Question

After resting for 10 minutes, you decide to perform another explosive, one-time movement such as a standing vertical jump and again, exert maximal effort. You briskly push yourself up from a chair and walk about 1.5 minutes to arrive at a wall where a vertical jump measurement can be made.

a. anaerobic metabolism
b. lactic acid metabolism
c. aerobic metabolism

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. anaerobic metabolism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaerobic metabolism refers to a high intensity of exercise in which the absence of oxygen limits performance due to the accumulation of metabolites and the corresponding metabolic and physiological dysregulation.Predominantly anaerobic exercises are characterized by: high intensity and short duration, energy is obtained from immediate sources such as muscle ATP, phosphocreatine (PC) and glucose and does not need oxygen for this. For very explosive or high intensity movements it is necessary to obtain a powerful and fast energy, this is obtained by anaerobic systems. The anaerobic metabolism is able to respond immediately to the energy demands of physical exercise and can provide energy for very high intensity exercises (strength and / or power). But this system has a limited capacity, it is short-lived, so if the exercise continues, either you have to stop due to fatigue or reduce its intensity (the power developed) to a level where energy can be obtained through the aerobic metabolism.
