anaerobic power and capacity Flashcards
1
Q
anerobic threshold
A
- overlap between energy systems
- occurs before VO2 max
- although there is a shift toward anerobic metabolism, aerobic metabolism continues to increase
- identifies work intensities above the anaerobic metabolism
2
Q
lactate threshold determination (graphs)
A
- single lactate threshold ( greater than 1.0mM of blood lactate)
- regression analysis (intersection of two lines from above and below inflection
- d-max method (largest deviation between the La vs W curve and the line connected the end points
-OBLA of 4mM
3
Q
lactate vs. ventilatory threshold
A
- anaerobic metabolism increases CO2 production
- isocapnic buffering = compensation for rising CO2 (decreasing PH)
- increasing ventilation eliminates CO2 and helps buffer the drop in PH
4
Q
ventilatory threshold determination
A
- v-slope method
5
Q
alactic system power and capacity
A
- 0.1 to 1-3s of power, peak is 5
- capacity is 8-12 seconds, peak is 15
- explosive intensity for power
- all- out intensity for capacity
6
Q
alactic system definition
A
- muscles have a very small storage of ATP
- PCr system can rapidly supply ATP to working muscles
- no lactate or PH changes
- depletion of PCr sets the limit on the system
- drop in output as a result
- Cr and ADP signal shift in primary energy source
7
Q
lactic system power and capacity
A
- 15 - 30 s of power
- 45 - 90 s of capacity, peak is 120s
- all-out intensity for power intensity
- all out intensity for capacity
8
Q
lactic system definition
A
- produces slightly more ATP, but at a lesser rate than the alactic system
- fast and slow pathways
- lactate is made to assist in ATP production
- ph change sets the limit to this system (influenced by buffering capacity, how much we can clear lactate)
9
Q
why assess the anaerobic system
A
- requires quick burst of energy
- ATP synthesis to initiate
- relevant to occupations, sports, and active daily living tasks
10
Q
anaerobic testing considerations
A
- duration
- intensity
- resistance (application of test)
- ergometry
- this is how you isolate the system the best
11
Q
duration
A
- must encompass the time so that peak power or total capacity can be reached or occurs
12
Q
intensity
A
- explosive vs maximal vs supramaximal
- all out from outset or a pre set near/supramaximal intensity setting
- set work rate, a hard start will stay hard
13
Q
resistance
A
- relative (%body mass)
- absolute (kps % grade, speed)
14
Q
ergometry
A
- primary choice, ability to accurately calculate power output, specificity
- can control intensity
15
Q
considerations: tester control
A
- rested state of the individual- ATP-CP stores, glycogen, absence of DOMS as soreness influences the test
- motivation
- ergometry/mode of exercise
- protocol; resistance setting, speed/grade
