PENDAHULUAN METABOLISME
Carbohydrates
primary form is glucose
transported to muscle (and other tissues)
via blood
stored in liver and muscle as glycogen
ATP produced more quickly from CHO than
from fats or proteins
CHO stores can be depleted
S. Hudiyono "Pendahuluan Metabolisme"
Energy Systems: Fuels
Fats (triglycerides)
stored in adipose tissue and in muscle
muscle uses fatty acids for fuel
produce ATP more slowly than CHO
during rest, provides > the ATP, but little
during intense exercise
fat stores not depletable
Proteins
split into amino acids in gut, absorbed, and
transported by blood
1 role is providing building blocks for
metabolic functions and tissue building
provides 5-15% of fuel for ATP production
