23
Q

Respiratory chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training

Functional adaptations

A

Increased ventilation, increase in tidal volume and breathing frequency = increase max ventilation, increase oxygen requirements, increased max oxygen consumption.

24
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of aerobic training

Muscle structure

A

Increased aerobic capacity of slow twitch fibres, increase size of slow twitch fibres (STF are closely associated with increased capillary density surrounding the fibres

25
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of aerobic training

A-vO2 diff

A

Increase in the amount of oxygen extracted from the blood by the muscles(increase a-vo2 diff)

Increased size of slow twitch fibres is due to capillarisation of the fibre which increases diffusion of O2 and CO2

26
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of aerobic training

Myoglobin and mitochondria

A

Increase myoglobin content in STF, increased mitochondria size number and surface area, enhancing the capacity of the muscle to produce ATP

27
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of aerobic training

Oxidation of fats

A

Increased oxidation of free fatty acids.
During sub max exercise: endurance athletes are able to oxidise fatty acids more readily which is beneficial because they can use glycogen sparing.

28
Q

Factors that increase the ability of the muscles to oxidise fats are

A

Increase in intramuscular triglycerides, increase in free fatty acids and increase in oxidative enzymes

29
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of aerobic training

Oxidation of glycogen

A

Increase the ability of the skeletal muscle to oxidise glycogen

30
Q

Adaptations that cause an increase in the energy generating capacity of the muscles are

A

Increase in mitochondria size number and surface area. Increase in enzyme activity and increase in muscle glycogen stores

31
Q

Cardiovascular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training

A

Increase Thickness of left ventricle wall, slight increase of systolic function of the left ventricle (eject blood more forcefully).

32
Q

Cardiovascular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training
Rest and sub max

A

Anaerobically trained athletes usually have a lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest and sub max workloads compared to untrained individuals

33
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training

A

Increase capacity of the ATP PC system and the anaerobic glycolysis system, increase ATPase activity, increased glycolytic capacity, increase in the muscular store of ATP, PC and glycogen

34
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training

Changes that occur to the skeletal muscle

A

Increase in energy substrate levels, increase enzyme activity, increase glycolytic capacity (these occur in both twitch fibres)

35
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training

Increase fuel stores allow for

A

Improved performance in events that require high power output

36
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of anaerobic training

Increased glycolytic capacity

A

Increase in glycolytic enzymes and glycogen stores = the rate which glycogen can be broken down into lactic acid is increased

37
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of resistance training

40
Q

Hypertrophy

A

Increase muscle size, increase cross sectional areas of the muscle, increase In Contractile proteins, connective tissue will thicken

42
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of resistance training
Hypertrophy

Increased muscle size results in one or more of these changes

A

Increased number and size of myofibrils, increased contractile proteins and increase in size and strength of connective tissue

43
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of resistance training
Hypertrophy

Increase cross sectional areas of the muscle

A

Is a result of increase number and size of myofibrils.

44
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of resistance training
Hypertrophy

An increase in contractile proteins

A

Increase the contractile capacity of the muscle

45
Q

Muscular adaptations as a result of resistance training
Hypertrophy

Connective tissue will strengthen and thicken

A

Increase in tendon thickness which assists in force production

46
Q

VO2 max

A

The maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken up, transported and utilised per minute. Measured in ml of oxygen/kg of body weight/ minute. Eg 15ml/kg/min

47
Q

Absolute vo2 max

A

Doesn’t consider body weight

48
Q

Relative vo2 max

A

Considers body weight

49
Q

Haemoglobin

A

Oxygen carrying compound found in red blood cells

50
Q

Mitochondria

A

Part of a cell, the site of aerobic respiration in muscles. It’s role is to produce ATP

51
Q

Myoglobin

A

Oxygen carrying pigment found in muscle cells

52
Q

What is glycogen sparing

A

Allows fats to be used more readily and earlier during performances

53
Q

How does glycogen sparing occur

A

It results in less use of the anaerobic glycolysis system and allows glycogen to be used later in performances

54
Q

Adaptations that increase LIP

A

The mitochondria size, number and surface area increases which increases the capability to oxidise food fuels resulting in an athlete working at higher intensities for longer periods of time before reaching their LIP

55
Q

How one adaptation can cause an increase or decrease in another

A

At rest: the decrease of heart rate and increase of stroke volume results in cardiac output to remain unchanged
