Soc18: Aerobic,Anaerobic Exercise And Energy Sources Flashcards
Glucose
a major source of
energy for most cells in the body.
Aerobic respiration
the process
of releasing energy from glucose,
using oxygen.
Anaeronic respiration
the
process of releasing energy from
glucose, without oxygen.
Aeronic 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.
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 muscle, usually
caused by fatigue.
Anaerobic exercise
Working at a high intensity where we dont use oxygen sprinting for an example
Fats
a rich source of energy, but
many modern diets provide more
than our bodies need.
Carbohydrates
the body’s main
source of energy.
Free sugars
extra sugar added
to food and drink.
