Short Term Effects Of Exercise On Muscular System Flashcards
1
Q
What happens when your muscles release extra energy for movement?
A
It generates heat which increases muscle temperature
2
Q
What do muscles produce in anaerobic activity?
A
Lactic acid
3
Q
What happens if you anaerobically exercise for too long?
A
There is lactate accumulation, which is painful and causes muscle fatigue
4
Q
What do muscles need to recover from a build up of lactic acid?
A
They need oxygen to remove the lactic acid and recover (oxygen debt)
5
Q
How do you repay oxygen debt?
A
You need to slow down or stop the activity, which can negatively impact your performance
6
