GCSE PE Applied Anatomy and Physiology

What is the natural hormone released to speed heart rate up?

• Adrenaline

• Insulin

• Thyroxine

• Glucagon

What does 'aerobic' mean in the context of exercise?

• With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need.

• Without oxygen. When exercise is very fast and the heart cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles.

• A type of exercise that only uses strength and no endurance.

• Exercise that only involves stretching and flexibility.

Summarise the aerobic respiration equation: glucose + oxygen → ______ + carbon dioxide + water.

• energy

• chlorophyll

• starch

• alcohol

What is the aerobic training zone?

• The aerobic training zone allows the aerobic system to be trained. To define aerobic training zone: 1. Calculate maximum heart rate (220 bpm) minus age: 220-age 2. Work at 60-80% of maximum heart rate.

• The aerobic training zone is when you work at 90-100% of your maximum heart rate.

• The aerobic training zone is only used for strength training, not cardiovascular fitness.

• The aerobic training zone is defined as working below 40% of your maximum heart rate.

What is the muscle or group responsible for the movement called?

• Agonist (prime mover)

• Antagonist

• Synergist

• Fixator

What is an altitude?

• A geographical area (of land) which is over 2,000 m above sea level.

• A type of weather phenomenon.

• A measurement of temperature.

• A type of soil found in deserts.

What is traditional altitude training?

• Training at altitude where there is less oxygen. The body adapts by making more red blood cells to carry oxygen. The additional oxygen carrying red blood cells is an advantage for endurance athletes returning to sea level to compete.

• Training at sea level with increased oxygen supply to boost muscle growth.

• Training in high humidity environments to improve sweat response.

• Training with heavy weights to increase muscle mass.

What is altitude sickness?

• Nausea caused by training at altitude.

• A type of food poisoning.

• A skin condition caused by cold weather.

• A muscle injury from running.

What are alveoli?

• Air sacs in the lungs.

• Blood vessels in the heart.

• Muscles in the legs.

• Bones in the arms.

What does 'anaerobic' mean in the context of exercise?

• Without oxygen. When exercise duration is short and at high intensity, the heart and lungs cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the respiring cells need them.

• With oxygen. When exercise duration is long and at low intensity, the heart and lungs supply blood and oxygen efficiently.

• A type of exercise that only uses fat as fuel.

• Exercise that only occurs underwater.
