally.
  • Higher intensity exercise primarily uses slower more efficient means of ATP production, whereas lower intensity uses faster production.
  • Higher intensity exercise relies solely on fat oxidation, while lower intensity uses carbohydrates.

    • When does a single energy system provide the complete supply of energy during exercise or rest?

  • At no time does any single energy system provide the total supply of energy. (correct)
  • During the first few seconds of maximal exercise.
  • During periods of deep sleep.
  • During low-intensity, long-duration activities.

    • During high-intensity exercise, how quickly does stored ATP get depleted?

  • Stored ATP lasts for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stored ATP can last for 3-5 seconds. (correct)
  • Stored ATP lasts for about 8-10 minutes.
  • ATP stores are never depleted during exercise.

    Study Notes

    Metabolic Regulation & Recovery

    • Exercise intensity determines the primary energy system used.
    • Higher intensity requires faster ATP production.
    • Lower intensity allows for slower, more efficient ATP production.
    • No single energy system provides complete energy supply during exercise or rest.

    Biological Energy Systems

    • Duration and intensity of exercise dictate the primary energy system used.
    • 0-6 seconds: Extremely high intensity - Phosphagen system.
    • 6-30 seconds: Very high intensity - Phosphagen and fast glycolysis systems.
    • 30 seconds to 2 minutes: High intensity - Fast glycolysis.
    • 2-3 minutes: Moderate intensity - Fast glycolysis and oxidative system.

    • 3 minutes: Low intensity - Oxidative system.

    • The relationships between duration, intensity, and primary energy systems used assume best possible performance for a given event.

    Substrate Depletion and Repletion - Phosphagens

    • Stored ATP lasts 3-5 seconds.
    • Phosphocreatine (PCr) decreases markedly (50-70%) during the first stage (5-30 seconds) of high-intensity exercise.
    • PCr can be almost eliminated with very intense exercise.
    • Complete ATP resynthesis takes 3-5 minutes.
    • Complete PCr resynthesis occurs within 8-10 minutes.

    Substrate Depletion and Repletion - Glycogen

    • Glycogen depletion rate is related to exercise intensity.
    • Above 60% maximal oxygen uptake, muscle glycogen is a major energy substrate.
    • Entire glycogen content of some muscle cells can become depleted during exercise.
    • Muscle glycogen replenishment during recovery is linked to post-exercise carbohydrate ingestion.

    Lactate & Recovery

    • High-intensity exercise can induce metabolic acidosis.
    • Muscles produce lactate to help counteract acidity.
    • A cooldown of low-intensity exercise helps flush out excess acidity and lactate.

    Ranking of Bioenergetic Limiting Factors

    • Ranking table (Table 2.5/3.4) shows the limiting factors for different exercises.

    • Light exercise (marathon) is primarily limited by fat stores and lower pH.

    • Heavy exercise (400m run) is often limited by muscle glycogen stores.

    • Intense exercise (discus) is frequently limited by ATP and creatine phosphate.

    • Note: There isn't a need to memorize every numerical detail of the ranking table but understanding limiting factors for different exercises is key.

    • Specific dietary supplements may mitigate some of these limiting factors.
