Correct Answers/ Latest Update /
Already Graded
10-12 seconds
Ans: duration of ATP/PC system
1RM
Ans: Maximum amount of weight a group of muscles can lift at one time
400m event
Ans: Example of sport in which lactic energy system is dominant
absolute strength
Ans: A term for the total amount of weight you can lift or resistance you
can overcome regardless of your body weight
,2 | Page
adaptation
Ans: When the body gets used to a level of exercise intensity
adenosine triphosphate
Ans: a high energy compound that stores and transfers energy to body
cells, allowing then to perform their specialised functions.
aerobic
Ans: process that requires oxygen
Aerobic glycolysis - 1 (Aerobic system)
Ans: Occurs in mitochondria (in muscle cells). Glucose (with oxygen) ->
pyruvic acid -> acetyl-coenzyme (acetyl-CoA)
Aerobic threshold
,3 | Page
Ans: a level of exercise intensity that is sufficient to cause a training effect
(approx 65% MHR)
aerobic training zone
Ans: a level of intensity that causes the heart rate to be high enough to
cause significant training gains
Alactacid system - ATP PC - 2
Ans: ATP broken down in muscle at same time phosphocreatine (PC) is
broken down
Alactacid system - PC - 3
Ans: Amount of PC in muscles is limited - depleted after 5-10s maximal
work. Restored after 2min rest
amino acids
, 4 | Page
Ans: the building blocks of proteins
anaerobic
Ans: process that does not require oxygen
anaerobic glycolysis
Ans: a process where glucose is broken down in the absence of oxygen
to produce energy
anaerobic interval
Ans: Maximum effort exerted over a short distance with extended rests to
allow lactic acids to disperse
anaerobic threshold
Ans: a level of intensity in physical activity where the accumulation of
lactic acid increases quickly
