Recover, Altitude And Heat (1.2) Flashcards
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption?
The volume of oxygen consumed post exercise to return the body to a pre exercise state
Oxygen deficit
Is the volume of oxygen that would be required to complete an activity entirely aerobically
Fast alactacid recovery
The initial fast stage of EPOC where oxygen consumed within three mins resaturates haemoglobin and myoglobin stores and provides energy for ATP and PC resynthesise
What is gluconeogenisi/glyconeogenesis
The formation of glucose/glycogen from saturates such as pyruvic acid
Barometric pressure?
The pressure exerted by the earths atmosphere at any given point
Partial pressure?
The pressure exerted by an individual gas held in a mixture of gases
Diffusion
The movement of a gas across a membrane down a gradient from an area of high pressure to a low pressure
What is acclimatisation?
A processs of gradual adaptation to change in environment e.g. Altitude
What is erythropoietin?
A naturally produced hormone responsible for the production of red blood cells
What is thermoregluation?
The process of maintaining internal core temperature
What are thermorereceptors?
A sensory receptor which sense a change in temperature and relay information to the brain
What is dehydration?
Loss of water in body tissues, largely caused by sweating
Hyperthermia?
Significantly raised body temp
Hypothermia?
Significantly lower body temp
What is cardiovascular drift?
Upward drift in HR during sustained steady state activity associated with an increase in body temp
