Aerobic and Anaerobic metabolism

Anaerobic metabolism is the creation of energy through the combustion of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. This occurs when your lungs cannot put enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep up with the demands of your muscles for energy. It generally is used only for short bursts of activity, such as when you go for a sprint when running or cycling or when you are lifting heavy weights.

Aerobic metabolism is the way your body creates energy through the combustion of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats in the presence of oxygen. Combustion means burning, which is why this is called burning sugars, fats, and proteins for energy. Aerobic metabolism is used for the sustained production of energy for exercise and other body functions. Examples of exercises that use aerobic metabolism include walking, running, or cycling with sustained effort.

In the aerobic metabolic process, the human body uses a molecule of glucose to produce 36 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. ATP is what fuels your muscles. Anaerobic metabolism, which is used for vigorous muscle contraction, only produces two ATP molecules per glucose molecule, so it is much less efficient.


Your body will often switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism during sports and exercise activities that require short bursts of sprints as well as sustained jogging, such as in soccer, tennis, and basketball.

Difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic metabolism:

  • Anaerobic metabolism is not as efficient as aerobic metabolism.
  • A molecule of glucose can only produce three ATP molecules under anaerobic metabolism, while it produces 39 with aerobic metabolism.
  • Anaerobic metabolism can only use glucose and glycogen, while aerobic metabolism can also break down fats and protein.

VICTOR'S BLOG VIDEO COMMENT

In my opinion it is a very useful video because it speaks about an interesting topic, Aerobic vs Anaerobic exercise, and it explains it not only speaking , it also uses images and that help people to understand it. From my point of view we should watch more videos like this in class because for example, in my case I didn't really know nothing about ATP and how it is created and I think it is very useful

SELF ASSESMENT

In this first term I have learnt some new things as how to use past perfect. The thing that I liked the most was making the project about a social media because I prefer doing that type of activities than regular classes. In my opinion I did well many things but I have to improve my vocabulary.

Sometimes I am confused about countable and uncountable nouns. Outside class I listen to music in English and sometimes I watch films in English. From my point of view I have to improve Vocabulary and Listening.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

P.E PROJECT

WHAT IS FNP? EXPLAIN ALL ITS PHASES AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE QUADRICEPS AND ANOTHER FOR HAMSTRINGS

FNP (PNF in English) means PROPIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION and it is a stretching technique used to improve muscles elasticity and has been shown to have a positive effect on active and passive ranges of motions.

4 Phases are mainly differentiated:

A first passive stretching during 20 seconds

Followed by an isometric contraction of 8 seconds

A rest of approximately 5 seconds

And ending with a new passive stretching for 20 seconds

EXAMPLES:

Hamstrings: FNP of hamstrings consists of sitting on the floor and trying to touch your feet at the same time your partner is pushing you.

Quadriceps: FNP of quadriceps consists on lying down on the floor while our partner pushes our back with his arm and takes our leg to our waist




EXPLAIN THE GENERAL SYNDROME OF ADAPTATION AND ALL ITS PHASES. GIVE AN EXAMPLE

The General Syndrome of Adaptation (GAS) is a three stages procces that describes the physiological changes the body goes through when is under stress.

The three stages in which it is divided are:

1. Alarm reaction Stage: The Alarm Reaction Stage refers to the initial symptoms the body experiences when is under stress. This natural reaction prepares you to either flee or protect yourself in dangerous situations

2. Resistance stage: After the initial shock of a stressful event, the body begins to repair itself. It releases a lower amount of cortisol, and your heart rate and blood pressure begin to normalize.

3.Exhaustion: This stage is the result of prolonged or chronic stress. Struggling with stress for long periods can drain your physical, emotional and mental resources to the point where your body no longer has strenght to fight stress.

EXAMPLE:
- Failing an important exam
-Losing a close familiar
-Feeling lonely


EXPLAIN THE THRESHOLD LAW BY ARNOLD SCHULT. ILLUSTRATE WITH AN EXAMPLE.

This theory starts from the existence of a minimum threshold or stimulus necessary for somebody to produce, improve or adapt in the organism

It is a very personal issue. There is also a maximum tolerance or point from which only the fatigue and overtraining. According to this law,adaptation occurs as a result of physical efforts proposed in a consistent and appropiate manner so that the organism assimilates them progressively.

1 In the first case is very far from the threshold so neither the training is given nor improvements

2 In the second case at best if you could give the training if the job was repeated several times, but what would be achieved more that nothing would be fatigue and decreased performance.

3. The third case would be the ideal, in the musce, technical, organic, improvements are achieved

4 In the fourth case is not achieved any improvement and leads overtraining and fatigue.

EXAMPLE:


WHAT IS THE TRAINING LOAD AND WHAT ARE ITS COMPONENTS? EXPLAIN THEM AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF EACH ONE

In sports training load is a central phase through which performance of a sportsman is improved.
Every sports training consists of physical exercises which cause fatigue. Fatigue is directly a product of training load which helps in the process of adaptation.

Therefore training load and fatigue are important for any kind of sportsman performance.

COMPONENTS:

Volume: Training volume is the amount of work done.

 EXAMPLE: If I go to the gym for 1 hour, the volume 1 hour

Intensity:  Training intensity is how hard you train.

EXAMPLE: If I do a Farleck the Intensity is the type of Farleck (Low, Medium, High)

Frequency: Training frequency is how often you perform certain move, practice certain exercise or train certain muscle.

EXAMPLE: If I go running 2 times per week the frequency is 2 times per week

Density: Training density is the relation between work and each pause.

EXAMPLE: Reduce fatigue having breaks.

Duration: Is the repetitivity of the stimulus

EXAMPLE: If I do 20 push-ups the duration is 20.


EXPLAIN THE PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING ACCORDING TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF OLIVER (1985) AND ZINTL (1991)

Oliver establishes the following categories to classify the different principles:

-Principles related to the stimulation of physical conditioning:

  • Variety
  • Continuity


-Principles related to he systems to which the stimulus is directed.

  • Specificity
  • Multilaterality
  • Specialization


-Principles related to the response to the stimulus.

  • Individualization


Zintl classifies his proposed principes in three groups:

-Those who initiate the adaptation

  • Effective stimulation of the load
  • Progressive increase of the load
  • Variety of the load


-Those that guarantee adaptation

  • Optimum relationship between load and recovery
  • Repetition and continuity
  • Periodization


-Those who exercise specific control of adaptation.

  • Indivualization
  • Progressive specialization
  • Alternation
