AEROBIC VERSUS ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
AEROBIC VERSUS ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
ENERGY SOURCES FOR EXERCISE –
- Reserve ATP in your muscles (a few seconds worth)
- ATP from aerobic respiration
- ATP from lactic acid fermentation
AEROBIC EXERCISE –
- Examples – jogging, x-country skiing, jumping rope
- Benefits – good for weight control,
improves cardiovascular and respiratory functions,
good for conditioning and endurance,
controls blood sugar levels
- Involves activities of long duration and of low to moderate intensity (person able to maintain aerobic respiration throughout activity)
- Energy released more slowly than during anaerobic exercise
- After 15-20 minutes of exercise, fats start to be metabolized for energy
ANAEROBIC EXERCISE –
- Examples – sprinting, heavy weightlifting, numerous push-ups,
most competitive events will have anaerobic moments
- Benefits – increases skeletal muscle mass and strength,
increases bone strength and density,
improves the ability to withstand fatigue,
boosts metabolism and oxygen capacity.
- Involves short, intense bursts of activity
- The intensity of activity prevents the heart and lungs from getting enough oxygen to the muscles
- Uses carbohydrates, such as glucose and glycogen
- Produces lactic acid – related to muscle soreness and fatigue (lowers pH which then interferes with enzyme activity and aggravates nerve endings)
- Produces “oxygen debt”
