Cards

Term
[image]List 8 health benefits associated with regular participation in physical activity.
Definition
  • Lower risk of coronary heart disease,
  • lower risk of high blood pressure,
  • lower risk of Type 2 diabetes,
  • lower risk of breast cancer, reduced depression,
  • improved cardiorespiraratory & muscular fitness,
  • lower risk of colon cancer,
  • prevention of weight gain.
Term
How can interval training improve aerobic performance?
Definition

[image]Maximizes aerobic power and minimizes boredom.

Term
List 3 physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and state how or why improvements occurs.
Definition
1. Increased maximal blood flow - Performing aerobic exercise forces large volumes of blood which increases stroke volume.
2. Increased oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal - The cardiorespiratory system saturates blood coming from the lungs with oxygen efficiently. The high pulmonary ventilation assists with the removal of carbon dioxide during exercise.
3. Increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power - Regular aerobic exercise causes an increase in the number of capillaries per muscle fiber.
Term
Define energy and its food source.
Definition
 the ability to do work and the source of energy is the sun.
Term
Define ATP
Definition
[image]Adenosine Triphosphate ATP.
Compound that releases energy necessary. for muscular contraction.
1 mole ATP = 1/10 mile energy walk.
Term

[image]Energy Pathways

Definition
Anaerobic and Aerobic
Term
An anaerobic pathway consists of:
Definition

ATP-CP

Lactic acid system

Term
describe ATP-CP and give info about it
Definition

Fuel source = CHEMICAL creatine phosphate.
Intensity = very high.
Duration = very short 1 to15 seconds.
Activities = sprinting, jumping, throwing, kicking, lifting heavy weights.

Term
Describe the lactic acid system and give info about it
Definition
  • Fuel source = GLUCOSE carbohydrate only.
  • Intensity = high, moderate.
  • Duration = short, medium 45-90 seconds.
  • Activities = prolonged sprints, soccer, basketball, hockey, swimming, cycling.
Term
The Aerobic pathways also consist of
Definition

AEROBIC SYSTEM

  • Fuel source = Carbohydrates, fat, protein.
  • Intensity = moderate, low.
  • Duration = medium, very long 3-5 minutes
  • Activities = sitting, reading, studying, watching TV, internet surfing, sleeping, walking, biking, rowing, skating, distance running, aerobics.
Term
Define Aerobic
Definition
Aerobic is with oxygen or the presence of oxygen.
Term
Define Anaerobic
Definition
Anaerobic is without oxygen; usually w/short-spurt, high-energy activities
Term
What is the term for Steady State?
Definition
After first 3-4 minutes of exercise, oxygen uptake has reached an adequate level to meet oxygen demand of the tissues; heart rate, cardio output, and pulmonary ventilation have attained fairly constant levels.
Term
What is the term for Excess post-oxygen consumption EPOC
Definition
Oxygen debt referring to oxygen uptake remaining elevated above resting levels for several minutes during recovery.
