Purpose:
Do you know what happens to your body and muscles when undergoing anaerobic respiration? “During anaerobic respiration, less energy is released than during aerobic. This is because the breakdown of glucose is not complete. What it does to your muscles is it releases much less energy than it needs. Due to this, anaerobic respiration produces an oxygen debt that is the amount of oxygen needed to oxidise lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/respiration/respirationrev4.shtml). “Anaerobic respiration cannot go on for more than a few seconds as the lactic acid builds up in the muscles and is said to cause a cramp or at least fatigue and some soreness. Muscles become tired during …show more content…
This means that they stop contracting efficiently. The longer workouts rely on sustained aerobic respiration, but may still use anaerobic respiration for some with a more speedy finish. Athletes train their bodies to maximise the performance of their respiratory and circulatory system, but also to increase their tolerance to the lactic acid. After strenuous exercise has ended, the body responds by continuing to breathe deeply, even though the muscles no longer need the extra energy they did a few seconds before” (http://www.biotopics.co.uk/newgcse/exerciseeffects.html). “This is because the body has built up an oxygen debt. The lactic acid is removed from the muscles by blood flowing through them” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/respiration/respirationrev4.shtml). The hypothesis that has been made based off of this research is that over time of opening and closing the clothespin again and again, your muscles will get tired because of the strain, short breaks, and lactic acid being built up. Overtime, your squeezes will probably decrease because of the …show more content…
To get accurate results I would also have them repeat it about three times. To test this I would see where their estimated time for finishing up five hundred meters would be. If it was a high split or amount of minutes, then it means they did not have enough leg press to continue going at a lower rate to finish faster than the other people. That is pretty much how you could tell where the lactic acid build up is because the more pain they're in because of that, the less they are able to keep going without easing up. I would record that data by writing down where everyone started to go downhill and get my final results there. From that I would be able to see everyone’s endurance. I think that that would be a good example and experiment for how to see how long it takes for the acid to build up in the
