Chapter 15 Flashcards
Movement resulting from contraction of skeletal muscles
physical activity
Physical activities that are usually planned and structured for a purpose
excercise
ability to perform moderate to vigorous intensity activities without becoming excessively fatigued
physical fitness
minimum activity recommendation and percent of american adults who meet it
150 min per week
fewer than 50% of adults
various environmental factors contribute to if an individual meets the activity requirement
location
safety of neighborhood
ability to walk to destinations
availability of parks, trails, fitness centers
human made resources, including buildings, roads, parks, supermarkets, restaurants, within a community
built environment
adults above 65 activity requirement
a. 150 min per week or 75 vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity
b. muscle strengthening at least 2 days
how to determine the intensity of exercise
breathing rate
sweat production
heart rate
age related maximum heart rate
220- age
target heart rate zone
50 to 70% of an individuals age related max heart rate
Measuring heart rate
caratid artery or radial artery
count pulse for 10 seconds, multiply by 6 to determine heart rater for one min.
when muscle strengthening, how many excersises should you perform.
8 to 10
fuel for intense brief excercise
carbohydrates
fuel for longer less intense activity
uses more fat because lungs can supply them with enough oxygen
muscle cells rely on three major systems to obtain energy
PCr-ATP system
Lactic acid system
oxygen system
why dont PCR-ATP and lactic acid system need oxygen to make ATP
they metabolize glucose
PCr-ATP energy system
high energy compound used to reform ATP
muscle cells dont make or store much PCr, so it is useful for short, high intensity activity
lactic acid energy system
Muscle cells metabolize glucose to generate more ATP
more than a few seconds of activity (up to 180 seconds)
where does the excess lactate go in the lactic acid system
cori cycle in liver converts it to glucose, which returns to muscles thru bloodstream
oxygen energy system
metabolize glucose completely to CO2 and H2O
18 times more ATP with oxygen
ATP ?
all types of excercise
PCr ?
all excercise initially, short bursts
high jump, bench press
carbohydrate anaerobic ?
30 sec to 2 min
high intensity
200 yd sprint
carbohydrate aerobic ?
2 min to 3 hrs or more
high intensity
swimming, jogging
fat ?
at rest
low to moderate intensity activities lasting more than a few min
30 min brisk walk
