aerobic and anaerobic exercise Flashcards
1
Q
define aerobic respiration
A
The aerobic respiratory system is responsible for producing the majority of our energy while our bodies are at rest
Glucose + oxygen → energy + water + carbon dioxide
2
Q
define anaerobic respiration
A
anaerobic respiratory system breaks down glucose into lactic acid. It produces energy very quickly.
Glucose → energy + lactic acid
3
Q
what is oxygen debt and epoc
A
The anaerobic systems require oxygen to restore them which is called an oxygen debt or EPOC - excess post exercise oxygen consumption
4
Q
what does breathing rapidly and deeper do after exercise
A
reduce temp
breaks downs lactic acid
maintains heart rate and breathing temp
