Cards in this deck (10)
- 1energy sourcesthe substrates used to provide the ATP that is used for muscles contractions.
- 2triglyceridemain form of stored fat, used as an energy source
- 3beta oxidationbreakdown of fats into acetyl coA within the sarcoplasm
- 4maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max)the maximum amount of oxygen taken in, transported and used by the body per minute
- 5oxygen deficitwhen insufficient oxygen is avaliable at the start of exercise to provide all the ATP needed aerobically
- 6steady statethe period of exercise when oxygen consumption matches the energy being used
- 7aerobic capacitythe maximum rate at which a person can consume oxygen
- 8excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)the volume of oxygen consumed above resting levels following exercise/during recovery
- 9alactacidoxygen used for rapid resynthesis of phosphocreatine and resaturation of myoglobin
- 10lactic acidoxygen used to remove lactic acid and maintain high heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature
