Period 2 Weight Training Blog 3 What is a Metcon?

The term "metcon" was shortened from metabolic conditioning. Metabolic conditioning refers to conditioning exercises intended to increase the storage and delivery of energy for any activity. We will talk about the energy pathways the body uses in future posts, and how metcons train each. The short definition of a metcon is high intensity interval training. We will perform our first metcon this week. "1/2 Cindy" is a workout where we do as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of the following exercises. 5-pull-ups, 10-push-ups, 15squats. For this weeks blog I want you to explore the blog or use google if you need to and list for me three energy pathways the body uses to convert food into fuel. This will be a 10 point summative assessment ans I will not post your responses until next Monday.

  6. a metcon is when your work in weight lifting of any kind even body weight into a cardiovascular exercise like running a mile and between each lap doing exercises with dung bells

    First the body uses ATP stored in the muscles (about 3 seconds work of exercise) and creatine phosphate to replenish that ATP until your body runs out of creatine. Then, Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP to run the body. Aerobic respiration relies on the circulatory and pulmonary systems to transport oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, carbohydrates are broken down through glycolysis. Glycolysis provides energy, but builds up lactic acid in muscles.

  12. The body can
    1)ATP-PCr system, where ATP is produced at fast rates and can sustain highest output energy a short period of time. It doesn't require oxygen and is anaerobic.
    2) The glycolytic system, which breaks down glucose can be either aerobic or anaerobic.
    3)The oxidative system, which slowly rebuilds ATP over time and is used during low intensity workouts or at rest.

  17. The body uses ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, a compound that stores and releases energy to cells), CP (Creatine Phosphate, a compound that helps the production of ATP), and LA (Lactic Acid, a compound that is produced in extreme fatigue situations) as one pathway. It uses LA and O2 (aerobic, a system that produces ATP continuously and is often used in endurance situations) as a second pathway and O2 by itself as a third.
