Lactic acid and Anaerobic glycolysis Flashcards
(7 cards)
1
Q
What is it?
A
Breaks down to lactate and hydrogen ions (h+) very quickly with insufficient oxygen (Anaerobic)
Using to much oxygen so you cant break down lactate causing fatigue
2
Q
Hydrogen ions (h+)
A
Results in an increase in the acidity within the muscles
Changes in Ph
3
Q
Anaerobic glycolysis energy system
A
Metabolic by product accumulation relies on active recovery- Light activity at a low intensity for 5-10 minutes
Allows-Increased blood flow to working muscles
4
Q
By products of Glycolysis
A
Lactate and H + ions
5
Q
Fuel source
A
Glycogen
6
Q
Intensity of exercise
A
85-95%
7
Q
Lactic acid
A
-impaired isometric muscle contraction force
-Impaired isometric muscle velocity force
-Is used as a cheaper measure of hydrogen ions
