Q

LSD changes these fiber types to this

A

Type 2x to type 1

35
Q

the purpose of this type of training is to stress the athlete at a specific intensity and improve energy production from both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism

A

pace/tempo training

36
Q

if pace/tempo training seems easy to the athlete then this should be done to the program

A

increase duration, not intensity

37
Q

this type of training protocol improves running economy and increased lactate threshold

A

pace/tempo

38
Q

benefits of interval training 2

A

increased VO2max

enhanced anaerobic metabolism

39
Q

the word Fartlek means this in swedish

A

40
Q

this type of training is likely to enhance VO2max, increase lactate threshold, and improve running economay and fuel utilization

A

41
Q

the priority of this portion of training is to develop a base of cardiorespiratory fitness

A

off-season

42
Q

inititally this training season should start with long-duration, and low intensity workouts, and increase in intensity and duration as the season progresses

A

off-season

43
Q

duration should not be incrased for than this percent range from one week to the next

A

5-10%

44
Q

during this season the athlete should focus on increasing intensity, maintaining or reduing duration, and incorporating all types of training into the program

A

preseason

45
Q

this season needs to be designed to include competition or race days in the training schedule

A

in-season

46
Q

these types of workout should be programed before a competition during the in-season

during this season the main focus should be on recovering from the previous competitive season, slow training duration and intensity are typical of this time

A

postseason
