Soc 18-Aerobic,Anaerobic Exercise And Energy Sources Flashcards
What is the equation for aerobic respiration
Glucose+Oxygen=Carbon dioxide+Water+ATP Energy
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration
Glucose=Energy+Lactic Acid
What are examples of anaerobic sports
100m sprint,javelin
Where do we get energy from
Simple and Complex carbohydrates,Lipids and Proteins
Why can you not do anaerobic exercise for very long
You can’t produce enough oxygen in order to break down lactic acid
What is glucose
Its a major source if energy for most cells in the body
What is aerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose with oxygen
What is anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose,without oxygen
What is aerobic exercise
Working at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period,e.g long-distance events
What is lactic acid
It’s a colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at a high intensity
What is cramp
A painful involuntary contraction of a muscle usually caused by fatigue
What is anaerobic exercise
Usually short but intense activities without oxygen
