In aerobic cellular respiration, the cell needs oxygen in order to generate ATP. Aerobic exercise is exercise that primarily uses aerobic cellular respiration and thus requires a lot of oxygen. Anaerobic exercise uses primarily anaerobic cellular respiration in order to generate ATP, which does not require a lot of oxygen. The graph shows that, over the course of their workouts, Rosa uses a lot more oxygen than Deborah does. Thus, Rosa is doing an aerobic exercise, such as running, and Deborah is doing an anaerobic exercise, such as weightlifting.

The American College of Sports Medicine has issued three guidelines to develop and maintain fitness. The three guidelines include: Cardiorespiratory activity that uses large muscle groups and can be maintained continuously. These moderate intensity activities include running, cycling, swimming, and so on and should be performed 5 to 7 days per week for at least 30 minutes per day. Flexibility: This category involves stretching activities that use the major muscle groups. This activity should be performed 2 to 7 days/week at an intensity enough to feel tightness or slight discomfort. Yoga is an example of a stretching activity. Strength: This category involves resistance activities such as push-ups, weightlifting, and pilates. These activities should occur on 2 to 3 nonconsecutive days per week at an intensity such that muscle strength is enhanced and body composition is improved.

Type of Activity Aerobic activity that uses largemuscle groups and can be maintained continuously Resistance activity that is performed at a controlled speed and through a full range of motion Stretching activity that uses the major muscle groups Frequency 5 to 7 days per week 2 to 3 nonconsecutive days per week 2 to 7 days per week Intensity Moderate (equivalent to walking at a pace of 3 to 4 miles per hour) Enough to enhance muscle strength and improve body composition Enough to feel tightness or slight discomfort Duration At least 30 minutes per day 2 to 4 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions involving each major muscle group 2 to 4 repetitions of 15 to 30 seconds per muscle group Examples Running, cycling, dancing, swimming, inline skating, rowing, power walking, cross-country skiing, kickboxing, water aerobics, jumping rope; sports activities such as basketball, soccer, racquetball, tennis, volleyball Pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, weightlifting, pilates Yoga

Identify the factors that influence an athlete's fluid needs and describe the differences between water and sports drinks.

Active people need to drink plenty of water; endurance athletes need to drink both water and carbohydrate-containing beverages, especially during training and competition. During events lasting longer than 3 hours, athletes need to pay special attention to replace sodium losses to prevent hyponatremia.

To prepare for the cross-country meet, a skier decides to significantly increase the amount of carbohydrates in his diet (a technique also known as carbohydrate loading). Why might this be beneficial to the cross-country skier? Check all that apply. a. As long as oxygen is present, the glucose stored in the ingested carbohydrates can provide a steady stream of ATP, thus meeting the demands of prolonged periods of exercise. b.

Eating more carbohydrates leads to more glycogen stores in muscles, which then equates to larger energy stores for short, explosive bouts of energy use. d. The liver can store copious amounts of ingested carbohydrates as glycogen, which can then be slowly broken down to release the glucose needed to fuel aerobic respiration.

physical activity

bodily movement produced by muscle contractions that substantially increase energy expenditure.

Identify the factors that influence fuel use during physical activity and the types of activities that depend more on glucose or fat, respectively.

The mixture of fuels the muscles use during physical activity depends on diet, the intensity and duration of the activity, and training. During intense activity, the fuel mix contains mostly glucose, whereas during less intense, moderate activity, fat makes a greater contribution. With endurance training, muscle cells adapt to store more glycogen and to rely less on glucose and more on fat for energy. Athletes in training may need more protein than sedentary people do, but they typically eat more food as well and therefore obtain enough protein without taking supplements.
