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.
Phosphate system which doesn't use oxygen. It's used for short burst of energy (10 seconds or so) like running the 100m.
ReplyDeleteGlycolysis which doesn't use oxygen but carbohydrates instead. It's for short bursts too, but for a few minutes at a time. Sort of like doing the Fran, burning through it in 5-10 minutes then slowing down cause the muscle burn and stuff.
Aerobic which is the breathing pathway and all. Uses carbs, fat, protein. And oxygen gets transferred to the muscles to fuel you. Used more for things like a 5k, 10k or a marathon. Just cardio/endurance workouts, maybe even some of our longer metcons like the 7's.
The 3 energy pathways: 1. The ATP-PCr System- sustains all-out exercise for 5-15 seconds.
ReplyDelete2. The Glycolytic System-At 45 seconds of sustained activity there is a second decline in power output. Activity beyond this point corresponds with a growing reliance on the ---
3.The Oxidative System- The oxidative system consists four processes to produce ATP: Slow glycolysis (aerobic glycolysis)
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle)
Electron transport chain
Beta oxidation
--BLATT
The 3 energy pathways are:
ReplyDelete1.ATP-CP Anaerobic Energy Pathway
2.Anaerobic Metabolism - Glycolysis

1) After digestion breakdown products surge through the system. Cells take what they need and direct this fuel to all kinds of hard-laboring enzymes. Various internal compartments process each remnant into usable snacks that are resurrected as energy. Huge amounts of high-energy phosphates are also extracted and wedded to certain proteins that should ideally empower anything your body wants to do. 2)Food is broken down into sugars and starches Sugars and starches are converted to acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA are used to convert NAD+ to NADH NADH is used to convert ADP to ATP. ATP is converted to ADP + P and energy 3)The mitochondria are the converters; they convert the fuel into useable energy. When food is digested, or broken down into its smallest molecules and nutrients, and air is taken in, or inspired, the smallest molecules and nutrients cross into the bloodstream. These molecules and nutrients include things such as glucose (a sugar molecule derived from carbohydrates) and oxygen.

1.Glycolysis: The process which the body turns glucose(sugar)into ATP(energy).
ReplyDelete2.Oxidative Phosphorylation: During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors such as oxygen, in redox reactions. These redox reactions release energy, which is used to form ATP.
3.The Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle): The citric acid cycle is part of a metabolic pathway involved in the chemical conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate a form of usable energy.

There is the ATP-CP or the Phosphogen pathway, which is anaerobic, the glycolysis pathway, which is also anaerobic, and aerobic metabolism, which is, obviously, aerobic.
