Aerobic Endurance Flashcards
What is aerobic endurance?
The ability of the cardio respiratory system to work efficiently supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity
What is continuous training?
Where the performer trains at a steady pace and moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes
What is Vo2max?
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, is the highest rate at which oxygen can be consumed during intense exercise. It is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance, reflecting the efficiency of the heart, lungs, and muscles in using oxygen. VO2 max is typically measured in millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (mL/kg/min) and can be assessed through exercise tests on a treadmill or cycle ergometer.
What are the advantages of continuous training?
-No equipment needed
-easy to organise and carry out
-sports specific
-good for building endurance.
What are the disadvantages of continuous training?
-Can be boring
-hard risk of injury running on hard surface
-develop aerobic endurance not anaerobic
What is fartlek training?
Performer varies the intensity of training by running at different speeds or over different terrains
What systems can it train? (Fartlek)
It can train aerobic and anaerobic system due to different intensities and speed
What are the advantages of fartlek training?
-Not specific
-no need for specialist equipment
-high intensity levels
-add variety and interest to training
What are the disadvantages of fartlek training?
-Need for careful control of training and intensity
-self discipline and motivation needed
What is interval training?
Repetition of work at high speed or intensity, followed by periods of low activity or rest
What systems does it train? (Interval)
It trains both aerobic and anaerobic
What is validity?
How accurate are the results does the test really measure what we want it to
What is reliability?
The ability to repeatedly carry out the same test and expect similar results each time
What is practicality?
Is the test suitable for the given situation?
-how much space is required?
-is there any specialist equipment needed?
Reliability of the multistage fitness test?
Distance accurately measured. The environment must remain constant
