Bioenergetics And Exercise Metabolism/ Fundamentals Of Biomechanics Flashcards
Excess post oxygen consumption (EPOC)
Elevation of metabolism after exercise
Torque
A force that produces rotation
1st class lever
Fulcrum in middle (nodding head)
Anaerobic threshold
Where the body can no longer produce enough energy with normal oxygen intake
3rd class level
Effort in the middle (bicep curl); most common in human limbs
Force
Influence applied by one to another, accelerates or decelerates the second object
Bioenergetics
Study of energy in the human body
Anaerobic
Without oxygen
Metabolism
Process in which nutrients are acquired, transported, used, and disposed of by the body
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Energy storage and transfer unit within cells
Oxidative system
Aerobic glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Electron transport chain
Long-term energy
2nd class lever
Resistance in middle (calf raise)
Lever
Rigid “bar” that rotated around a stationary fulcrum
Biomechanics
Science concerned with internal and external forces acting on the body
ATP-PC
Anaerobic
High intensity
Lasts 10-15 seconds
