Document Summary

It doesn"t matter what type of cyclist they are they will still have a high aerobic stamina. In the lab we are looking at substrate concentration. Glucose concentration is tightly controlled in the blood. When you drink pop the levels increase and the pancreas releases insulin. When you exercise calcium is released which helps to increase blood sugar. You are either storing glycogen or using it. Coming from glycogen has an advantage because un like glucose you don"t need energy to go from glycogen to energy. Lower intensity exercise pyruvate goes into the mitochondria. As you increase the intensity and pyruvate builds up the pyruvate becomes lactate and then lactic acid from hydrogen from nadh + h. Nadh + h are produced in the cytoplasm and then are transported/ shuttled to the mitochondria. In heart muscle it is the nad that picks up the h"s. The hydrogens enter the electron transport chain at the beginning.
