Chronic Adaptations Flashcards
Aerobic training//Cardiovascular adaptions - heart (6)
- ventricle size increase
- Stroke volume increase
- cardiac output increase
- rest and sub-max heart rates decrease
- steady state heart rate decrease
- recovery heart rates decrease
Aerobic training//Cardiovascular adaptions – blood (6)
- Blood volume T
- Haemoglobin T
- Plasma volumes T
- Myoglobin T
- RBC count T
- Blood Pressure t
Aerobic training//Cardiovascular adaptions – blood vessels (3)
- capillary density to heart muscle T
- blood flow (20%) away from organs to working muscles T
- capillary density at muscles: SIT fibres. T
Aerobic training//Cardiovascular adaptions – blood lactate (1)
Concentration decreases with aerobic training and clearance rate increases allowing lactate inflection point to increase
Aerobic training//Respiratory adaptions (9)
T lung/ vital capacity T ventilation T aerobic capacity T O2 cost to ventilatory muscles (intercostal and diaphragm) T tidal volume t Ventilatory efficiency T alveolar- capillary SA t ventilation T pulmonary diffusion
Aerobic training//muscular endurance (8)
T oxidative enzymes T Arteriovenous Oz difference T myoglobin content T Triglyceride stores T mitochondria size, number and SA T oxidation of fats T capillary density T muscle glycogen stores & oxidization of glycogen.
Anaerobic training//fast twitch fibre adaptions (5)
T ATP and PC stores -> T capacity of the ATP-Pc system.
T glycogen stores -> T utilisation of glycogen as a feal source
T glycotic enzymes -> T rate of ATP release from glycogen.
T ATPase -> T ATP breakdown and resynthesis
T tolerance of metabolic by-products -> T ability to continue working at high intensities.
Anaerobic training//muscular adaptions//hypertrophy (3)
increased FIT fibre size (hypertrophy)
- T myo fibrils size & no.
- T contractile proteins
- T size and strength of tendons & ligaments
Anaerobic training/muscular adaptions//neural adaptions from strength training(4)
T motor unit recruitment -> T force of contraction
T rate of motor-unit activation -> T rate of force development
T recruitment of fast-twitch fibres ->T rate of force development & T time for Max force to be maintained
T motor unit co-ordination -> T force + efficiency & effectiveness of force application.
What is the definition of chronic adaption?
Chronic adaptions to training are the physiological changes that occur in response to the increased demands placed on the body through training
Chronic adaptations as a result of aerobic training summary
Improve efficiency of the aerobic energy system
Provide energy to working muscles and removes waste products
Improves the ability of the body to take up transport and use oxygen (essentially oxygen consumption)
Influence by aerobic fitness levels, training intensity, frequency and duration
What are the primary functions of cardiovascular aerobic adaptions?
To increase oxygen delivery to the working muscles
What is hypertrophy?
An increase in the heart mass and volume
Characterised by size of left ventricle cavity, and sometimes thickening of ventricle walls
Provides a greatest change in left ventricle capacity
What is Bradycardia
A decreased heart rate
Easy and accurate measure of increase cardiovascular efficiency
Submaximal heart rates are lower, stroke volume is increased
What attributes to an increase in stroke volume
Increase left ventricle volume and mass
Reduce cardiac and arterial stiffness
increased diastolic filling time
Increased cardiac contractility
