Chapter 6 - Energy systems, The aerobic system can also use proteins…

- - - - Is the final intensity before blood lactate levels begin to rise exponentially. (REMEMBER FINAL INTENSITY or BEFORE LACTACTE LEVELS RISE)
      - LIP is an aerobic adaptation
      - LIP is mainly improved through two main chronic adaptations:
        
        Increased Number and Size of Mitochondria
        
        Increased number of oxidative enzymes
      - Helps us work at a higher intensity aerobically, it is the level of exercise before we begin to fatigue due to hydrogen ion buildup rather than fuel depletion therefore we cannot sustain this level for extended periods of time.
      - In a marathon, the person who can run at a higher constant pace will have a higher LIP as they can remove hydrogen ions better and thus use more of the anaerobic systems without fatiguing
      - The point where lactate levels beginning to rise rapidly is known as OBLA (onset of blood lactate)
    - - Is an Anaerobic adaptation. It is trained through
      - A higher lactate tolerance allows you to work at higher intensities for longer, i.e. to be able to sprint for longer, specifically to be able to use the anaerobic glycolysis system for longer.
      - Alkali buffers can be used to reduce shock, something like bicarb soda can help neutralise the acidity of the muscles and buffer the increase of metabolic by products (H+ ions).
      - Is when muscles can continue to work at high intensities in the presence of increased/ing amount of hydrogen ions/lactic acid.
    - - Blood lactate is the measure of lactate in the blood (mmol/L)
      - It has been found that no one is able to tolerate a blood lactate level above that of 4mmol/L, at this levels muscles begin to stop functioning and the athlete is no longer able to exercise.
      - Blood lactate can be removed by the liver and formed into glycogen, or excrete through urine and sweat.
- - - - PC resynthesis
      - ATP resynthesis
      - Restore oxygen to myoglobin
    - - Convert lactic acid to CO2 and H2O
      - Oxidation of H+ ions
      - Return core temperature to pre exercise levels
      - Convert lactic acid to glycogen, protein and glucose
      - Restore Heart Rate and Ventilation
      - Restore body system to pre exercise levels.
