Recovery from Exercise: Metabolic Responses. Metabolic Responses to Exercise: Influence of Duration and Intensity. Estimation of Fuel Utilization During Exercise. Factors Governing Fuel Selection. © McGraw Hill 3 Energy requirements at rest Almost 100% of ATP produced by aerobic metabolism. Blood lactate levels are low (5 seconds. Shift to ATP production via glycolysis. Events lasting >45 seconds. ATP production through ATP-PC, glycolysis, and aerobic systems. 70% anaerobic/30% aerobic at 60 seconds. 50% anaerobic/50% aerobic at 2 minutes. © McGraw Hill 16 Metabolic responses to exercise: influence of duration and intensity 2 Metabolic Responses to prolonged exercise (more than 10 minutes) in cool environment. ATP production primarily from aerobic metabolism. Steady-state oxygen uptake can generally be maintained during submaximal exercise (below lactate threshold). Prolonged exercise in a hot and humid environment or at high intensity. Results in upward drift in oxygen uptake over time due to increases in body temperature and increasing blood levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine. © McGraw Hill 17 Impact of exercise intensity and ambient temperature on VO2 during exercise Exercise at 50% VO2max in a hot/humid environment Exercise at 75% VO2max in a cool environment Access the text alternative for slide images. Figure 4.6 © McGraw Hill 18 Metabolic responses to incremental exercise Oxygen uptake increases linearly until maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is achieved. No further increase in VO2 with increasing work rate. “Physiological ceiling” for delivery of O2 to muscle. Influenced by genetics and training. Physiological factors influencing VO2 max. Maximum ability of cardiorespiratory system to deliver oxygen to the muscle. Ability of muscles to use oxygen and produce ATP aerobically. © McGraw Hill 19 Oxygen consumption (VO2) during an incremental exercise test Access the text alterative for slide images. Figure 4.7 © McGraw Hill 20 How do you verify that VO2 max has been reached during an incremental exercise test? A Closer Look 4.2 Verification of VO2 max-key points. Gold Standard for verification of VO2 max is a plateau in O2 consumption with increase in work rate. Most subjects do not achieve a plateau in O2 consumption during an incremental exercise test. If a plateau in O2 consumption is not achieved, what secondary criteria can confirm VO2 max has been achieved? Suggested criteria include: Reaching age-predicted max heart rate (+/- 10 beats/min). Achieving blood lactate concentration of 8 mM or higher. Attaining a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.15 or higher. Research reveals that these criterial do not always “prove” that VO2 max has been reached. © McGraw Hill 21 Incremental exercise and lactate threshold Lactate threshold is the work rate at which blood lactic acid rises systematically during incremental exercise. Appears at around 50 to 60% VO2 max in untrained subjects. Occurs at higher work rates (65 to 80% VO2 max) in endurance trained subjects. Lactate threshold has also been called: Anaerobic threshold. Onset of blood lactate accumulation (O B L A). Exercise intensity at which blood lactate levels reach 4 m m o l per L. © McGraw Hill 22 Lactate threshold Access the text alterative for slide images. Figure 4.8 © McGraw Hill 23 Possible explanations for the lactate threshold Low muscle oxygen (hypoxia). Recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers. LDH isozyme in fast fibers promotes lactic acid formation. Reduced rate of lactate removal from the blood. Accelerated glycolysis. N A D H produced faster than it is shuttled into mitochondria. Excess N A D H in cytoplasm converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid. © McGraw Hill 24 Mitochondrial hydrogen shuttle system and lactate production Access the text alterative for slide images.

