Myofibrils of the myofibers are the contractile elements, composed of sarcomeres containing thick and thin filaments arranged in a regular array.

PCr in Anaerobic Metabolism
Definition
PCr is present in the sarcoplasm of muscle at about three times the concentration of ATP

PCr hydrolysis is initiated at the onset of muscular contraction to buffer the rapid accumulation of ADP resulting from ATP hydrolysis

The rate of PCr hydrolysis begins to decline after only a few seconds of maximal force generation

Importance of PCr to muscle energy production and function lies in the extremely rapid rate at which it can resynthesize ATP
Term
Glycolysis in Anaerobic Metabolism

Lactate accumulates, associated H ions cause intramuscular pH to fall, inhibiting enzymes, contractile mechanism begins to fail

Low pH stimulates nerve endings in the muscle, causes perception of pain

Training adaptations to alter this
Term
Carb Summary
Definition
CHO is the major fuel for muscle activity in high intensity exercise, when muscle glycogen stores are depleted, only low-intensity exercise is possible

The time that a fixed exercise intensity can be sustained is related to the size of the pre-exercise glycogen store. The size of the store depends on the pattern of exercise and diet in the previous hours and days
Term
Fat Oxidation Summary
Definition
The principal storage form of fat in the body is triglyceride, most of which is located in adipose tissue

Triglyceride stores are also found in liver and muscle and as lipoproteins in blood

Muscles cannot oxidize triglycerides directly, must first be broken down into its fatty acid and glycerol components by lipolysis

This process is activated during exercise by the actions of epinephrine, glucagon, an cortisol. The principal sources of fat fuels for exercise are blood-borne FA's derived from adipose tissue and intramuscular triglyceride
Term
Protein Oxidation
Definition
CHOs and fats supply most of the energy to regenerate ATP

Protein normally contributes less than 5% energy needed for muscular contraction

During starvation or glycogen depletion protein catabolism may become increasingly important
-Can enter krebs cycle as Acetyl CoA, ketoglutarate, or oxaloacetate

During exercise contribution is likely to be 5%, during prolonged exercise may increase to 10%
Term
Fuel Stores in Muscle

Primary stimulus for increase insulin is the rise of the blood glucose concentration after eating a meal

Usually depressed during exercise
Term
Glucagon
Definition
Causes effect opposite to insulin

Raises blood glucose level by increasing the rate of glycogenolysis (glycogen breakdown in liver)

Promotes gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from non CHO precursors)

Primary stimulus for increase glucagon is a decrease of the blood glucose concentration in the blood
Term
Catecholamines
Definition
Stimulation of heart rate, constriction/dilation of blood vessels

Effects of epinephrine more important that norepinephrine

Promote lipolysis in adipose tissue, inhibits insulin secretion

Primary stimulus by stressors such as exercise, hypotension, hypoglycemia
Term

Definition
ATP fuels 2 seconds of max intensity

The rate of resynthesis muust match that of expenditure to maintain force

The rate of PCr hydolysis declines with time of maximal force generation

If high intensity exercise is to continue beyond a few seconds, there must be an increase in glycolysis

Still extremely rapid, involves several more steps
Term
Factors affecting fatigue in high intensity
Definition
Gradual decline in anaerobic ATP production
Increase in ADP caused by depletion of PCr and fall in glycolysis
Exercise lasting 1-5 minutes lactic acid and H ion accumulation may contribute
Accumulation of Pi=inhibits muscle contraction coupling directly
Ca transport slows, reduction of reuptake
Excitation coupling failure
Possibly at reduced nervous drive caused by reflex inhibition at the spinal level
Term
Prolonged Exercise
Definition
Prolonged exercise is when an exercise intensity can be sustained for 30 minutes to 3 hours

Rates of PCr degradation and lactate production during the first minutes are closely related to the intensity of the exercise

Fat oxidation during prolonged exercise
Definition
During early stages of exercise fat oxidation is limited by the delay in the mobilization of FA from adipose tissue

Observed to fall during the first hour of moderate intensity exercsie followed by a progressive increase due to lipolysis starting as catecholamines
Term
Fuel Utilization Summary
Definition
At marathon running pace, muscle CHO stores alone can fuel about 80 minutes of exercise

Fat oxidation ATP resynthesis alone cannot meet ATP requirement for exercise higher than 50-60% VO2max
Term
Fatigue
Definition
Muscle glycogen depletion, inability of muscle to maintain ATP synthesis, ADP and Pi accumulation

Exercise after a period of fasting or a diet low in CHO resultes in hypoglycemia, may be direct cause of fatigue

Afferent chemoreceptors possibly feeds back to the motor cortex inducing central fatigue causing athlete to decrease intensity

Higher initial levels of muscle/liver glycogen leveles cause a small level of hormons to stimulate lipolysis, also see smaller rises in CHO ingestion during exercise=fat mobilization is delayed, rate of fat oxidation is less
Term
Metabolic Adaptations to Training
Definition
Increase in cap. density, mito size and number
TCA cycle and oxidative enzymes increase
Capacity to oxidize fat and CHO increases
Affect substrate utilization
Increases cross-sectional area of type I fibers
Increase capactiy to use fat during submaximal exercise
Increased cardiac output, VO2 max
Improved O2 delivery to working muscles
Lower hormonal responses to exercise
Decrease rate of muscle glycogen, blood glucose utilization and lactate accumulation during submaximal exercise
Increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity there is less disturbance to ATP homeostasis
Term
Fuel Source/Metabolism Conclusion
Definition
Training strength, power, speed has little if any effect on aerobic capacity

Heavy resistance training or sprinting brings about changes to (ATP and PCr) and glycolytic systems

Heavy resistance training causes hypertrophy, thus increasing total muscle mass and possibly maximum power

Stretch, contraction, and damage to muscle fibers during exercise provide stimuli for adaptation
