34 X Class Respiration - The energy releasing system |
When you sprint a hundred yards, you do a considerable |
amount of muscular work. But you do not start a race by |
standing on the track and panting for a few minutes to stoke up |

extra breathing. The fastest sprinters do not breathe at all when |

running a hundred yards. After you have reached the destiny, |
however, you feel very different. Depending on your state of |
training, and on how hard you ran, you will pant for some |
minutes after the race, until your breathing gradually returns |
to normal. |

These facts could be linked up with what we have learned fig-11: Athlete |
so far about ATP. It might be that the race was run on the energy (Strenous excercise) |
produced when the ATP already present in your muscles was being converted |
to ADP. Unfortunately this pleasantly simple idea is inadequate, because |
we only carry sufficient ATP in a muscle to last for about half a second |

when doing vigorous exercise. There must be some other explanation for |
the way in which we can produce energy first and then use up oxygen later. |
One approach in the study of this problem was to analyze the blood of |
a person during and after exercise. For obvious reasons the athlete taking |
part in the experiment had to stay still where the apparatus was. He pedaled |

a stationary bicycle, or ran on a tread mill (belt moving as fast backwards |
as the athlete moved forwards). Some results are shown in the graph. |
Vigorous exercise lasted for nine minutes (shown by the bar at the base of |
the diagram) and regular blood samples were taken and analyzed. One |
particular compound in the |
