move. We have more than one energy system‚ we have 3 in total and these are * ATP (anaerobic) * Lactic acid (anaerobic) * Aerobic (aerobic) All three off these energy systems are fuelled by the same chemical called ADP-PC. These systems produce this chemical at different speeds‚ for example the ATP system produces the chemical very fast as for the aerobic energy system produces it very slowly. ATP is made up from Adenine and 3 phosphate groups it starts up as ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

challenged aerobic endurance. The results I achieved were generally pretty good in comparison to the Army fitness requirements. The army requires you to achieve at least level 10.2 in the bleep test which I marginally achieved with a score of 10.4. You are then expected to be able to do 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes (male or female) as well as 44 press-ups (21 for females). I managed to do 84 sit-ups in 2 minutes and 82 press-ups within 2 minutes showing good muscular endurance. Your aerobic endurance

They’re two types of metabolism which are Catabolism (Aerobic Metabolism) and Anabolism (Anaerobic Metabolism). Catabolism (Aerobic Metabolism) occurs when there is plentiful supply of glucose and oxygen for the cells to use for cellular respiration (Aerobic Respiration happens eventually with the mitochondria in the cells producing A.T.P-Adenosine Triphosphate). Anabolism (Anaerobic Metabolism) will occurs

According to Hitchman ‚ Aerobic waste water treatment processes use aerobic and facultative bacteria to break down the organic compounds found in wastewater into more stable products that will not harm the receiving waters. Wastewater treatment facilities such as lagoons or ponds‚ trickling filters and activated sludge plants depend on these aerobic bacteria to treat sewage. If the

On an average‚ every minute a person walks extends their life by one and a half to two minutes. A much better aerobic exercise that a person can fit into their exercise routine is swimming. Swimming doesn’t stress a person’s joints‚ according to the CDC; it is also the second most popular activity in the United States. Zumba‚ a Latin-inspired

allow the muscles required to function properly. Up to a point‚ the available oxygen is sufficient to meet the energy needs of the body. However‚ when muscular exertion is very great‚ oxygen cannot be supplied to muscle fibres fast enough‚ and the aerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid cannot produce all the ATP required for further muscle contraction. During such periods‚ additional ATP is generated by anaerobic respiration by glycolysis. In the process‚ most of the pyruvic acid produced is converted

Muscle Tone and Strength Did you guys ever see a flabby dolphin or a weak-looking competitive swimmer? We didn’t think so. That’s because swimming is a great way to increase muscular strength and muscle tone -- especially compared to several other aerobic exercises. Take running‚ for example. When a jogger takes few laps around the track‚ that jogger is only moving his or her body through air. A swimmer‚ on the other hand‚ is propelling himself through water -- a substance about twelve times as dense

There is no cure for hypertension‚ however there are a plethora of treatment options. Diuretics (promote urination)‚ are medications that act on your kidneys to help your body eliminate sodium and water‚ reducing blood volume. Thiazide diuretics are often the first choice in high BP medications. Thiazide diuretics include: hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide)‚ chlorthalidone and others. Diuretics or calcium channel blockers may work better for African-Americans and older people than do angiotensin-converting

phosphorylation is the transfer of a phosphate group from one chemical (the substrate) onto ADP to generate ATP. Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm of cells as part of glycolysis and in mitochondria as part of the Krebs Cycle under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. What is the difference between oxidative and substrate level phosphorylation? Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway that uses energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to produce ATP. Oxidative phosphorylation
