What is the formula for Aerobic Respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + water + energy
What is the formula for Anaerobic respiration?
Glucose -> energy + lactic acid
What is Glucose?
A major source of enegy for most cells in the body
What is Aerobic respiration?
The process of releasing enrgy from glucose, without oxygen
What is anaerobic respiration?
The process of releasing energy from glucose, without oxygen
What is Aerobic exercise?
Working at a moderate intensity allowing the body time to utilise oxygen for energy production and to work for a continuous period, e.g. long-distance events
What is lactic acid?
A colourless acid produced in mucle tissues during strenuous exercise when the body is exercising anaerobically at high intensity
What is a cramp?
Painful, involuntary contraction of a muscle, usually caused by fatigue
What are fats?
A rich source of enrgy, but many modern diets provide more than our bodies need
What are carbohydrates?
The body’s main source of energy for high intensity exercise
What are free sugars?
Extra sugar added to food and drink
Short term effects on the muscle
Muscle fatigue
What is a short term effect on the heart?
Your heart rate increases
What is a short term effect on your breathing?
You use up more oxygen than you take in
What is a short term effect on your breathing
You use up more oxygen than you take in
Lever
A system of muscles and bones working together to help you move
When you exrcise, your muscles pull on your bones, and your bones create movement acting as levers
Axis
An imaginary straight line around which the lever rotates
Fulcrum
The point around which the lever rotates
Load
The force that is applied by the lever system
Effort
The force that is applied by the user of the lever system
Three different classes of levers
First, second and third class
What does saggital plane (flexion and extension) = with an example?
Front axis (flexion and extension) e.g. front somersault
What does frontal plane (abduction and adduction) = with example
Saggital axis (abduction and adduction) e.g. cartwheel
What are the characteristics of a front and back or piked somersault?
You move forward, with your left and right sides moving together in the same direction - in the sagittal plane
Your body bends on a line that runs horizontally from side to side - around your frontal axis
Jumped somersaults are similar. Front back somersaults are whole - body movements in the sagittal plane, around the frontal axis
