KNES 464 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Vo2 Max, Blood Sugar, Glycolysis
Document Summary
Cho and fat utilization during endurance exercise. Caloric burn while walking, running, and cycling. Vo2 and vo2 max testing and oxygen uptake. Will be using fat for fuel at low intensity and also long duration exercise. Know insulin signaling and effective contraction on glucose movement and glucose uptake in response to contraction for final. Need oxygen and mitochondria working at all times. Fat is primarily what we burn/use for fuel of heart. Fat ends on 60% on top, while 100% for cho. Not really sure why: absolute fat utilization actually goes down, but more than make up for it. They use more fat for fuel want to have as much carbohydrate that you can later in the race so that you can pick it up and sprint. Human subjects derive less energy from plasma ffa metabolism when trained than when sedentary.
