Q

Lactate threshold

A
  • speed of movement or % of VO2max at which a specific blood lactate concentration is observed
  • exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood lactate concentration begins to increase above resting baseline levels
  • highest O2 consumption or exercise intensity achieved with < 1.0 mM increase in blood lactate concentration above the pre-exercise level

6
Q

Onset of blood lactate accumulation

A
  • is a second increase in the rate of lactate accumulation that has been observed at higher relative exercise intensities
  • is the exercise intensity at which the concentration of lactate in the blood reaches 4,0mM

16
Q

when is it good to ingest carbohydrates

A

endurance performance lasting more than 60 min

17
Q

type 1 muscle fibers

A
  • are predominant in elite aerobic endurance athletes
  • high capacity for aerobic metabolism
  • high mitochondrial density and oxidative enzyme capacity
18
Q

exercise mode

A

improve aerobic endurance performance
selecting the appropriate exercise mode

19
Q

training frequency depends on

A
  • an interaction of exercise intensity and duration
  • the athletes training status
  • the specific sport season
20
Q

recovery

A

essential
sufficient rest, relaxation, rehydration, post exercise nutrition

21
Q

too much training may

A

increase risk of injury
frequency needs to be less than 5 times a week

22
Q

regulation of exercise intensity

A

critical to the success of each training session and ultimately the entire program

23
Q

most accurate methods for regulating exercise intensity

A

monitor O2 consumption during exercise to determine its VO2max
periodically measure concentration of blood lactate to determine the relationship to the lactate threshold

24
Q

heart rate

A

most frequently used method without VO2max

25
Q

means of regulating intensity with heart rate

A

determine specific HR associated with the determined VO2max or
determine HR associated with the lactate threshold

26
Q

Less accurate means of using HR to regulate intensity

A

Karvonen Method
percentage method

27
Q

RPE

A

can be used to accurately regulate intensity when there are changes in fitness levels
valid monitoring tool

28
Q

factors that may influence RPE

A

age
sex
training status
fitness level
listening to music
watching tv or video
environmental temp
altitude
nutritional consideration
external feedback

29
Q

exercise velocity can regulate intensity

A

exercise pace

30
Q

power measuring devices can regulate intensity

A

metabolic rate is closely related to mechanical power production
allows reproducible intensity efforts

31
Q

general recommendations of exercise progression

A

at least 1 recovery or active rest day in each week
frequency, intensity or duration should increase more than 10%
exercise intensity should be changed if you cant change frequency or duration
monitor progression of intensity to avoid overtraining

32
Q

type on aerobic training parameters

A

slide 30

33
Q

intensity during LSD

A

lower in training than in competition
can be a disadvantage bc does not stimulate the neurological patterns of competition
muscles not used to competition
