Aerobic Endurance Exercise Training Flashcards
Factors related to aerobic endurance performance 3
Vo2 max, lactate threshold, exercise economy
Lactate threshold
Point at which blood lactate begins to increase over resting levels
Exercise economy
Measure of the energy cost of activity at a given exercise velocity
Step 1
Exercise mode
Exercise mode
Specific activity performed by the athlete. The more specific the mode the greater the improvement in performance
Step 2
Frequency
How frequent to improve vo2 max?
More than twice a week
Sep 3
Training intensity
High intensity increases
CV and resp function and o2 delivery
With high intensity, greater type 2 recruited. Allows…
Them to become more aerobic ally trained
Most frequently used for prescribing aerobic exercise intensity
Heart rate
HRR=
Max HR- RHR
Step 4
Exercise duration
Duration influenced by
Intensity. Inversely
Step 5
Exercise progression
Types of gaining programs (5)
LSD, pace tempo, interval, repetition, fartlek
LSD % vo2 max
70%
Distance for LSD
Longer than race distance
LSD duration
3 min to 2 hours
LSD aka
Conversation exercise
LSD enhances
Thermoregulatory and CV function
LSD increases
Mitochondrial energy function and oxidative capacity of skmm. Utilization of fat for fuel.
LSD spares
Muscle glycogen
Pace tempo intensity
Slightly higher than race competition
