Factors affecting performance Flashcards
What are the three energy systems?
Alactic acid system (ATP)
Lactic acid system
Aerobic system
What is the acronym for the energy systems?
So energy does feed big rangas Source of fuel Efficiency of ATP Duration Fatigue By products Recovery
What are all the main points of the alactic acid system (ATP-PC)
Source of fuel- phosphocreatine Efficiency of ATP- very quick/very limited Duration- High intensity 95-100% Fatigue- 8-10 seconds By products- Nil Recovery- 50% in 30 sec
What are the main points of the lactic acid system?
S- Glucose in the blood, carbs for the muscles and liver E- Limited D- Relatively high intensity 70-95% F- 30 sec- 3 mins B- Lactic acid R- 20 mins - 2 hrs
What are the main points of the aerobic system?
S- Glucose for the blood, carbs, fats and occasionally protein
E- Slow production but endless supply
D- Endless supply at low-mod intensity, below 70%
F- “ “
B- carbon dioxide and water
R- Up to 48 hrs.
What is the acronym for aerobic training?
FACC Fartlek Aerobic interval Continuous Circuit training
What are some key points about Fartlek training?
- Also known as speed play
- Is performed over alternate terrain
- Has continuous efforts interspersed with high intensity bounts
- Bursts of high intensity usually last 5-10 seconds every 2-3 mins
What are some key points about Aerobic Interval training?
- Involves periods of rest and recovery interspersed with periods of exercise and work.
- Major variable are intensity and duration.
- For this to be in the aerobic threshold the athlete must near there max VO2 but not cause fatigue.
- (70-95% MHR)
What are some key points about Continuous training?
- Heart rate must be elevated and maintained.
- May not be sport specific
- Should be performed for a minimum of 20 mins although recommendations are for 30 mins - 2 hrs.
What are some key points about Circuit training?
- Usually includes 6-10 strength type exercises
- Allows athlete to work on many different muscle groups
- Can be highly sport specific
- Involves fix circuits (resistance and reps are set, the adv to this is that the athlete can record time and work on improving it)
- Involves Individual resistance circuits (Athletes can work at their own pace.)
What is static stretching?
Static stretching - gradual lengthening of a muscle to a certain point where it is held for 10-30 seconds
What is ballistic stretching?
Also known as the bounce stretch, places great pressure on the muscle fibers thus it has been deemed as dangerous.
What is PNF stretching?
Involves a static stretch, and isomeric contraction followed by another static stretch.
What is a dynamic stretch?
Stretches muscles over cross joints.
What strength training involve?
Hydraulics- remove the force of gravity in that the user needs to work through full ROM.
Elastics- Also known as resistance training. Used for the development of strength and power. Portable, easy to use, effective, cheap.
Free/fixed weights- Free weights do not constrain user to specifics individuals required to put in more effort.
