Chapter 20: program design and technique for aerobic endurance training Flashcards
this type of training can help endurance athletes who already poses a high VO2max by improving peak power output, ventilator threshold, hydrogen ion buffering, and utilization of fat as a fuel source
HIIT
the speed of movement or percentage of VO2max at which a specific blood lactate concentration is observed or the point at which blood lactate concentration begins to increase above resting levels
lactate threshold
this may be a better indicator of aerobic endurance that VO2max
lactate threshold
the exercise intensity at which maximal lactate production is equal to maximal lactate clearance within the body
maximal lactate steady state
considered to be a better indicator of aerobic endurance than both VO2max and LT
maximal lactate steady state
a measure of the energy cost of activity at a given exercise velocity
exercise economy
endurance athletes have an optimal exercise economy if their stride length, and frequency are this
slightly shorter, and greater frequency
exercise economy in cycling is affected by these 3 variables
body mass size, cycling velocity, and aerodynamic positioning
an improvement in exercise economy can have this affect
enhanced VO2max and lactate threshold
5 factors in order 1-5 for designing an aerobic training program
mode frequency intensity duration progression
T/F: training twice a day, every other day was more effective at increasing glycogen stores than training every other day
True
increasing intensity of training could have this effect
more T2 fibers are recruited to causing them to become more aerobic
HR is closely related to VO2max in this intensity range
50-90%
functional capacity is also known as
heart rate reserve
HRR formula
max HR - resting HR
How to us the karvonen method
find age predicted MHR
find the HRR
Find the target heart rate (THR)
target HR formula (karvonen)
(HRR x exercise intensity) + RHR
how to use the maximal heart rate method
find APMHR
find THR
how to find THR for the maximal heart rate method
(APMHR x exercise intensity)
The NSCA uses this number scale for RPE

one MET is = to
3.5 ml/kg/min
cycling can use special equipment to do this following
find the power output to judge intensity
the duration of a training session is often influenced by this
intensity
research shows that aerobic fitness doesn’t decrease for up to 5 weeks when this occurs
intensity of training is maintained and frequency decreases to as few as two times per week
frequency, intensity or duration should not increase more than this much each week

how many active rest days are recommended each week at minimum

Types of aerobic endurance training (frequency per week, duration, intensity): long, slow distance (LSD)
1-2
race distance or longer
~70%vo2max, ~80%MHR
Types of aerobic endurance training (frequency per week, duration, intensity): pace/tempo
1-2
20-30 min
at lactate threshold: at or slightly above race pace
Types of aerobic endurance training (frequency per week, duration, intensity): Interval
1-2
3-5 min (1:1, W:R ratio)
close to VO2max
Types of aerobic endurance training (frequency per week, duration, intensity): High-intensity interval training
1
30-90 seconds (1:5, W:R ratio)
greater than VO2max
Types of aerobic endurance training (frequency per week, duration, intensity): Fartlek

~20-60 min
varies between LSD and Pace/tempo training intensities
during LSD the athlete should be able to do this without undue stress
