⫸ How many units of ATP for each ATP energy system?. 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:
work relief blocks the replenishing of ATP within the cells and ensures
that body relies on the lactic acid system
⫸ Why does oxidative interval training rely on rest relief?. Answer: If
the lactic acid is 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 tissues 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)
