2 Skeletal Muscle Metabolism How do muscles use energy?

3 WHAT IS Chemical compound used to trap energy from food

4 ATP Mitochondria in muscle convert glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids into ATP ATP is used by the cell for any process that requires energy (such as muscle contraction) The amount of oxygen available to the muscle cells determines the amount of ATP that can be produced

5 ATP P Ribose Adenine 3 Phosphate groups PP

6 ATP P Ribose Adenine 3 Phosphate groups PP ENERGY stored in bonds

7 ATP PPP ADPADP ENERGY RELEASED P ATP

8 Sources of ATP (times approximate) Stored ATP from processes below (4-6 seconds worth) Creatine Phosphate (10 seconds) Glycogen (stored carbohydrates in liver and muscle) or glucose in blood are used for glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation (30-40 second bursts) Glycogen, glucose, fatty acids are used in aerobic respiration (lasts for hours)

9 Glucose from glycogen in muscle and liver Glycolysis No O 2 O 2

10 Summary: With or Without Oxygen? Without oxygen (anaerobic) Glycolysis (splitting of glucose) follow by fermentation of lactic acid) ATP produced quickly Fewer ATP are generated Duration: 30-60 seconds With Oxygen (aerobic) cellular respiration using glucose, fatty acids, or amino acids (preceded by glycolysis) ATP produced slowly More ATP generated Duration: hours

11 Muscle Fiber Types Slow-oxidative - endurance activities (jogging) (smallest diameter) Fast - oxidative - short term activities requiring bursts of energy (sprinting, basketball, soccer, etc.) Fast-glycolytic - short intense movements where force production is maximal (lifting heavy weight, jumping, throwing) (largest diameter)

12 All muscles are a mix of different fiber types Genetics determine the percentage of different fiber types in different muscle

13 Fatigue and Oxygen Debt Occurs when ATP demand is faster than production (when O 2 supply is limited) Lactic acid “burn” limits usefulness of ATP Oxygen Debt - the amount of O 2 that must be taken in to restore the muscles’ resting conditions (ATP regeneration, glycogen replenishment, creatine phosphate restoration, lactate breakdown)

14 Muscle Fiber Ratios and Athletic Performance Which of the above athletes have a greater composition of fast twitch muscle fibers? How does this relate to athletic performance?

15 Hypertrophy - increase in the size of a muscle Micro-tears (of the myofilaments) create a stimulus for hypertrophy. Stressed fibers form more myofibrils, myofilaments (actin and myosin), and store more glycogen (fast-twitch more prone to growth)
