Delivery of Oxygen to the Working Muscles

The respiratory system is responsible for the extraction of oxygen from the atmosphere. This process is called ventilation.

Diffusion – Exchange of gases based on concentration levels (High to low). Occurs at a cellular level (In the lungs and in the muscle cell)

Cardiac output (Heart rate x stroke volume) - The heart pumps out oxygenated blood to the vascular system.

Oxygen combines with haemoglobin in the blood Myoglobin, in the muscle attracts the oxygen from the blood and draws it into the mitochondria. Waste produces of aerobic metabolism is removed from the muscle cell via diffusion.See fig 5.2 p.119

Oxygen Uptake

Limiting factors to oxygen uptake; Respiratory system – ability to take in oxygen Cardiovascular system – ability to transport

and deliver oxygen Muscular system – Utilisation of oxygen Type of exercise performed, genetic

inheritance, lifestyle, age and gender.

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

Heart Rate and Oxygen consumption

When exercising; Our heart rate increases to meet

the oxygen demands for the working muscles.

The relationship between HR and oxygen consumption is linear.

Trained athletes are able to utilise their oxygen uptake more efficiently than non trained people.

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

Oxygen Deficit

Oxygen deficit occurs when the demand for oxygen exceeds the supply of oxygen available.

The body therefore needs to obtain ATP through anaerobic pathways.

Short duration/high intensity – Lactic acid is produced but is removed once oxygen demands are met.

Performance is hindered due to the presence of lactic acid

Once oxygen demands are met, the body reaches its steady state.

Aerobic glycolysis assists in the removal of lactic acid.

Acute ResponsesOxygen Uptake, Oxygen Deficit and Oxygen Debit

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

Acute Responses

Acute responses occur to supply extra oxygen and nutrients to support ATP production.

Acute responses include; Reduction in creatine

stores Accumulation of lactic acid Increase in epinephrine

(Regulates BP and O2 consumption levels)

Reduction in glycogen stores

Increase in muscle temperature

Increase in cardiac output Redistribution of blood to

working muscles.Responses are dependent

on intensity, duration, fitness levels and type of activity used.

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

Acute Responses

Acute responses to exercise. Increase in;

Oxygen intake Transport of oxygen Extraction of oxygen from

the blood Consumption of oxygen by

working muscles Continues until maximum

uptake is met (VO2 max)

Oxygen DebtOxygen Uptake, Oxygen Deficit and Oxygen Debit

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

Oxygen Debit

After exercise our demand for ATP decreases but we still need to ‘repay’ the oxygen needed during exercise.

This is why we puff after intense activities.

The higher the intensity and duration of activities, the longer the oxygen debit.

VCE Physical Education - Unit 3

EPOC

Another term used for oxygen recovery is EPOC – excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.

Alactacid Debt – Oxygen used to restore ATP and PC storesLactacid Debt - Oxygen used to remove lactic acid from cells/blood.Additional oxygen is used to recover the energy systems.

EPOC Fast Replenishment (0 3 minutes)

Slow Replenishment (0 minutes hours)

ATP resynthesis Return core temperature to pre-exercise levels

PC resynthesis LA converted to CO2 & H2OAbsorption of H+ ions (buffering)

Restore oxygen to myoglobin LA converted to glycogen, protein & glucose

Restoring heart rate, ventilation & other body systems to pre-exercise levels
