Document Summary
Greatest fuel source- glucose drops; you drop-glycolytic system is on site. High intensity exercise, low oxygen intake, high elevations, glycolysis is working at too fast a rate that oxidative system cannot keep up. Hydrogen shuttles blocked up= nadh amounts build up. Lactate inhibits lipolysis: traditionally, lactic acid has been considered the bane of exercise. Explain why this attitude may be incorrect and how lactic acid may actually be beneficial in certain conditions. The heart can utilize this, fast twitch fibers is where you get lactic acid buildup. Slow twitch fibers like the heart can take this. Can be converted into glucose, amino acids, oaa. Low intensity, you can also use long duration. Long duration is the only time you can benefit from carb loading. Not good, can cause lethargy and diminished performance. Ammonia comes from myokinase system-running out of creatine phosphate. Also, eat more carbs and protein: identify a dietary manipulation which has potential for enhancing gymnastic performance.
