Aerobic And Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
Lactic acid
Waste product from anaerobic exercies
Major causes of fatigue
EPOC
Oxygen debt
Increased rate if oxygen intake following strenuous activity
Post exercise oxygen consumption
Immediate effects of exerices
During exercies
Heart beats faster
Heart will contract more powerfully
Breathing rate increases
Body temperature increases
Short term effects of exercies
Up to 36 hours after exercise
Experience fatigue
May feel dizzy, nausea
Cramps
DOMS
delayed onset muscle soreness
The pain and stiffness felt in the days following strenuous exercise
Caused by eccentric muscle contractions
Recovery process from vigorous exercise
Cool down
Rehydration
Ice baths
Massage
Cool down
Meant to help decrease body temperature and remove waste products
Rehydration
Process of replacing the fluids that are lost through exercise
Water, minerals, energy and carbs are all lost so need to be replaced
Ice baths
Immersion in cold water to speed up recovery from exercise
Massage
Rubbing and kneading of muscles and joints with hands
Long term affects of exercise
Months and years
Reduce body weight
Fitness may be developed
Improvement in muscular endurance
Muscles, tendons and ligaments get stronger
Increase in speed
Higher heart rate
Hypertrophy
Increase of size of muscle/ heart due to long-term exercies
