energy systems

anaerobic=occurs with oxygen

glucose-----energy+lactic acid

aerobic=occus without oxygen

long period of time

slow twitch

more than 1 min

low intensity

marathon/cyclists

this type is used when the body contiunes an activity fo a long period of time and the energy to do so is produced by oxygen.

high intensity

glucose+oxygen-----carbon dioxide+water

lactic acid build up

short duration

goalkeeper/javelin/sprinter

this occurs when the body works without sufficent oxygen being supplie. if oxygen isnt supplied this can result in only short burts

last for upto 60 seconds

what is the effect of lactc acid on the body?

A temporary buildup of lactic acid can be caused by vigorous exercise if your body doesn't have enough available oxygen to break down glucose in the blood. This can cause a burning feeling in the muscle groups you're using. It can also cause nausea and weakness

lactic acid= a mild poisonand waste product of anaerobic respiration