Figure 4.10 © McGraw Hill 26 Does lactate production during exercise cause muscle soreness? Winning Edge 4.1 Some athletes believe that lactate promotes muscle soreness following exercise training-Research does not support this claim. Lactate removal from blood is rapid (within 60 minutes) following exercise (Figure 4.4). If lactate production caused muscle soreness, sprinters (track athletes that run 100 to 400 meter events) would experience soreness following every training session. Muscle soreness is rate following routine workout. What causes delayed onset muscle soreness? Likely microscopic injury to muscle fibers (chapter 21). © McGraw Hill 27 Practical uses of lactate threshold Prediction of endurance performance (for example, 10K run). Combined with running economy. Planning training programs. Marker of training intensity. Select a training HR based on lactate threshold. Training near (just below) lactate threshold is effective in shifting lactate threshold to right. © McGraw Hill 28 Removal of blood lactate following exercise Closer Look 4.1 Access the text alterative for slide images. Figure 4.4 © McGraw Hill 29 Estimation of fuel utilization during submaximal exercise 1 Measurement of respiratory exchange ratio provides a noninvasive technique to estimate fuel utilization during exercise. The respiratory exchange ratio (R) is the ratio of carbon dioxide produced to the oxygen consumed (VCO2/VO2). In order for R to be used as an estimate of substrate utilization during exercise, the subject must be in a steady-state. This is important because only during steady-state exercise are the VCO2 and VO2 reflective of metabolic exchange of gases in tissues. The caloric equivalent for oxygen is 4.7 kcal per L when fat alone is used and 5.0 kcal per L when carbohydrate is the only fuel (approximately 6% difference between fuels). Using R to estimate fuel utilization assumes that protein is NOT used as a fuel during exercise. © McGraw Hill 30 Estimation of fuel utilization during submaximal exercise 2 Measurement of pulmonary gas exchange provides a noninvasive technique to estimate fuel utilization during exercise and involves measurement of respiratory exchange ratio (R). VCO2 R= VO2 Measurement must be performed during steady state exercise (that is below lactate threshold). Assumes that “0” protein is used as a fuel during exercise. © McGraw Hill 31 Estimation of fuel utilization during submaximal exercise R for fat (palmitic acid).

Boston, MA: Little Brown & Company, 1984. © McGraw Hill 33 Factors governing fuel selection during exercise Fuel selection during exercise is influenced by several factors including: Exercise intensity. Exercise duration. Availability of fuels (for example, availability of muscle glycogen and glucose in blood and availability of free fatty acids). © McGraw Hill 34 Exercise intensity and fuel selection 1 Low-intensity exercise (70% VO2 max). Carbohydrates are primary fuel. © McGraw Hill 35 Exercise intensity and fuel selection 2 “Crossover” concept. Describes the shift from fat to C H O metabolism as exercise intensity increases. Due to: Recruitment of fast muscle fibers. Increasing blood levels of epinephrine stimulate glycogen breakdown. © McGraw Hill 36 Exercise intensity and fuel utilization during exercise: crossover concept Access the text alterative for slide images. Figure 4.11 © McGraw Hill 37 McArdle’s syndrome: a genetic error in muscle glycogen metabolism Clinical Application 4.1 Individuals with McArdle’s Syndrome cannot synthesize the muscle enzyme phosphorylase due to genetic mutation; this results in the inability to break down muscle glycogen. McArdle’s Syndrome patients do not produce lactate during an incremental exercise test and complain of exercise intolerance and muscle pain. © McGraw Hill 38 Exercise duration and fuel selection 1 Prolonged, low-intensity exercise. Shift from carbohydrate metabolism toward fat metabolism. Due to an increased rate of lipolysis. Breakdown of triglycerides glycerol + FFA. By enzymes called lipases. Stimulated by rising blood levels of several hormones (chapter 5). © McGraw Hill 39 Exercise duration and fuel selection 2 Access the text alterative for slide images. Figure 4.12 © McGraw Hill 40 Interaction of fat and C H O metabolism during exercise “Fats burn in the flame of carbohydrates.” Glycogen is depleted during prolonged high-intensity exercise. Reduced rate of glycolysis and production of pyruvate. Reduced Citric acid (Krebs) cycle intermediates. Reduced fat oxidation. Fats are metabolized by Krebs cycle. © McGraw Hill 41 Carbohydrate supplementation during exercise improves endurance performance Winning Edge 4.2 The depletion of muscle and blood carbohydrate stores contributes to fatigue. Ingestion of carbohydrates can improve endurance performance. During submaximal (90 minutes) exercise. 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour are required. May also improve performance in shorter, higher intensity events (greater than or equal to 45 minutes duration). © McGraw Hill 42 What exercise intensity is best for burning fat? 1 Prolonged exercise at low intensity (approximately 20% VO2 max). High percentage of energy expenditure (approximately 66%) derived from fat. However, total energy expended is low (3 kcal min−1) Total fat oxidation is also low (2 kcal min−1) Prolonged exercise at higher intensities (approximately 60% VO2 max). Lower percentage of energy (approximately 33%) from fat Total energy expended is higher (9 kcal min−1) Total fat oxidation is also higher (3 kcal min−1) © McGraw Hill 43 What exercise intensity is best for burning fat? 2 FATmax. Highest rate of fat oxidation. Reached just before lactate threshold. © McGraw Hill 44 Impact of exercise intensity on fat metabolism Access the text alterative for slide images.
