In Zimbabwe, there are two seasons- the wet and dry season. Regardless, the temperatures are rather moderate and less arid and humid than in the Northern part of Africa. The dry season generally is from May to October. At the tail end of the dry season, it is the least desirable time to visit Africa. In fact, October and November are known as âsuicide monthsâ because the temperatures remain high through the night as well.
metabolic equivalent (MET) metabolic equivalent (MET) expresses the approximate energy cost (in terms of oxygen consumption) of a particular activity relative to the energy expenditure at rest, i.e. at rest MET = 1, equivalent to oxygen consumption of about 3.5 mL O2 kg-1.min-1.
Aerobic Versus Anaerobic Activities. When you perform short and intense activities that require maximal energy, you rely on your anaerobic metabolism. For example, the energy used to run a 100-meter sprint is about 100 percent anaerobic. The primary nutrient for this type of exercise is carbohydrates.hen a glucose molecule is converted into carbon dioxide and water via aerobic metabolism, it produces 39 molecules of ATP. However, glycolysis requires powerful enzymes that compensate for the lower energy efficiency of anaerobic metabolism.
