Anaerobic And Aerobic Exercise Flashcards
What does the anaerobic respiratory system do?
Supplies energy very quickly for sports such as vaulting in gymnastics or throwing a job the activity only last a few seconds
What is the equation for anaerobic exercise?
Glucose -> energy + lactic acid
What is EPOC?
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption
What happens in EPOC?
After taking part an exercise, a person continues to breathe more deeply and rapidly than when at rest to take in additional oxygen to repay this oxygen debt
What is the oxygen in Epoc used for?
To maintain higher resting breathing rate, heart rate and temperature, breakdown and oxidise lactic acid gradually reduce body temperature and remove excess carbon dioxide from the body
What is the aerobic respiratory system?
The system that is responsible for producing the majority of our energy while our bodies rest or taking part in low intensity exercise for long periods of time such as jogging or long distance cycling
What is the equation for aerobic exercise?
Glucose + oxygen -> energy + water + carbon dioxide
