Supplying oxygen to the working muscles
What is the definition of aerobic exercise?
With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need. Summarised as: glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water.
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. Summarised as: glucose → energy + lactic acid.
What is the definition of anaerobic 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. Summarised as: glucose → energy + lactic acid.
With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need. Summarised as: glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water.
What is the definition of agility?
The maintenance of the centre of mass over the base of support. Reference can bemade to whilst static (still) or dynamic (whilst moving).
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles.
The ability to move and change direction quickly (at speed) whilst maintaining control.
The ability to use different (two or more) parts of the body together, smoothly and efficiently.
Which is not an example of an axis in the body?
Frontal
