Cards

Term
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Definition
High Energy phosphate compound found in body; one of the major forms of energy availible for immediate release of energy.
Term
aerobic glycolysis
Definition
Oxidative processes in the cell that liberate energy in the metabolism of the carbohydrate glycogen.
Term
aerobic lipolysis
Definition
Oxidative processes in the cell that liberate energy in the metabolism of fats.
Term
anaerobic glycolysis
Definition
Metabolic processes in the cell taht liberate energy in the metabolism of the carbohydrate glycogen without the involvement of oxidation.
Term
ATP-PCr system
Definition
Energy system for fast, powerful muscle contractions. Uses ATP and then PCr quickly regenerates ATP.
Term
basal energy expenditure (BEE)
Definition
The BMR total energy expenditure over 24 hours.
Term
basal metabolic rate (BMR)
Definition
Measurement of energy expenditure in body under resting and postabsorptive conditions.
Term
calorie (kilocalorie)
Definition
Measure of heat energy.
Term
calorimeter
Definition
device used to measure caloric value of food.
Term
crossover concept
Definition
concept that as excercise intensity increases, at some point carb rather than fat becomes the predominant fuel for muscle cotraction.
Term
dietary induced thermogenesis (DIT)
Definition
Increase in the basal metabolic rate following the ingestion of a meal. Heat production is increased.
Term
electron transfer system
Definition
Highly structured array of chemical compounds in the cellthat transport electrons and harness energy for later use.
Term
energy
Definition
Ability to do work; energy exists in various forms, notable mechanical, heat, and chemical in the human body.
Term
ergometer
Definition
measures work output in watts or other measures of work
Term
estimated energy requirement (EER)
Definition
Daily dietary intake predicted to maintain energy balance for an individual
Term
exercise metabolic rate (EMR
Definition
Increased metabolic rate due to the need for increased energy production.
Term
glycolisis
Definition
Degradation of sugars into smaller compunds ; the main quanitative anareobic
Term
