Mg- Energy Systems Key Terms Flashcards
Energy continuum
A term which describes the type of respiration used by physical activities. Whether it’s aerobic or anaerobic depends on intensity and duration
Submaximal oxygen deficit
Where there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy anaerobically
Epoc
Amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which would have been consumed at rest during the same time
indirect calorimetry
the role of technology in physical activity and sport, with the emphasis on testing and recording. Its a technique that provides an accurate measure of of energy expenditure through gas exchange. Allows us to find out the main substrate being used (fat/carbs).
What is RER
A method of determining which metabolic fuel is predominantly in use
how is RER calculated
by analysing oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production
