anaerobic chronic adaptations

Question 1

increased synchronisation of motor units

Answer 1

neurological- leads to smoother acceleration of body parts, greater power and increased duration of high intensity contractions.

Question 2

increased number of motor units to be recruited

Answer 2

neurological- leads to more force being developed by muscle.

Question 3

increased number and size of myofibrils

Answer 3

hypertrophy- leads to more forceful contractions

Question 4

increased size and strength of connective tissue

Answer 4

hypertrophy- leads to improved structure and functions of ligaments and tendons

Question 5

increased thickness of left ventricle wall

Answer 5

cardiovascular- increased speed and delivery of nutrients.

Question 6

increased glycolytic enzymes

Answer 6

muscular - speeds up the breakdown of glycogen, releasing energy at a faster rate.

Question 7

increased ATP, PC and glycogen stores

Answer 7

muscular- increase the capacity of ATP-PC and anaerobic systems
