Soc 18- Aribic And Anaerobic And Energy Systems Flashcards
Glucose
A major source of energy for most cells in the body
Arobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose using oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
The process of releasing energy from glucose without oxygen
Aerobic exercise
Working out a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period
Anaerobic exercise
Anaerobic activites are usually short bu intense e.g sprinting,weight lifting and jumping
Lactic acid
A colourless acid produced in muscle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity
Cramp
Painful,involuntary contraction of a muscke usually cause by fatigue
Formula for anerboic exercise
Glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide and water and energy
What are carbohydrates used for in energy sources?
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for both high-intensity
(anaerobic) exercise and moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise
What are are fats used for in energy sources
Fats can provide energy for only moderate-intensity (aerobic) exercise
for long periods over 2 hours
What are fats needed for
-provide most of your body’s energy
-fats broken down into fatty acids-absorbed by blood and delivered into cells
-fatty acids not needed stored in fat cells
-butter,margarine and cooking oils
-daily intake nore more than 30% of total diet
What are carbohydrates needed for
-body cells use carbohydrates more easily than fats
-can be stored in small amounts-tends to use them first for energy
-carbohydrate borken into glucose or glycogen-abrobed through walls of small intestine into blood
-glucose into blood,transported to liver,circulated around body
-too much glucose for body will be stored in liver ready to be distributed if your glucose levels get low
-can be stored in fat for long term storage
Example of complex carbohydrates
for example starch are found in natural foods
such as brown rice, wholemeal bread and wholemeal pasta
What are complex carbohydrates
Foods of this type help to provide slow releasing and long lasting energy for
exercise and should form about half of your daily intake
Examples of simple carboydrates
are stored in their natural form in fruit and
vegetables, and in their refined form in biscuits, cakes and chocolates.
