Answer 2

exercise without oxygen being sent to the working muscles e.g. 100m sprint

Question 3

What is the equation for aerobic respiration?

Glucose + Oxygen → Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water

Question 4

What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?

Answer 4

Glucose → Energy + Lactic Acid.

Question 5

Why is lactic acid produced in anaerobic exercise?

Answer 5

Lactic acid is a waste product from anaerobic respiration

Question 6

What is oxygen debt (EPOC)?

Answer 6

Oxygen debt, also known as EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption), is a temporary oxygen shortage in the body

Question 7

How long can oxygen debt last?

Answer 7

can be several hours but depends on intensity and duration of exercise

What does a cool down involve?

Answer 13

A cool down should consist of walking or jogging followed by static stretching.

Question 14

What is the purpose of an ice bath after exercise?

Ice baths reduce swelling, constrict blood vessels and flush out lactic acid

Question 17
