week 6 Flashcards
What is physical activity defined as?
any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that results in a substantial increase in caloric requirements over resting energy expenditure
What is physical fitness defined as?
a set of attributes that people possess or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical activity
name some health related components of fitness
cardiovascular endurance
muscle strength and endurance
flexibility
body composition
Define exercise
a type of exercise that is:
-planned
-structured
-repetitive
-done to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness
What is aerobic exercise?
Exercise designed to increase cardiovascular fitness
Sustained exercise that uses the aerobic pathways energy supply and training adaptations result in more efficient aerobic pathway
Name some sources of energy for exercise
ATP splitting
Creatine phosphate splitting
Anaerobic glycolysis
Aerobic metabolism
What is the equation for ATP splitting?
ATP -> ADP + Pi + energy + heat
What is the equation for creatine phosphate splitting?
CP + ADP -> C + ATP
What is the equation for anaerobic glycolysis?
G/G + Pi + ADP = H+ + lactate + ATP
What is the equation for aerobic metabolism?
carbohydrates/free fatty acids/protein + O2 + Pi + ADP= H2O + CO2 + ATP
What is VO2?
The volume of oxygen consumed per kg/minute
What is VO2 at rest?
300ml/min
What is VO2 with activity?
1000ml/min (walking briskly)
3000ml/min (running at 12 km/hour)
What is VO2 max?
when increase workload can only occur through anaerobic glycolysis
Thus it is the measure of an individuals aerobic capacity for activity
How does the respiratory system respond to exercise?
potential increase from 6L/min to 200L/min
an increase in tidal volume
an increase in respiratory rate
faster delivery of fresh air into lungs
improved diffusion
