The metabolic pathway that builds molecules using energy.
What is anabolism?
The metabolic process that breaks down glycogen into glucose.
What is glycogenolysis?
This protein, responsible for glucose transport, is more active during exercise.
What is GLUT 4?
The primary driver of fatigue during intense exercise due to acidosis.
What are hydrogen ions (H⁺)?
This muscle fiber type is more resistant to fatigue and relies heavily on aerobic metabolism.
What is Type I (slow-twitch) fiber?
The breakdown of complex molecules to release energy is known as this.
What is catabolism?
The term that describes the amount of oxygen needed to return the body to resting state after exercise
What is EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption)?
These two types of muscle fibers are used primarily in fast, explosive activities.
What are Type IIA and Type IIX fibers?
Carbohydrates are preferred as a fuel source because of this efficiency factor.
What is faster ATP production?
Name 3 factors that influence lactate production. (5 Factors are noteable)
What are muscle contraction, enzyme activity, muscle fiber type, SNS activation, and insufficient oxygen?
This reaction involves the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule.
What is phosphorylation?
(ch2...but should know): This is the first stage of carbohydrate metabolism, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
What is glycolysis?
"Lactic acid" accumulation can inhibit performance by causing this physiological effect.
What is the lowering of pH, leading to muscle fatigue?
At approximately this exercise duration, energy contribution from aerobic and anaerobic systems becomes roughly equal.
What is ~75 seconds?
This is the role of enzymes in metabolic reactions.
What is to speed up the reactions?
Wild Card: You have 15 seconds to choose 1 of the provided options.
1️⃣ Double your points for this question
2️⃣ Subtract this question’s value from another team
This training principle emphasizes that a program must match the desired goal and energy system demands (e.g., ATP-PC, glycolytic, or oxidative)
What is Specificity? (or the SAID Principle)
This process primarily clears lactate from the body.
What is oxidation?
An athlete has an RER of 0.70 during exercise; this indicates primary reliance on this fuel source.
What is fat oxidation (fat as the primary fuel)?
Lactate is primarily cleared through this method rather than being converted to glucose.
What is oxidation?
An athlete is exercising at a constant workload, but VO₂ gradually increases due to rising body temperature, catecholamines, and ventilation cost.
What is oxygen drift?
WILD Card:
You have 2 options:(15 sec)
For the following Question you choose
1️⃣ Protect your team from losing points this round
2️⃣ Force another team to answer instead
The primary energy system used in the first few seconds of high-intensity exercise.
What is the ATP-PC system?
An athlete performs a maximal 6-second sprint, and nearly all ATP resynthesis comes from a system that does not require oxygen and does not produce lactate.
What is the ATP-PC (phosphagen) system?
The most effective way to clear lactate after intense exercise.
What is active recovery?
Name 4 contributing factors of EPOC
What are ATP replenishment, lactate clearance, glycogen resynthesis, thermoregulation, HR/ventilation recovery, hormone normalization, and repair processes?
The process that creates glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
What is gluconeogenesis?
This is the reason why oxygen consumption remains elevated after exercise.
What is the need to replenish ATP and remove lactate?
WILD CARD:
15 seconds to choose between 2 options:
For the following question
1️⃣ Go all in: If correct, triple your points; if incorrect, lose all points from this round
2️⃣ Spread the wealth: Gain the normal points and give +100 to every other team
This is the amount of CO2 produced ➗ O2 consumed at the cellular level.
What is the Respiratory Quotient (RQ)?
