Anatomy And Physiology 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Describe aerobic respiration
A
- Producing energy in the presence of oxygen at a lower intensity for a longer period of time
- 60-80% of maximal heart rate is your Aerobic training zone
2
Q
Describe anaerobic respiration
A
- Producing energy with the absence of oxygen at a high intensity for a short period of time
- 80-90% of maximal heart rate is your Anaerobic training zone
3
Q
What is the equation for aerobic respiration?
A
Glucose + oxygen —> energy + water + carbon dioxide
4
Q
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
A
Glucose —> lactic acid + energy
5
Q
What does EPOC stand for?
A
- Excess
- Post exercise
- Oxygen
- Consumption
6
Q
What type of exercise causes EPOC?
A
Anaerobic exercise which causes a build up of lactic acid
7
Q
Definition of EPOC
A
Increased rate of Oxygen in take following strenuous activity
8
Q
What happens to our body when lactic acid is produced from exercise?
A
- Fatigues
- Aches
- Tires
9
Q
Function of EPOC
A
Repay the oxygen debt and remove lactic acid
10
Q
What are some immediate effects of exercise?
A
- Red skin
- Hot
- Sweaty
- Increased heart rate
- Increase in depth and frequency of breathing
11
Q
What are some short term effects of exercise?
A
- Tiredness and fatigue
- Light headedness
- Nausea (sick feeling)
- Aching muscles/DOMS and sometimes muscle cramps
12
Q
What are some long term effects of exercise?
A
- Increase hypertrophy
- Improve speed
- Improve stamina
- Improve suppleness
- Build cardiovascular endurance
- Build muscle strength
- Improve muscle endurance
- Body shape may change
- Improvement in specific components of fitness
- Decreased resting heart rate (bradycardia)
