1C Anaerobic and Aerobic Exercise Flashcards
Distinguish between Aerobic and Anaerobic exercise
Aerobic - producing energy when using oxygen
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbondioxide + Water + Energy
Anaerobic - Producing energy without oxygen
Glucose = Lactic acid + energy
What is Lactic acid
Waste product of anaerobic exercise which causes fatigue
What does EPOC stand for and what is it’s function?
Excess Post Oxygen Consumption.
Function is to remove lactic acid
What is EPOC?
Extra oxygen that is required after exercise to keep the HR, breathing rate and temperature elevated in order to remove CO2 and break down the lactic acid to CO2 and H2O.
What are the immediate effects of exercise on the body?
Heart Rate Increases Stroke volume increases Breathing rate increases Your Body Temperature increases You start to sweat You go red
Explain the causes of Fatigue?
Build up of lactic acid, excess fluids
Explain the cause of DOMS and what it is?
TIny tears in muscle causing release in fluids which causes you to have sore/painful muscles.
What are the short term effects of exercise?
Tiredness/Fatigue
Muscle soreness, DOMS
Nausea/light headedness
Cramp.
What should be included in a rehydration drink?
Water, minerals, carbohydrates
How do Ice baths help to prevent DOMS?
Flush out waste/lactic acid, reduce swelling
What are the benefits of a cool down?
Slowly reduce heart rate and breathing rate, relaxes muscles, removes lactic acid
Identify two parts of an effective cooldown?
Jogging/walking/easy movements
Static stretching
Name four fitness components improved by Long term exercise?
Stamina
Muscular Endurance
Speed
Flexibility
Suggest some long term effects of exercise.
Change in body Shape Increased stroke volume Hypertrophy Reduced Resting Heart rate Bradycardia
