Aerobic Training Flashcards
Maximum Aerobic capacity
Maximum amount of energy able to be supplied by aerobic metabolism
Lactate threshold
Speed of movement of % of VO2 max that blood lactate begins to increase above resting levels
Exercise economy
Athletes with high economy spend less energy covering the same distance as those with low economy
Program design steps
Exercise mode, training frequency, training intensity, exercise duration, exercise progression
Training frequency
2-5 times a week
Describe the KArvonen method
220-age, HHR (APMHR-resting HR), target heart rate (HRR*intensity in decimals)+RHR
Describe MHR method
APMHR= 220-age, target HR done twice
Which training type trains 1-2x, trains at race distance (30-120 min), and is at &0% of VO2 max
Long, slow, distance
Which training type trains 1-2x, for 20-30min, at LA threshold or above race pace
Pace/tempo
What training type trains 1-2x, for 3-5 min work to rest 1:1 and close to VO2 max
Interval
Which training type trains1x, for short <45 sec or long 2-4 min above VO2 max
HIIT
What training type trains 1x, for 20-60 min and varies between LSD and pace/tempo intensity
Fartlek
Benefits of LSD
Improved Lactate removal threshold and increased type 1 muscle fibers
Benefits of pace/tempo training
Allows sense of race pace, increase lactate threshold, increased ability to sustain race pace
Benefits to interval training
Increased VO2 max and increased anaerobic metabolism
