Study Notes

Physiologists and Their Contributions

  • The greatest physiologist of all time is considered to be Harvey, who discovered continuous blood circulation.
  • Galen proposed the treatment commonly in use today.
  • Vesalius accurately rendered bones, muscles, nerves, internal organs, and blood vessels.
  • Galen discovered the hierarchical structure of the nervous system and observed the heart as a muscle 'pump'.
  • Da Vinci studied human anatomy for artistic purposes.

Nobel Prize and Energy Systems

  • The Nobel Prize was won for describing the adaptation of blood perfusion in muscles and other organs.
  • The three energy systems involved in metabolism are:
    • Phosphocreatine (PCr) system
    • Lactic acid (anaerobic glycolysis) system
    • Oxidative (aerobic) system
  • Substrates used by each energy system:
    • PCr system: Phosphocreatine
    • Lactic acid system: Glucose
    • Oxidative system: Fat, carbohydrate, and protein
  • The PCr system has the lowest inertia.
  • The Oxidative system has the highest ATP production rate.
  • The Oxidative system has the highest capacity/duration.
  • The PCr system gets fatigued quickly.
  • The main factor that determines the reliance on the anaerobic system is the intensity of exercise.

Lactate Dehydrogenase and Glycolysis

  • Adenylate kinase's function is to replenish ATP during high-intensity exercise.
  • The net production of ATP in glycolysis is 2 ATP.
  • The end product of glycolysis is Pyruvate.
  • Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) converts Pyruvate to Lactate.
  • The five isoforms of LDH are LDH-1, LDH-2, LDH-3, LDH-4, and LDH-5.
  • Fast-twitch fibers produce more lactate.
  • Glycolysis and lactate production are stimulated by high-intensity exercise.
  • Lactate is removed from the body through the liver and kidneys.
  • The Cori cycle takes place in the liver.

Exercise Physiology and Its Importance

  • Exercise physiology is the study of the physiological responses and adaptations to exercise.
  • Three reasons why it is important to study exercise physiology are:
    • To improve athletic performance
    • To enhance health and wellness
    • To prevent and manage chronic diseases

Historical Context of Exercise Physiology

  • Hippocrates considered obesity a disease in ancient Greece.
  • Herodicus advocated for physical training as a treatment for disease.
  • Hippocrates is considered the 'Father of Modern Medicine' and revolutionized medical practice with a holistic approach.
  • Three key figures in the historical context of exercise physiology are:
    • Hippocrates
    • Galen
    • Herodicus
