Soc 18 Aerobic,Anaerobic Exercises And Energy Sources Flashcards
Defenition of glucose?
a major source of energy for most cells in the body.
Defenition of lactic acid?
a colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity.
Defenition of cramp?
painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue.
Defenition of aerobic respiration?
the process of releasing energy from glucose, using oxygen.
Defenition of anaerobic respiration?
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.
Defenition of anaerobic exercise?
Activities are usually short but intense
Equation of aerobic exercise?
Glucose + Oxygen –> Carbon dioxide + water + energy
Equation of anaerobic exercise?
Glucose –> Energy + lactic acid
What are the 2 main energy sources?
Fats and carbohydrates
How do carbohydrates fuel our body?
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise
How do fats fuel our body?
Fats can provide energy for only aerobic exercise ( over 2 hours )
What are the two types of carbohydrates?
Simple and complex
Give an example of complex carbohydrates?
Wholemeal rice/bread
Give an example of simple carbohydrates?
Fruits/biscuits
What is complex carbohydrates?
Foods to help provide slow releasing and long lasting energy
