Q

what are the 3 main changes occurring with anaerobic power training ?

A

1) increased level of anaerobic substrates
2) increased quantity and activity of key enzymes that control the anaerobic phase of glucose catabolism
3) increased capacity to generate and tolerate high levels of blood lactate during all-out exercise (possibly due to better tolerance to fatigue and increased levels of glycolytic enzymes)

24
Q

in what exercise condition will there be the greatest SV increase for both untrained and trained persons ?

A

transition from rest to moderate exercise

25
Q

when does maximum stroke volume occur in untrained persons ?

A

at 40-50 % VO2 max

26
Q

transitioning from rest to exercise, which variables will change for untrained and trained persons ?

A

untrained: small increase in SV, mostly HR
trained: increase in both SV and HR to increase CO

27
Q

what is the most significant adaptation with aerobic training ? what is it due to ?

A

increase in cardiac output, due to increase in stroke volume

28
Q

what happens as a consequence of reduced submaximal cardiac output ?

A

an increase in oxygen extraction in active muscles to achieve the oxygen requirement.

29
Q

how does aerobic training change the a-v (mixed) O2 difference ?

A

increases the quantity of oxygen extracted due to more effective CO distribution to active muscles, and the enhanced capacity of trained muscle fibers to extract said oxygen

30
Q

why is it so important that a-v O2 difference increases with training ?

A

in populations that are older, since they have a diminished capacity to improve cardiac output, they can compensate by working on oxygen extraction

31
Q

how does blood flow distribution change as a result of training adaptation in submax and max exercise ?

A

SUBMAX: unchanged or slightly lower, because
lower cardiac output than untrained persons, therefore reduced muscle blood flow. muscle’s ability to deliver and extract increases, which means the oxygen needs become proportionally smaller
- rapid changes mediated by dilation effects of nitric oxide

MAX: increases because of

  • larger maximal cardiac output
  • distribution of blood from non active areas (reduced SNS outflow to non-mandatory tissues)
  • enlargement of CSA of vessels
32
Q

aerobic training increases coronary blood flow. why ?

A

1) improvement in myocardial vascularization, like increase in arterial CSA, growth, capillary density
2) effective control of vascular resistance and blood distribution within the myocardium

33
Q

what effect does regular aerobic training have on BP in rest and submax exercise ?

A

both SBP and DBP decrease

especially SBP in hypertensive ppl

34
Q

how does breathing strategy change with training ?

A

breathing strategy which minimizes respiratory work at a given intensity

35
Q

in MAXIMAL activity, how does ventilation change ?

A

increases due to increased tidal volume and breathing rate because maximal O2 consumption increases and therefore raises the body’s oxygen requirement

36
Q

in SUBMAX activity, how does ventilation change ?

A

reduces Ve/Vo2 (ventilatory equivalent) and lowers oxygen cost for breathing, which enhances exercise endurance since it reduces the fatiguing of ventilatory musculature and oxygen becomes freer to be used for active muscles

37
Q

how do blood lactate levels change with endurance training ?

A

they are lowered which extends exercise duration before OBLA

38
Q

what are the 4 factors that affect aerobic training response ?

A

1) initial level
2) intensity
3) frequency
4) duration

39
Q

how does the magnitude of training response depend on initial fitness level ?

A

ceiling effect

40
Q

how does training response depend on training intensity ?

A

depends on intensity of overload

41
Q

at what HRmax percentage will aerobic capacity improve ?

A

between 55-70% HRmax

around 40-55% HRmax for lower body exercise

42
Q

how does HRmax for swimming (upper body) compare to HRmax for running ? why ? (3 reasons)

A

swimming will have an HRmax that’s 13 bpm lower
due to
- less stimulation from motor cortex to medulla
- less feedback stimulation from smaller muscle mass
- the horizontal body position

43
Q

what kind of consequences are there from training at or slightly above the lactate threshold ?

A

produces benefits

44
Q

how is %HRmax different from lactate threshold ?

A

%HRmax establishes a level of stress to overload central circulation

lactate threshold reflects capability of peripheral vasculature and active muscles to sustain steady rate aerobic metabolism

45
Q

how is exercise mode important for training adaptation ?

A

training has to be specific- ppl on bike will show greater improvement when tested on bike.

46
Q

how much time needed to see improvements in aerobic fitness ?

A

several weeks (linear relationship between training duration and VO2max)

47
Q

what are the limits for developing fitness capacity closely relate to ? for which fitness types ?

A

genes

for maximal aerobic, anaerobic, especially adaptations of muscle enzymes

48
Q

what are the two factors to take into consideration for proper aerobic training overload ?

A
  • must be intense enough to increase SV and CO

- must occur from activation of sport-specific muscle groups in order to enhance local circulation

49
Q

what are the advantages of 10 s exercise bouts in interval training ?

A

they permit completion of intense exercise without appreciable lactate buildup since you’re relying on PCr for energy source

50
Q

what is continuous training ? what are its advantages ?

A

steady-paced, prolonged exercise at moderate or high intensity, 60-80% VO2 max
suits novices who wish to accumulate a large caloric expenditure, and allows endurance athletes to exsercise at nearly the same intensity as actual competition

51
Q

what is the advantage of Fartlek training ?

A

alternate running at fast and slow speeds over different terrain, can overload all three energy systems. adds freedom and variety to workouts.

52
Q

what is the sympathetic form of overtraining ?

A

less common

increases SNS during rest

53
Q

what is the parasympathetic form of overtraining ?

A

more common

induces more fatigue

54
