List 3 differences between aerobic and anaerobic exercise.
Nitella [24]
1. aerobic means "with oxygen" and anaerobic means "without oxygen"

2. aerobic can mean small exercises meaning you aren't using too much of your body's muscles and bones to workout. Anaerobic can mean big exercises meaning weight lifting. 

3. With aerobic exercise the oxygen is carried through your breath to the muscles giving them the energy they needed. This is basically an example of a warm-up before an exercise. Anaerobic however makes you out of breath quickly because without doing the warm-up and you just go into the workout you are making yourself weak and not have enough energy. 

Hope this helped :)

A spinal injury victim who is in water should be: Group of answer choices left in the water as is until EMS personnel arrive. im
Alexandra [31]

Answer: Immobilized and kept in the water waiting the EMS personnel arrive

Explanation:

When we are facing spinal injuries, sudden movements can be lethal, that is why we seek to immobilize the victim and wait for medical personnel to arrive at the site of attention, since if the rescuer makes a bad maneuver when removing the victim of water, even though it is immobilized, it is at risk of suffering future consequences.

First aid care is intended to keep the accident scene in a stable condition until EMS personnel arrive.
