1

In the protein study, how was lipolysis measured?

blood glycerol

New cards
2

The dec in plasma volume will result in a _______ venous return which will cause a __ in HR

decrease

Increase

New cards
3

Lipids used during exercise are primarily from _________ why?

Endogenous storage

Ingested lipids take too long to get into system

New cards
4

Where do the end products of lipolysis end up?

Glycerol goes to the liver for GNG

FFA into plasma and to muscle to be used as IMTG or beta ox

New cards
5

What will upregulate lipolysis in both adipose TG and IMTG

Epinephrine primarily

Glucagon, cortisol, caffeine

New cards
6

What is the primary limiting factor in using fat?

Entry into the mitochondria

New cards
7

A low glycolytic rate will allow for ______ fat to enter mitochondria

more

New cards
8

Two primary factors that limit ability to use fat

Mobilization of fat from adipose

AND

Transport into mitochondria

New cards
9

What determines the decrease of relative contribution of lipid oxidation to total EE with inc intensity

Decreased adipose tissue blood flow which dec FFA circulation

Dec entry of LCFA into mitoch bc of high glycolytic rate

New cards
10

What would the effect of having a acute (hours before) high fat meal have?

Increased plasma FFA availability

New cards
11

Why would it be beneficial to consume SCFA and MCFA w/ respect to exercise?

Their entry into the mitoch is less regulated which will inc FA entry into mitoch

New cards
12

High fat diet periodization will have what effect

Increase lipid oxidizing capacity

Increase plasma FFA availability

Increase FA entry into mitoch

New cards
13

Why is a high CHO meal so low in plasma FFAs

Increased insulemic response

Decreased fat mobilization

New cards
14

Why are plasma FFAs not increased significantly by the FAT-consuming group compared to the placebo group?

Because ingested fats enter blood as chylomicrons not pFFAs

New cards
15

Will a high fat meal cause the sparing of some muscle glycogen? Even with this in mind, which group performed best?

Yes it will spare some muscle glycogen

BUT the high CHO group still performed best in the time trial

New cards
16

Will a high fat pre exercise meal reduce CHO ox during intense exercise and improve TT performance in trained cyclists?

Yes it will reduce CHO ox but will not improve TT performance

New cards
17

What is the problem w pre exercise high FAT meals?

They will enter blood as chylomicrons meanwhile muscle prefers FFA

New cards
18

What is a method to inc plasma FFA availability (but not really possible during exercise). Will this increase lipox?

To infuse into blood directly w/o having to go through GI system

Yes but it will still be at a lower degree bc of dec entry into mitoch

New cards
19

What are the two primary factors that will decrease fat oxidation at higher exercise intensities?

Reduction in lipox due to high glyc rate-→ downregulated CAT 1-→ dec entry to mitoch

Reduction in lipox due to dec plasma FFA availability

New cards
20

A high fat diet will induce the following adaptations

Increased sarcolemmal FA transporters

Reduced PDH (dec glycolytic rate it will then allow more FA entry to mitoch)

Inc beta oxidative enzymes

New cards
21

Why does reduced PDH benefit fat oxidation?

Decreased rate of glycolysis-→ allows for more lipids to enter mitoch for oxidation

New cards
22

When can adaptations for lipox be seen in skeletal muscle during a high fat diet?

3-5 days

New cards
23

What is a good diet strategy for someone preparing for a performance trial?

Periodizing their diet into blocks of high fat to get them fat adapted then High cho day or two before hand to increase muscle glycogen

Fat adapted AND muscle glycogen high

New cards
24

Higher fat oxidation resulted in a nonsignifianct __________ in TT performance following high fat adaptation + CHO restoration

8% improvement

Nonsignificant due to a large effect of outliers on data

New cards
25

Why may a high fat diet adaptation decrease efficiency/economy?

Fat gets less “MPG”

4.7 kcal/LO2 vs 5.05 kcal/LO2

New cards
26

What is the reason that acute nutritional manipulations to increase lipox dont work?

Limited by digestion and mitochondrial entry

New cards
27

High fat diets can induce favorable changes in protein expression to promote lipox. What is an important consideration of this kind of tactic?

May reduce endogenous CHO

Important to replenish glycogen before race to get best of both worlds

New cards
28

In elite racewalkers, what was the effect of a LCHF diet on 10km race walk performance?

How many treatment groups were in the racewalker study? What were they?

LCHF

High CHO

Periodized CHO

Important to note isocaloric

New cards
31

in the racewalker study, what happened to RER in the LCHF group?

Decreased, indicating a shift towards whole body lipox

New cards
32

in the racewalker study, there was a improved aerobic capacity across all groups, LCHF saw an increase in lipox, what does this mean for economy and performance?
