Core 2 Factors Affecting Performance Flashcards
ATP/PC system - how efficient?
Very efficient - rapidly available and does not require oxygen.
ATP/PC system - what is the duration?
2 seconds of ATP and 10 seconds of CP
ATP/PC system - what is the cause of fatigue?
Depletion of fuel - resynthesises does not occur (ADP into ATP.)
ATP/PC system - what is the by product?
Heat due to muscular contractions
ATP/PC system - what is the rate of recovery?
Within 2 minutes, 50% CP IS replenished in first 30 secs. No longer than 4 minutes.
ATP/PC system - examples
Jumpers, lifters, throwers
Lactic acid system - source of fuel
Carbohydrates, broken down into glucose stored as glycogen.
Lactic acid system - efficiency
Very efficient
Lactic acid system - the duration
Effected by intensity, 30 secs at 95% or as long as over 3 minutes.
Lactic acid system - cause of fatigue
OBLA (onset of blood lactate accumulation), build up of lactic acid.
Lactic acid system - rate of recovery
20 minutes to 2 hours to remove lactate from blood.
Lactic acid system - by product
Pyruvic acid. In absence of oxygen forms lactate and hydrogen ions. Used by cells, 65% into CO2 and H2O, 20% into glycogen, 10% protein and 5% glucose
Lactic acid system - examples
400m sprint, 100m freestyle
Aerobic system - source of fuel
Glucose (carbs), free fatty acids, protein in extreme cases.
Aerobic system - efficiency
Efficient and endless at low intensity.
Aerobic system - duration
From 2-3 minutes after fatigue of LA system up to days.
Aerobic system - cause of fatigue
Depletion of glucose, possible respiratory or circulatory problems.
Aerobic system - by product
CO2 exhaled, H2O perspires.
Aerobic system - rate of recovery
Correlation between intensity and recovery
Aerobic system - examples
Marathon, triathlon
What are the principles of training?
Progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds, warm up and cool down
What is progressive overload ?
Gradually increasing the load that your body is working against. Achieved by altering intensity of session, the bio like of the session and the frequency of training.
