Soc 18- Aerobic, Anaerobic Exercise And Energy Systems

Question 1

Glucose

Answer 1

major source of energy for most cells in the body.

Question 2

Aerobic respiration

Answer 2

the process of releasing energy from glucose, using oxygen.

Question 3

Anaerobic respiration

Answer 3

the process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen,

Question 4

Aerobic exercise

Answer 4

at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period, eg. long-distance events,

Question 5

Lactic acid

Answer 5

colourless acid
produced in muscle tissues
during strenuous exercise
when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity.

Question 6

Cramp

Answer 6

painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue.

Question 7

Anaerobic exercise

Answer 7

anaerobic activities are usually short but intense e. na lifting weiahts and jumping.

Question 8

Glycogen

Answer 8

that serves as a primary form of stored glucose in out body

Question 9

Arrobic respiration equation

Answer 9

Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Question 10

Anaerobic respiration equation

Answer 10

Glucose -> Energy + Lactic acid

Question 11

What foods does energy come from

Answer 11

Energy comes from a range of different foods, including fats and carbohydrates

Question 12

Carbohydrates

Answer 12

the main energy source for both high-intensity
(anaerobic) exercise and moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise

Question 13

Fats

Answer 13

provide energy for only moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise
for long periods over 2 hours

Question 14

Fats characteristics

Answer 14

Fats usually provide most of the body’s energy needs
• When you eat fat it is 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 can be stored in fat cells
• 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

Question 15

Carbohydrates characteristics

Answer 15

Your body’s cells uses carbohydrates more easily than fat

• Carbohydrates can only be stored in small amounts - enough to last a day or two - so
your body tends to use them first for energy

• When you eat carbohydrates, 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

• Once your cells have used as much glucose as they need, some of the excess is stored in
the liver, ready to be distributed if your blood glucose levels get too low.

• The rest can be turned into fat for long term storage

Question 16

Complex carbohydrates

Answer 16

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

Question 17

Simple carbohydrates

Answer 17

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
