Bioenergetic provision of energy for muscular activity

Wells, Greg D., Selvadurai, Hiran, Tein, Ingrid·2009·Paediatric Respiratory Reviews

Abstract

A complex series of metabolic pathways are present in human muscle that break down substrates from nutritional sources to produce energy for different types of muscular activity. However, depending on the activity in which an individual is engaged, the body will make use of different energy systems that have been adapted for the particular activity. More specifically, utilization of bioenergetic substrates depends on the type, intensity, and duration of the exercise. The aerobic oxidative system is used for longer duration activities of low to moderate intensity, the anaerobic glycolytic system is used for short to moderate duration activities of higher intensity, and the high energy phosphagen system is used for short duration activities of high intensity. The efficiency and effectiveness of these pathways can be enhanced through physical activity and training. It is these bioenergetic pathways that are the focus of this review.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Carbohydrates, fat and protein supply the energy requirements for the human body, enabling the resynthesis of ATP.

    “Whether directly (daily feeding) or indirectly (endogenous stores), carbohydrates, fat and protein supply the energy requirements for the human body enabling the resynthesis of ATP [26,27].”
  • AMP or ADP are accumulated when ATP is depleted; signals that ATP is required result in an active glycolytic pathway.

    “On the other hand, AMP or ADP are accumulated when ATP is depleted; signals that ATP is required result in an active glycolytic pathway [27].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
