One that acts on your living body and therefore effects you physically
2
Q
Name some physical effects age has on the body
A
- Flexibility decreases
- Oxygen carrying capacity decreases
- Reaction time decreases

Q
How does pollution effect participation
A
Severe air pollution is a serous health risk so sport must be played indoors
17
Q
How does altitude effect participation
A
If you regularly train at a high altitude, it will increase your oxygen carrying capacity. However some will find it harder to breathe, their immune systems will weaken and blood can become thicker, slowing blood flow
18
Q
How does Humidity effect participation
A
It can result in dehydration and over heating/heat stroke
19
Q
How does location affect participation
A
If a facility is in a rural area less people will access it because there’s less transport routes, people won’t have heard of it and there’s public transport so you’d have to take your own car which you will have to attend to
20
Q
How does terrain effect participation
A
Some terrain may be hard o access but suitable for activities such as cycling and skiing
21
Q
Name a challenging activity and state why it’s challenging

40
What's aerobic exercise and what's it's equation
Low intensity work over a long period of time with the presence of oxygen.

41
What's anaerobic exercise and what's the equation
High intensity work over a short period of time with a lack of oxygen
Glucose --> energy +Lactic acid
42

- to transport oxygen, glucose and waste products around the body
- to assist in body temperature control
- platelets clot blood
- white blood cells fight disease (pathogens)
43
Explain oxygen debt
During anaerobic exercise the body runs out of sufficient oxygen supplies so lactic acid builds up in working muscles. During recovery oxygen is repaid to the body by breathing deeply and heavily
44
Explain the recovery process
These things happen:
- you breathe lots
- perspiration occurs as a form as temperature control
- an effective cool down also removes lactic acid as well as peeing it out
45

47
Describe the way the heart works
1. Blood enters the right atrium
2. The right atrium pumps blood into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve
3. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where oxygen is picked up and CO2 is deposited
4. The oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary vein
5. The left atrium pumps the blood into the left ventricle and the blood then leaves here through the aorta to go to the res of the body
48
Describe the properties of the arteries
These have thick walls and carry oxygenated blood at high pressures away from the heart. They have no valves and their walls are more elastic than the walls of veins
49
Describe the properties of veins
These carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. They have thinner, less elastic walls than arteries. Veins have valves to ensure the blood doesn't flow backwards as it's under a low pressure
50
Describe the properties of Capillaries
These are microscopic blood vessels which allow carbon dioxide, oxygen and waste products to diffuse through the thin walls
