Aerobic Endurance Training Part 2 Flashcards
T/F Endurance trained athletes & untrained individuals do not demonstrate the same response to submaximal continuous training
True
What are 3 other terms that can also be used for submaximal endurance training
Continuous aerobic training, long, slow distance training
Does additional increase in submax endurance training volume in highly trained athletes further enhance performance or associated physiological variables?
No
In highly trained athletes what does submaximal endurance training not further enhance?
- Endurance performance
- Maximal oxygen uptake
- Anaerobic threshold
- Economy of motion
- Oxidative muscle enzymes
What is the only type of training that can improve endurance performance in highly trained endurance athletes
HIIT
What was the first study of its kind to examine HIIT
Weston et al., 1997
What did the study say was the physiological response to HIIT
- No up-regulation of oxidative
or glycolytic enzyme activity - Improvement in 40 km cycling
time-trial - Improvement in peak power output
What do central adaptations increase
Delivery of O2 to exercising muscles
What do peripheral adaptations increase
Utilization of O2 by the working muscles
List the adaptations to endurance training for sedentary and recreationally active individuals
- Lower HR at pre-training work rates
- Hypervolemia
- Greater CO
- Greater SV
- Increased VO2 max
- Increased capillary density
- Increased mitochondrial
volume - Reduction in glucose & muscle glycogen utilization
- Lower blood lactate levels at the same absolute workload
What is the oxidative enzyme activity in highly trained vs untrained individuals
Up to 3-4 times higher in highly-trained athletes
What is the capillaries per muscle fiber in highly trained
up to 3 times more
T/F Highly trained athletes have a greater percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers compared to untrained individuals
false, there is a greater percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers
VO2 max in sedentary individuals
<45
VO2 max in recreationally active individuals
45 to 60
