Q

12.1 - Chronic adapatations to training

Chronic training adaptations

A

The body’s long-term responses of the cardiovascular, respiratory & muscular systems that develop over a periof of time when training is repeated regularly
- training should occur over an extended period - 3x a week for minimum 6-8 weeks
- adaptations occus when the body responds through making specific changes to cope w demands of exercise
- retainined unless training ceases - body gradually reverts to pre-training levels (reversibility or detraining)
- dependent on:
- type & method undertaken: type of adaptations depend on & are specific to the type of training - if the training is aerobic, anaerobic or resistance (SAID principle - Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands)
- frequency, duration/time & intensity: the greater these are, the more pronounced the adaptations. diminishing returns & overtraining need to be considered
- individual capacities & herediatry factors: VO2max, muscle-fibre type distribution

Q

12.1 - Chronic adapatations to training

Chronic adaptations to aerobic training

Economy

A

Economy: describes the quantity of O2 (mL/kg/min) required to generate movement at any given speed or intensity
- O2 delivery effectiveness is the most significant factor
- O2 delivery depends on:
- lungs ability to ventilate large volumes of O2
- bloods ability to exchange O2 at the lungs
- hearts ability to pump large quantites of blood to muscles
- muscles ability to extract O2 from blood (myoglobin)
- muscles ability to use O2 to breakdown fuel for ATP production

Increased O2 utilisation

mitochondria & myoglobin

A
  • enhances the body’s ability to attract O2 into muscle cells for ATP resynthesis
  • more O2 initially surrounds muscle through increase capillarisation - mitochondria & myoglobin utilise it for ATP resynthesis
    Mitochondria: cell structures in which oxidative ATP resynthesis takes place
    Myoglobin: an O2 binding protein in skeletal muscle cells that attracts O2 from the bloodstream & shuttles it to the mitochondria in the muscles for aerobic energy production
25
Q

12.4 - Chronic adaptations to aerobic training: muscular

Increased O2 utilisation

Increased mitochondria size & number, increased myoglobin stores

A
  • process occurs in the following ways:
    • increased mitochondria size & number: sites for aerobic ATP resynthesis & where glycogen/triglyceride stores are oxidised. The greater the number/size the greater the oxidisation of fuels to aerobically produce ATP
    • increased myoglobin stores: increases in myoglobin content increase ability to extract and delvier O2 to the mitochondria
26
Q

12.4 - Chronic adaptations to aerobic training: muscular

Increased a-VO2 diff

A

a-VO2 diff: a measure of the difference in the concentration of O2 in the arterial blood and the concentration of O2 in the venous blood, measured in mL O2/100mL of blood

- due to increased mitochondria number/size & myoglobin stores

27
Q

12.4 - Chronic adaptations to aerobic training: muscular

Increased muscular fuel stores & oxidative enzymes

A

Oxidative enzymes: enzymes that, w/ the use of O2, speed up the breakdown of nutrients to resynthesise ATP
- increases muscular storage of glycogen/triglycerides in slow-twitch muscle fibres & ozidarive enzymes responsible for metabolising these
- decreases relience on anaerobic glycolysis until higher intensitis

28
Q

12.4 - Chronic adaptations to aerobic training: muscular

Increased oxidation of glucose & triglycerides

A
  • other muscular adaptations result in an increase int he capacity of muscular fibres to oxidise glucose & triglycerides
  • capacity of aerobic system to metabolise fuels is increased
  • increased oxidation of fats as fuel at any intensity means there is less reliance of glycogen - due to increased triglyceride storgae & enxymes involved in their metabolism
    Glycogen sparing: the process whereby glycogen stores are not used as early in an exercise bout due to the increased ability to use triglycerides to produce energy. this delays the depletion of these stores, and thereby delays the tome to exhaustion due to glycogen depletion
  • allows sustainability of a higher intensity
29
Q

12.4 - Chronic adaptations to aerobic training: muscular

  • tyoe 2 show greater increases in size - particularly w/ higher loads
    size principle: the principle by which motor units are recruited in order of their size from smallest to largest
  • suggests all motor unit types would be recruited for heavy loads & therefore a greater involvement of type 2 fibres
48
Q

12.7 - Chronic adaptations to resistance training: neuromuscular

neural control

A
  • in absence of hypertrophy neural adaptations play a critical role in increased forve production
  • increased synchronisation & recruitment of motor unit increases firing rate & reduces inhibitory signals - contributes to strength gains
49
Q

12.7 - Chronic adaptations to resistance training: neuromuscular
