Muscle Fatigue
occurs during long periods of vigirious exercise and causes muscles to work less effciently.
1 of 8
Glycogen
insoluble polymer formed from glucose and stored in muscles. It can be converted back to glucose and used during in vigirious exercise.
2 of 8
Aerobic Respiration
Occurs when oxygen reacts with glucose and releases energy. Carbon dioxide and waters are the products of reaction.
3 of 8
Respiration
Is a series of chemical reactions that realease energy from glucose and other nutrients. It takes place in the cells of living organisms.
4 of 8
Anerobic respiration
releases energy from nutrients without oxygen. Only partailly breaks down Glucose, therefore produces less energy. Produces Lactic acid.

6 of 8
Lactic Acid
Builds up in muscles during annerobic respiration.
7 of 8
Oxygen Debt
Amount of Oxygen needed to oxidise the lactic acid that has built up in the muscles during annerobic respiration.
