Chapter 20: Training for Performance Flashcards
Overload
Increased capacity of a system in response to
training above the level to which it is accustomed
* Too much training leads to overtraining
Specificity
Training effect is specific to:
* Muscles involved
* Energy system involved (aerobic vs. anaerobic)
Reversibility
- When training is stopped, training effect is quickly lost
Training improvement is always
greater in individuals with
lower initial
fitness
what percent increase of VO2 max in sedentary adults with heart disease?
50%
Vo2 max improvement in normal active subjects
10-20%
Vo2 max improvement in trained athletes
3-5%

Genetics play an important role in how individuals
respond to training
which capacity is more genetically determined? Anaerobic or Aerobic
Anaerobic
Ex) Sprints or Olympic lifts
Training can only improve anaerobic exercise…
to a small degree
Anaerobic exercise is largely dependent on which muscle fibers?
llx
Although many physiological factors contribute to endurance
performance, 3 key elements include:
A high VO2 max;
* Superior exercise economy/efficiency.
* A high lactate threshold and critical power.
Which fibers are determined early in development?

VO2 max training approaches are founded on which key laboratory?
Lactate threshold, Ventilatory threshold, Critical power, Exercise economy
What is Lactate threshold?
incremental intensity test with blood samples for
lactate.
Learn Breakpoint
What is Ventilatory threshold?
ventilatory response to incremental work
produces increased slope
What is Critical power?
a Submaximal power output that can be maintained for
indefinite periods.
What is Exercise economy?
metabolic and mechanical factors influencing
movement economy.
