exercise Flashcards
why do humans need energy?
for movement
what does respiration provide?
energy
during exercise, why does aerobic respiration increase?
because the body needs energy for muscle contraction
during exercise what happens to breathing rate and volume?
increases
why does the heart rate increase during exercise?
to pump oxygenated blood around the body
what happens when not enough oxygen is supplied to muscles?
anaerobic respiration takes place
during long periods of vigorous activity, what causes muscles to fatigue and stop contracting efficiently?
lactic acid
the body has to remove lactic acid, what do this create?
oxygen debt
when the lactic acid is transported out of muscles, where is it sent to, what is it converted to, and what is it stored as?
sent to the liver, converted to glucose, and stored as glycogen
what is the definition for oxygen debt?
amount of extra oxygen body needs after exercise to deal with lactic acid
