    Study Notes

    Metabolic Systems During Exercise

    • Three main metabolic systems: creatine phosphate, glucose-lactic acid, and aerobic systems
    • Creatine phosphate system: provides energy for maximal short bursts of muscle power (approximately 8 seconds)
    • Glucose-lactic acid system: provides energy for maximal muscle activity (approximately 1.6 minutes)
    • Aerobic system: provides energy for prolonged submaximal muscle activity

    Fuels of Exercise

    • Carbohydrates: primary fuel source for brief, intense exercise
    • Fats: primary fuel source for prolonged, moderate-intensity exercise

    Factors Affecting CHO and Fat Use During Exercise

    • Intensity
    • Duration
    • Levels of fatty acids
    • State of training

    Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise

    • Anaerobic exercise: short duration, high intensity, uses mostly CHO, low oxygen consumption, high lactic acid production
    • Aerobic exercise: long duration, low/moderate intensity, uses mixture of CHO and FAT, high oxygen consumption, low lactic acid production

    Muscle Fiber Types

    • Type I (slow twitch): primarily aerobic, uses mixture of CHO and FAT, high oxygen consumption, low lactic acid production
    • Type II (fast twitch): primarily anaerobic, uses mostly CHO, low oxygen consumption, high lactic acid production

    Maximal Exercise and Recovery

    • Maximal exercise for 15 seconds: initially uses ATP/CP, then anaerobic metabolism, and finally aerobic metabolism
    • Recovery from 15-second max effort is rapid, allowing for repeated maximal efforts
    • Long-distance effort: aerobic metabolism provides more than 60% of energy demands, with anaerobic metabolism still playing a role
    • Recovery from long-distance effort takes longer, requiring lactate clearance and replenishment of glycogen stores

    Distance and Metabolism

    • 100-yard dash: anaerobic metabolism dominant
    • 500-yard dash: aerobic metabolism dominant
    • 200-yard dash: mixed metabolism, high lactate production, and pain

    Oxygen Debt and EPOC

    • Oxygen debt: excess post-exercise oxygen consumption above resting levels
    • EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption): consists of lactacid and alactacid components
    • Factors contributing to high EPOC: increased body temperature, restoration of electrolyte balance, and increased catecholamines and thyroid hormones

    Fate of Lactic Acid

    • Used as a source of energy in other muscles or body tissues (e.g., heart, liver, and mitochondria)
    • Converted to glycogen in the liver

    Long-term Training Adaptations

    • Neovascularization: increased ability to move waste products, maintaining contraction
    • Increased ability to use lactic acid as a source of energy
