Soc 18- aerobic, anaerobic exercise amd energy sources Flashcards
Glucose
A major source of energy for most in the body
Anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen
Aerobic exercise
Working some model intensity, allowing the time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period
Arobic equation
Glucose+oxygen—carbon dioxide+warter+energy
Lactic acid
Coulorleess acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body exercising anaerobic out high intensity
Cramp:
Painful,involuntary contractions of a muscle usually caused by fatigue
What is fat
Fats can provide energy for only moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise
for long periods over 2 hours
What are carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for both high-intensity
(anaerobic) exercise and moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise
What are complex carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates for example starch are found in natural foods
such as brown rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pasta
• Foods of this type help to provide slow releasing and long lasting energy for
exercise and should form about half of your daily intake
What are simple carbohydrates
mple carbohydrates are stored in their natural form in fruit and
vegetables, and in their refined form in biscuits, cakes and chocolates.
• They provide a quick fix of of energy. For example, eating a banana at half time of a football match
What does energy come from
Energy comes from a range of different foods, including fats and
carbohydrates
What happens when you eat a fat
broken down into fatty acids, which are absorbed
into your blood and delivered to your cells
• Any fatty acids that are not needed straight away cbroken down into fatty acids, which are absorbed
into your blood and delivered to your cells
• Any fatty acids that are not needed straight away
Where are fats found
Fats are found in butter, margarine and cooking oils, as well as in foods
such as bacon, cheese, fish and nuts
• Your daily intake of fats should be no more than 30% of your total diet
What happens when you eat a carnohydrate
they are broken down into glucose or glycogen, which can
be absorbed through the walls of your small intestine and into the blood
• Glucose will pass into the blood, be transported to the liver and then circulated around the
body
Difference between fats and carbohydrates
Fats: a rich source of energy, but many modern diets provide more than our bodies need.
Carbohydrates: the body’s main source of energy.
