Chapter 1 Flashcards
What are the long term effects of exercise
Mounts to years of training
- body change shape
- lower resting heart rate
- heart gets bigger
- bigger muscles
- better stamina
- improved components of fitness
What are the short term effects of exercise
24-48 hours after
- fatigued
- muscle cramps
- DOMS
- muscle ache
- nauseous
- light-headed/dizzy
What are the immediate effects of exercise
- increased heart rate
- increased body temperature
- faster breathing
- skin will redden
- sweat more
What is DOMS
Delayed onset muscle soreness
- pain you feel in your muscles the day after you exercise
Examples of anaerobic exercise
- sprinting - 100m,300m
- fast powerful muscular contractions - triple jump
What is EPOC/oxygen debt
Amount of oxygen needed to recover from exercise
What is lactic acid
- mild poison
- waste product of anaerobic exercise
Anaerobic exercise equation
Glucose —> energy + lactic acid
Examples of aerobic exercise
- long distance running
- endurance cycling
- long distance swimming
Where do you get the energy needed for aerobic exercise
Carbohydrates - glucose
- water
Respiration equation
Glucose + oxygen —> energy + O2 + CO2
What is aerobic respiration
Working at a low/moderate intensity so the body can use oxygen for a long period of time
What is anaerobic respiration
Working for a short period of time at a high intensity without oxygen
Cardiac output formula
Cardiac output = stroke volume x heart rate
Q = SV x HR
What is cardiac output
- volume of blood ejected by the heart in 1 minute
- increases with exercise
What is stroke volume
Volume of blood pumped out of the heart by each ventricle during one contraction
What is vasodilation
- widens the blood vessel interior diameter to increase the volume of blood travelling through it
- during exercise - more blood to active areas
What is vasoconstriction
- narrows the blood vessels interior diameter to reduce amount of blood travelling through it
- during exercise - less blood to inactive areas
What are the 4 chambers of the heart
- right ventricle
- left ventricle
- right atrium
- left atrium
What does blood carry
Nutrients - O2
Waste products - CO2
What is vital capacity
Largest volume fo air that can be forcibly expired after the deepest possible inspiration
