Document Summary
Vo2 max 45 ml/kg/min for heavy front row players to 65 ml/kg/min for 2nd row and back players. During recovery, atp is reformed, phosphate bound together to make more. Glycolysis: the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid (pyruvate) and energy. Insulin and glut-4-carriers enable glucose to enter the cell. If you haven"t eaten in 4-6 hours (you are fasted) you still have glucose in the blood blood. Within the pancreas we have beta- cells that can form insulin. Chocolate bar is going to drive blood glucose up --> insulin is released from pancreas --> blood glucose level reduced. These carriers migrate to that membrane between blood vessel and muscle fibre and will specifically transport the glucose across muscle cell membrane . People with type 1 diabetes are unable to produce insulin: need insulin shots. This enables them to move glucose from blood into muscle. (their pancreas doesn"t form insulin)
