Outline
Pyruvate metabolism during low-moderate intensity and high intensity
Thesis statement: Pyruvate is a product formed in a process known as glycolysis
involving breakdown of the glucose molecule. Increasing the intensity of the glucose
demand is high as the rate of glucose uptake in muscles increases by 30 to 50 folds in
comparison to a resting rate.
⚫
The primary fuel of energy in the body is glucose.
⚫
Pyruvate is a product formed in a process known as glycolysis involving
breakdown of the glucose molecule.
⚫
Glycolysis is a vital metabolic pathway in the production of energy for cells.
Pyruvate fate is dependable on various factors affecting oxygen availability, the
energy requirements, and the availability of mitochondria.
⚫
In oxygen availability, pyruvate undergoes oxidative phosphorylation. In oxygendeprived tissues, anaerobic glycolysis occurs.
⚫
In moderate-intensity exercise, aerobic metabolic takes place. The continuing
intensity in the duration ATP needs to be resynthesized, and glycolysis combines
with the phosphagen system to increase the amount of ATP as alone anaerobic
glycolysis produces a small amount of energy.
