How does the Sympathetic Division of the PNS regulate the body during exercise?

The SyNS pumps out epinephrine (adrenaline) during exercise to speed up heartrate, and regulate blood pressure. It also triggers the release of energy from your body's stores to fuel your muscles.


What is the preferred fuel for the body during high intensity exercise?

water


Is exercise of a body an exothermic and endothermic?

As you exercise your body uses stored fuel and turn it into energy to power mechanical movement. In this process, energy in the form of heat is released in to the surroundings. Therefore this is an exothermic process.


How does exercise help you lose weight if muscle builds on fat?

the bigger your muscle becomes, bigger consume of energy after exercise. After aprox. 20 min of exercise you will use your energy from the fat, and if your intake of energy is less than your consume, is just math. Muscle doesn't build fat (it burns it) and muscle weighs more than fat. If you became a body builder and had good muscles and then years later didn't bother to keep up your exercise regime this is when the muscle would turn to fat. Muscle cannot turn to fat. But if you do not continue working it you will lose muscle mass and burn less calories. If you do not eat less or exercise more to compensate for this reduction in muscle mass than you will gain weight back in the form of fat.


What is primary fuel during exercise?

Carbohydrates are your body's main energy source, fats are energy too but the energy in carbohydrates (including sugars) is easier to break down.


How does the effect of an aerobic training programme alter the way we use fuel for energy?

Besides the obvious increased caloric expenditure during aerobic exercise, long-term aerobic exercise appears to change what sources of energy we use during such activity. Studies examining trained and untrained people exercising have found that trained participants will rely more on stored fat during exercise than untrained ones. Additionally, you will continue to burn an increased number of calories for about an hour or so after stopping exercise (as your body uses energy to help recover).


Why does the fuel in your body increase whilst doing exercise?

The body's fuel requirements become higher as the body's main energy source(carbohydrates) becomes depleted and needs topped up with a sugary substance.orThe body's fuel may increase as you may not have enough glucose in your body so your body starts to break into your glycogen store's (fat, which is stored glucose) which provides the body with huge amounts of energy.


How does exercise affect the amount of carbon released from the lungs?

Your body is an engine that uses fuel (food) to produce energy for you to do exercise. The fuel contains carbon from the carbohydrates you eat, and the body uses oxygen from the air to do a chemical reaction that combines the carbon with the oxygen to produce energy plus carbon dioxide. If you do exercise, you use more fuel and more oxygen, and you produce more carbon dioxide. The body has sensors that detect excess carbon dioxide in the blood, and they make you breathe faster to get rid of it.


Is fat the favored fuel during short high-intensity activity?

Yes. Fat is a good energy source for muscles during almost any exercise. It's easily converted into energy.


What is the primary disadvantage of using fat as fuel during endurance exercise?

The primary disadvantage of using fat as fuel during endurance exercise is that it is not entirely clear where the fat used comes from. It is not certain whether it is adipose tissue, which the body has plenty of, or intramuscular triglycerides that are stored in muscle fibers.


How can diet and metabolism affect exercise?

In order to exercise and participate in any physical activity, your body needs fuel to do any actual work. Without fuel you would die when your body reserves deplete (The reserves being fat).If you wish to lose weight (fat), you need to spend more energy than you consume.


The primary fuel during endurance exercise is?

Fatty Acids
