KINE 4010 Chapter Notes - Chapter all: Glucose Transporter, Bone Density, Exercise Intensity
Document Summary
=> pcr is used rapidly and restored rapidly white atp stays constant even during high intensity exercise. => pcr restoration depends on blood ow, oxygen delivery, and aerobic atp from the mitochondria. The atp-pc system is important at the start of exercise: =>they knocked out the cpk gene and so the atp-pc system won"t work because you need that enzyme. Enzyme is a protein, protein is encoded by a gene, the gene has been knocked out sot there is np atp-pc system. => creatine is in the blood and creatine gets transported in the muscle cell, the higher the creatine ingested the higher creatine in the blood and therefore the higher creatine in the muscle. When cell is full of creatine molecules it represents an osmotic load. because it draws water inside the cell and muscle cell gets bigger. => the main reason to take creatine is to increase pcr (this is delivering phosphate to atp through atp-pc.
