exercise (aerobic, effects..) Flashcards
What does anaerobic mean?
exercise not in the presence of oxygen
high level intensity
glucose isn’t fully broken down
glucose changed to lactic acid
equation for anaerobic exercise?
glucose → lactic acid + energy
What is aerobic exercise?
exercise in the presence of oxygen
low/ moderate intensity
equation for aerobic exercise?
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy
What is Lactic Acid?
waste product of anaerobic exercise
causes fatigue
slow down or stop performer
aerobic target zone
60-80%
max Hr * 0.6 = x
max HR * 0.8 = y
x:y
anaerobic target zone?
80-90%
max hr * 0.8 = y
max hr * 0.9 = z
y:z
What does EPOC stand for?
Excessive
Post exercise
Oxygen
Consumption
What does EPOC mean?
increase rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity
how to recover from vigorous exercise?
.cool down
.ice bath
.massage
.rehydration
What is a cool down?
5-10 min jog
to decrease body temp
remove LA
5-10 min static stretches
benefits of cool down?
clear waste products
decrease chance of DOMS
decrease chance of dizziness
slow down breathing rate
What are massages used for?
rubbing or kneading muscles
reduces pain
prevents DOMS
encourages blood flow
decrease swelling
prevent blood pooling
rid of LA
What is rehydration?
hydrate every hour
1.5L of water a day
carbs and glucose for energy
immediate effects of exercise?
.HR increased
.Body temp increased
.Breathing rate increased
short term effects of exercise? 24-36 hours
.DOMS
.nausea
.dizziness/faintness
.fatigue/tiredness
long term effects of exercise? months-years
.low resting heat rate
.COF improve
.Stroke volume increases
.cardiac output stays the same
.muscle hypertrophy
.lose weight
.cardiac hypertrophy
what is altitude training?
aerobic training which develops your cardiovascular endurance
what happens during altitude training?
.Less O2
.EPO released
.increase red blood cell
.increase oxygen carrying capacity
.so you can exercise for longer
limitations of altitude training?
expensive
loss of overall fitness
altitude sickness
benefits are only short term
