Study Notes
Physical and Physiological Factors Affecting Sport Performance
- The presentation discusses the metabolic systems involved in exercise.
- Objectives include explaining muscle metabolic systems, recovery mechanisms, effects of smoking and age on performance, body fluids, and drug effects.
- ATP is the primary energy source for muscle contraction.
- Muscle cells have limited ATP stores, requiring continuous replenishment.
Muscle Metabolic Systems
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): The direct energy source for muscle contraction. Small stores are present in muscle cells but are rapidly depleted.
- Creatine Phosphate (CP): High-energy phosphate that can quickly regenerate ATP. Cells have more CP than ATP. CP is used for immediate energy.
- Glycolysis (Anaerobic): Provides energy quickly without oxygen. Breaks down glucose to produce ATP and lactic acid. This pathway can fuel activities for approximately 40-60 seconds.
- Aerobic Respiration: The main energy source for prolonged exercise. Requires oxygen and breaks down glucose and other fuels for large ATP production. This system is efficient for longer duration activities.
Energy Systems Interaction
- The immediate energy system (ATP/PCr) is crucial for very short, high-intensity activities (e.g., 100-meter dash).
- The short-term energy system (anaerobic glycolysis) is primary for activities lasting 30-40 seconds (e.g., 200-meter dash).
- The long-term energy system (oxidative system) is essential for activities lasting longer (e.g., marathon running).
Recovery of Muscle Metabolic Systems
- Replenishing ATP, CP, and glycogen stores after exercise requires time and proper nutrients.
- Lack of oxygen or sufficient nutrients can lead to muscle fatigue.
- Muscle glycogen depletion during prolonged exercise will rely on fatty acids for fuel.
Factors Affecting Performance
- Smoking: Damages respiratory function, hindering airflow and gas exchange, reducing performance.
- Heart Disease & Age: Reduced cardiac output and muscle mass impact performance. Older adults and individuals with heart conditions may have significantly decreased capacity for strenuous exercise.
- Body Fluids & Salts: Sweat loss leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, potentially reducing performance.
- Drugs: While some, like caffeine, might enhance performance, their misuse can lead to serious health risks (e.g., heart problems). Steroids and amphetamines increase performance, but with side effects.
Body Fitness and Prolonged Life
- Regular exercise and a healthy weight help improve cardiovascular health.
- Maintaining optimal fitness contributes to a longer and healthier life by reducing risks associated with heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
