Exercise and Heart Rate Flashcards
How do you calculate maximum heart rate?
To calculate maximum heart rate, take your age away from 220
Why does our heart rate increase during exercise?
Our heart rate increases during exercise because our heart is working to get blood into the muscles to provide them with nutrients and oxygen
What happens to waste products during increased
heart rate?
Increased heart rate allows waste products to be removed
What is the formula for respiration?
Respiration = Glucose + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide + Water
What is the formula for anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration = Lactic acid + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide + Water
What is the formula for aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration = Glucose + Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
Why does a person’s breathing rate not increase back to normal straight away after exercise?
A person’s breathing rate does not increase back to normal straight away after exercises because the body requires lots of oxygen to convert lactic acid into glucose and glycogen
What is metabolism?
Metabolism is the chemical processes in our body
