  1. Sports Science 5.5 Recovery after exercise

  2. Learning objectives • Be able to define and describe aerobic and anaerobic respiration • Understand how blood glucose levels are controlled

  3. Anaerobic respiration • Releases energy from glucose without using oxygen • Strenuous sport – oxygen not supplied quick enough • By-product lactic acid – makes your muscles ache

  4. Oxygen Debt • Lungs and heart couldn’t keep up – Anaer. Resp. • Lactic acid needs to be removed • Broken down into carbon dioxide and water • Needs oxygen • Muscles don’t work properly until: • Removed lactic acid (20 min) • Replaced energy (20 min) • Top up haemoglobin (24 hrs) • Replenish glycogen (24 hrs)

  5. Repaying debt • Warming down – keeps your heart rate and breathing rate up • ‘Active recovery’ • Repays oxygen debt – removing lactic acid • Lactic acid stays in your blood if you don’t ward down

  6. Glycogen • Glucose cannot be stored as glucose • Converted to starch called glycogen • Stored in Liver (20%) and muscles (80%) • Blood sugar controlled by 2 hormones produced by liver • Insulin and glucagon • Diabetics – can’t produce insulin • Dangerously high blood sugar

  7. Too much Digesting carbohydrates Increase blood glucose Stimulate pancreas to produce insulin Liver converts glucose into glycogen Stored energy Too little Exercise/respiration Reduces blood glucose Stimulates pancreas to produce glucagon Liver converts glycogen to glucose Released energy Controlling blood glucose

  8. Key points • Your body cannot store glucose in your blood. Instead you store it as starch, called glycogen, in your liver (20%) and your muscles (80%) • The hormones insulin and glucagon control your blood sugar levels
