Anaerobic & Aerobic

    Cards (16)

    • What is one reason for Rosie’s deep breathing after intensive exercise?
      To allow oxygen stores to be replenished
    • What does EPOC stand for in the context of exercise?
      Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption
    • What is the definition of aerobic respiration?
      Respiration in the presence of oxygen
    • What is the equation for aerobic respiration?
      Glucose + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water
    • What type of activities require aerobic respiration?
      Activities that need long-term energy systems
    • What is the definition of anaerobic respiration?
      Respiration in the absence of oxygen
    • What is the equation for anaerobic respiration?
      Glucoseenergy + lactic acid
    • What type of activities require anaerobic respiration?
      Activities that need short-term energy systems
    • Why is the 400m considered an anaerobic event?
      Because it is a sprint event with maximal intensity and low duration
    • What happens to oxygen availability during a 400m sprint?
      Insufficient oxygen is available to work aerobically
    • What does the body use for energy during anaerobic exercise?
      Glucose → energy + lactic acid
    • How is maximum heart rate calculated?
      220 bpm minus age
    • What is the maximum heart rate formula?
      220 – age
    • What are the key points regarding EPOC and Rosie’s breathing after intensive exercise?
      • Continue to breathe deeply/quickly
      • Maintain increased breathing rate
      • Related to replenishing oxygen stores
      • Removing lactic acid from the body
    • What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
      Aerobic:
      • Requires oxygen
      • Produces energy, carbon dioxide, and water

      Anaerobic:
      • Occurs without oxygen
      • Produces energy and lactic acid
    • What are the characteristics of activities that require aerobic vs anaerobic respiration?
      Aerobic:
      • Long duration
      • Low to moderate intensity (e.g., cross country running)

      Anaerobic:
      • Short duration
      • High intensity (e.g., 100m sprinting)
