Anaerobic And Aerobic Excercise Flashcards
Define anaerobic exercise…
Respiration without oxygen. Very high intensity.
Define aerobic exercise…
Respiration with oxygen. Working at low- moderate intensity.
Equation of aerobic excercise …….
Glucose + O2 = energy + C02+water
Equation of anaerobic excercise…
Anaerobic excercise = energy+lactic acid
What is the definition of EPOC?
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
Caused by anaerobic excercise and production of lactic acid.
Recovery process from vigorous excercise
Cool down— removes lactic acid
Rehydration
Carbs (protein)
Ice baths , massage
How to minimise need for recovery…
Warm up
Active cool down
Job back into position
What is DOMS
Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness
Prevented by good recovery
Immediate effects of excercise …
Hot/red/sweaty skin
Increased heart rate
Increased depth and frequency of breathing
Short term effects (up to 36 hours after exercise)
Tiredness/fatigue
Nausea
DOMS
Long term effects if excercise (months and years after)
Change in body shape
Improve speed
Improve muscle endurance and strength
