Name the four ATP energy systems and how long they provide energy for. -
ANSWER: ATP-CP - 1-10 sec's at very high intensity \nGlycolytic - high intensity 10
secs - 2-3 min\nOxidative - mid to low intensity +2 min\nFatty Acid Oxidation - low
intensity +2 min
How many units of ATP does each ATP energy system deliver? - ANSWER: ATP-CP: 1
unit of ATP/ unit of CP
Glycolytic: 2-3 ATP/unit of glucose
Oxidative: 38 ATP/ unit of glucose
Fatty Acid Oxidation: 100 ATP/unit of fatty acid
What is EPOC? - ANSWER: excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
What is the lactate threshold? - ANSWER: The point at which the aerobic system
cannot supply enough ATP for the needs of the body
What type of fuel does the ATP-CP energy system use? - ANSWER: Stored ATP
what type of fuel does the glycolytic system use? - ANSWER: blood glucose, muscle
glycogen
what type of fuel does the oxidative system use? - ANSWER: blood glucose, muscle
glycogen
what type of fuel does the fatty acid oxidation system use? - ANSWER: fatty acids in
the blood stream
What is the work to rest ratio for ATP-CP interval training? - ANSWER: 1:3-1:6
What is the work to rest ratio for glycolitic system interval training? - ANSWER: 1:2-
1:5
What is the work to rest ratio for oxidative system interval training? - ANSWER: 1: .5
- 1:1
Why do you not use work relief to train ATP-CP system? - ANSWER: Adequate rest is
needed to replenish ATP in the cells
,Why would you use work relief to train glycolytic system? - ANSWER: Blocks ATP
replenishing of ATP
Body relies on lactic acid
Oxidative interval training, why rest relief? - ANSWER: If lactic acid not cleared from
the system the glycolic system is less able to provide energy therefore giving a
stronger training stimulus to the oxidative system
How much rest should be between ATP-CP training interval sets? - ANSWER: 5-10
min
How much rest should be between glycolytic training interval sets? - ANSWER: 10-12
min
How much rest should be between oxidative training interval sets? - ANSWER: 10-15
min
What is the definition of energy? - ANSWER: The body's ability to do work
What is anaerobic metabolism? - ANSWER: without oxygen
What is aerobic metabolism? - ANSWER: with oxygen
What is the function of the right atrium and right ventricle? - ANSWER: Collect blood
from the tisues and move it through the lungs
What is the function of the left atrium and left ventricle? - ANSWER: receive blood
from the lungs and moves it to the tissues of the body and back to right side of heart
Veins carry blood into or away from the heart? - ANSWER: into
Arteries carry blood into or away from the heart? - ANSWER: away
Oxygenated blood leaves the heart via the? - ANSWER: aorta
How many liters of blood typically circulate in an adult every minute? - ANSWER: 5L
Blood pressure is the result of? - ANSWER: Blood being pumped out of the heart and
pressing against the arterial walls
What is an average resting blood pressure? - ANSWER: 120/80 (mmHg)
What is name of function of the top number with regards to blood pressure? -
ANSWER: systolic, the pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart
contracts
, What is name of function of the bottom number with regards to blood pressure? -
ANSWER: diastolic, the pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries as the heart
relaxes
During exercise what happens to systolic blood pressure? - ANSWER: Rises quickly to
about 200 mmHg then levels off
During moderate exercise what happens to the diastolic blood pressure? - ANSWER:
remains relatively stable
During what kind exercise might blood pressure spike to higher levels then 200
mmHg? - ANSWER: weightlifting as the muscular contractions compress the arteries
and resist blood flow
Aprox average resting heart rate? - ANSWER: 72bpm
Where is the carotid artery and what can it be used to measure? - ANSWER: neck
below jaw line, blood pressure
Where is the radial artery and what can it be used to measure? - ANSWER: wrist,
blood pressure
What is stroke volume? - ANSWER: the amount of blood that the left ventricle ejects
in one beat
What is the average stroke volume at rest for a typical male? - ANSWER: 70 milliliters
What happens to SV as client becomes fitter? - ANSWER: ventricles become larger
contract with more force
SV increases
trained deliver more blood/heartbeat vs. an untrained
What is cardiac output? - ANSWER: the amount of blood that the heart ejects in 1
minute
What is the equation for determining cardiac output? - ANSWER: CO=SVxHR
What happens to stroke volume during moderate exercise? - ANSWER: increases
early and rises until it plateaus
What happens to HR during exercise? - ANSWER: intensifies to maximal levels before
exhaustion
What are the benefits of better cardiac output? - ANSWER: - means that heart will
beat fewer times ( more rest for heart\n- able to deliver more oxygen and nutrients
to working muscles with less effort
