Energetics of Muscular Activity: Understanding ATP, Muscle Fatigue, and Metabolism

This article explores the energetics of muscular activity focusing on ATP production and utilization. Muscle fibers consist of billions of filaments, each requiring immense ATP for sustained contraction. The article details ATP and creatine phosphate reserves, cellular respiration processes, and various muscle activity levels leading to fatigue and recovery. It also examines the influence of hormones on muscle metabolism, underlining the importance of maintaining energy reserves and the biochemical reactions that enable muscle function.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Energetics of Muscular Activity AChui, Du, Fu, and Truszczynskiproduction

  2. Introduction • 1 muscle fiber = 15 billion filaments • 1 filament uses 2500 ATPs/second • Can’t store all necessary ATP • Resting fiber contains enough ATP to sustain contraction until more can be generated • ATP used at same rate as created

  3. Overview • ATP & CP reserves • ATP Generation (Cellular Respiration) • Muscle Activity • Muscle Fatigue • Muscle Recovery • Hormones & Muscle Metabolism

  4. ATP & CP Reserves • ATP + creatine  ADP + CP • Reverse reaction for use during contraction • Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) facilitator • Resting fibers contains 6 times as much CP as ATP • 17 second reserves • Table 10-2 Sources of Energy in Fiber

  5. ATP Generation • Glycolysis breaks down glucose to pyruvate in the_________ • Aerobic Metabolism occurs in ________

  6. Muscle Activity Figure 10-15 • Resting Skeletal Muscle • CP + build Glycogen reserves from fatty acids & glucose • Moderate Levels of Activity • All ATP is needed • Peak Levels of Activity (anaerobic) • Lactic Acid fermentation and Glycolysis • Drop pH, exhaustion CP + ATP

  7. Muscle Fatigue • Normal Functioning Requirements • Causes of Muscle Fatigue • ATP & CP • Lactic Acid (anaerobic conditions) • Types of Fatigue • ATP & CP • Lactic acid • Glycogen, aa, lipid reserves • Disorders

  8. Muscle Recovery Period • Lactic Acid Removal and Recycling (Liver & Muscles- Cori cycle) • Oxygen Debt (resp., circ., liver, muscles, secretory) • Heat Loss

  9. Hormones & Muscle Metabolism • Growth Hormone-pituitary • Testosterone • Stimulate synthesis contractile proteins & enlarge muscles • Thyroid Hormones • Elevate rate of energy consumption of muscles • Adrenal Hormones- Epinephrine/Adrenaline • Stimulate muscle metabolism, increase duration of stimulation & force contraction
