5 Matching Questions
- 3,500
- mitochondria
- sarcomeres
- Muscle stores little CP and ATP
- creatine phosphate system
- a repeating units running the length of each muscle fiber
- b site of ATP production in cells; the more mitochondria - the more aerobic energy production capability of the cell
- c primary limitation of producing ATP in the phosphagen system
- d calories that must be burned to lose 1 pound
- e secondary source anaerobic ATP (to glycogen); high energy phosphate molecule store in cells; can be used to resynthesize ATP immediately; system of energy transfer for resynthesis of ATP without oxygen via breakdown of the CP molecule
5 Multiple Choice Questions
- protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells
- slow speed of contraction & high capacity for aerobic glycolysis (e.g., marathon runner)
- 1. CNS sends nerve impulse; 2. sufficient ATP near actin and myosin protein; 3. myosin heads/filamints attach to actin to form crossbridge; 4. myosin pulls actin to the center; 5. sacromere shortens/contraction occurs
- primary energy source for runner 45-60 min @ 65% VO2 max
- decreased blood flow to the heart leading to insufficient oxygen to the heart and chest pain or angina
5 True/False Questions
-
anaerobic threshold → point during high intensity exercise when the body can no longer meet its oxygen needs and switches to anaerobic metabolism; 50-80% maximum effort
-
fast twitch muscle fiber → fast speed of contraction & high capacity for anaerobic glycolysis (e.g., sprinter, power lifter)
-
50-80% → max O2 consumption for general fitness improvement
-
benefit of cv fitness → heart spends more time in relaxation phase/diastole -- at rest or during exercise
-
Inability to extract O2 and use it at the muscle efficiently → more capillaries; more mitochondria & more activity of mitochondrial enzymes
