4th form aerobic and anaerobic exercise Flashcards
1
Q
describe aerobic exercise
A
- uses oxygen for energy consumption
- includes activities that are of a long duration
- includes activities that are of moderate intensity
- the heart and lungs can supply all the blood and oxygen to the working muscles to produce energy aerobically
2
Q
what type of activity is aerobic respiration
A
- long duration
- moderate intensity
3
Q
examples of aerobic sports and activities
A
long distance cycling
marathon running
triathlon
long distance rowing
4
Q
aerobic respiration equation
A
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + heat + energy
5
Q
describe anaerobic exercise
A
- does not use oxygen for energy production
- include activities that are of a short duration
- includes activities that are of a high intensity
- the heart and lungs cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles fast enough to use so energy is produced aerobically
6
Q
what type of activity is anaerobic respiration
A
- short duration
- high intensity
7
Q
examples of anaerobic sports and activities
A
shot put
sprinting
weight lifting
long jump
8
Q
anaerobic respiration equation
A
glucose –> lactic acid + energy
9
Q
what does lactic acid do
A
causes muscles to become tired and work less efficient
