Exercise (2) Flashcards
What happens when we exercise vigorously?
Our muscles will respire aerobically and an anaerobically
What does the anaerobic respiration allow our muscles to have?
Some energy to keep contracting
But what is also produced from this anaerobic respiration?
Latic acid
So how long can we respire for?
We can only respire anaerobically for a short time, otherwise we get cramp
What is the equation for ‘Cardiac Output’?
Cardiac= stroke X heart rate
What happens during exercise?
Our heart rate increases so our cardiac output increases as well
What does this mean during exercise?
This means MORE glucose and oxygen can get to our muscles for aerobic respiration
What would happen if our heart cannot transport oxygen fast enough?
Our muscles have to anaerobic respiration
Define ‘Consumption’
The extra oxygen my body needs to take in and circulate around my body to remove the Latic acid
