What is a major byproduct of the Krebs (citric acid) cycle?
CO2
Name the two components of EPOC.
The fast (alactacid) component and the slow (lactacid) component.
How many molecules of ATP are produced from 1 molecule of glucose during aerobic energy production?
38 (net production)
Name 3 components of the slow component of EPOC.
Restoring glycogen stores (primary)
Flushing lactic acid
Restoring temperature and hormones to homeostasis
What type of fuel is a boxer predominantly relying on in each 3 minute round of a match?
glycogen
State a factor of recovery that doesn't require oxygen.
Restoring ATP/PC, and muscle glycogen levels
Name three aspects of the fast component of EPOC?
Resynthesising PC, resynthesising ATP, resaturating myoglobin with oxygen.
During some exercises, fatty acids will be metabolized after glycogen stores have been drained. Where do fatty acids enter the metabolic process?
They are converted to Acetyl CO A and enter the Krebs - (they skip the beginning stages of clycolysis all together).
How long does it take to resynthesis 50 - 75% of PC levels?
1 minute
