changing the number of muscle cells being stimulated at one time
Term
About how many seconds does it take for available stores of ATP to be depleted?
Definition
About 4 - 6.
Term
How is ATP regenerated?
Definition
Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine Phosphate.
Anaerobic Pathway (glycolysis)
Aerobic respiration.
Term
Anaerobic pathway
Definition
Under intense muscle contraction or when oxygen is impaired.
Begins just like aerobic but pyruvic acid -> lactic acid.
Term
Aerobic pathway
Definition
Produces 95% of ATP during rest and light to moderate exercise
Fuels: Stored glycogen, bloodborne glucose, pyruvic acid from glycolysis, and free fatty acids.
