give examples of athletes who used performance enhancing drugs and ruined their reputation
- Lance Armstrong - used blood doping
- Justin Gatlin
what are anabolic steroids ?
drugs that help rapidly increase strength and recovery from high intensity movements. They are typically used as a training drug.
give disadvantages of anabolic steriods
- cause severe mood swings
- when used in large quantities could cause heart disease
- in males could shrink testicles - testicular atrophy
- in females causes increase in body and facial hair
what are Erythropoietin (EPO)/ peptide hormones ?
natural hormones that causes the body to create more red blood cells, endurance athletes use these illegal supplements to boost their cardiovascular fitness, it is very difficult to detect in tests
what is are the disadvantages of EPO ?
- increases blood pressure
- reduces bodies natural capacity to make EPO
what is blood doping ?
removing then re-transfusing blood a few weeks later after the lost red blood cells have been replaced, it enhances cardiovascular fitness in short term
what are the disadvantages of blood doping ?
- risk of infections
- risk of illnesses
- increased potential for a heart attack
- could cause a blockage of a blood vessel

where does respiration take place ?
in the mitochondria
what is anaerobic respiration ?
respiration without oxygen
what is glucose converted into during anaerobic respiration ?
lactic acid
what is a respiratory substrate ?
a substance broken down by respiration to release energy
what is the respiratory substrate in aerobic respiration ?
glucose - which is oxidised to release energy
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration ?
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy released
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration ?
glucose = lactic acid
what kind of exercise is aerobic respiration used for ?
low intensity for long periods of time- jogging & cycling
what is anaerobic respiration useful for in sport ?
it supplies energy very quickly, where activity only lasts a few seconds - vaulting in gymnastics & javelin
