Sports & Nutrition Flashcards
Respiration
glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + ATP
Aerobic vs Anaerobic
Aerobic is with air, while anaerobic is without air
Examples of aerobic & anaerobic
Aerobic- Walking, Golf & Archery
Anaerobic- Running, Swimming & Weightlifting
Aerobic equation
oxygen + glucose -> water & carbon dioxide
Anaerobic respiration
glucose -> lactic acid+ less energy
Circulatory system
Heart, Blood vessels & Lungs
Chambers of the heart
Left & Right atrium
Left & Right Ventricle
Formation
Atrium is on the top, ventricle on the bottom. Left & Right swapped because the way the heart is
Side of blood
Blood on the right is deoxygenated. Blood on the left is oxygenated
Arteries, veins & capillaries
Arteries- Elastic fibers and thick muscular walls
Veins- Thin muscular walls and less elastic fibers
Capillaries- 1 cell thick = short diffusion.
Control groups
The group that doesn’t have the independent variable used but everything else is the same
Reliability
Getting the same results multiple times
Validity
Fair test. All variables are constant except dv and iv
Accuracy
Correct equipment to get closest to the correct value
Precision
Measuring things in smaller intervals
