Exercise Metabolism
Rest-to-Exercise Transitions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How much ATP is produced by aerobic metabolism? | Almost 100% |
| Oxygen deficit | Lag in oxygen uptake at the beginning of exercise |
| Energy Requirements at Rest | *Blood lactate levels are low (<1.0 mmol/L) *Resting O2 consumption: (0.25 L/min; 3.5 ml/kg/min) |
| Initial ATP production through | anaerobic pathways: ATP-PC system & Glycolysis |
| Why do trained subjects have a lower oxygen deficit | *Better-developed aerobic bioenergetic capacity *Due to cardiovascular or muscular adaptations |
| A lower O2 deficit in results in... | less production of lactic acid |
| The failure of oxygen uptake to increase instantly at the beginning of exercise suggests that | anaerobic pathways contribute to the overall production on ATP early in exercise |
| After a steady state is reached, | the body’s ATP requirement is met via aerobic metabolism. |
