Study Notes
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration
- Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
- Anaerobic respiration doesn't involve gas exchange.
Anaerobic Activities
- Involves short, high-intensity efforts, resulting in a quick burst of energy.
- Energy is produced by breaking down glucose without using oxygen.
- Activities are typically short in duration but require maximal effort.
Examples of Anaerobic Activities
- Sprinting, weightlifting, jump rope, rowing, squats, push-ups.
- Other activities include plyometrics, bench press, medicine ball throws, and isometric exercises.
Bone Strengthening Activities
- Physical stress from activities stimulates bone growth and increases density, known as bone hypertrophy.
- Skeletal muscles contracting create stress on bones, making them stronger.
- Activities like running, skipping rope, and basketball effectively strengthen bones.
Muscle Strengthening Activities
- Focus on exercises that engage muscle groups against resistance or weight.
- Building muscle strength helps in performing daily tasks efficiently.
- Common exercises include push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and weightlifting.
Guidelines for Aerobic Exercise
- Frequency of aerobic sessions per week is crucial for effective results, especially for weight loss.
