Factors improving performance Flashcards
Types of training
Flexibility, aerobic, strength
What is aerobic training
increase of the ability of the body to deliver and use oxygen
What is continuous training
Is no less then 20min, at or close to anaerobic threshold, effort without rest, used by endurance athletes, 70% MHR
examples. = cycling, swimming, running
Energy systems
ATP/PC
Lactic acid
Aerobic
ATP\PC source of fuel
Creatine phosphate
Efficiency of ATP/PC production
The supply of ATP is very limited if the demand is high as a result of sustained, maximal or near maximal work. This system is for short explosive movements
E.g. Weightlifting
ATP/PC cause of fatigue
CP supplies are exhausted after 10-25 seconds
Cause of fatigue is maximal or near maximal effort, the inability to resynthesize
ATPC/PC rate of recovery
Recovers quickly from exercise
Within 2min, most ATP and CP supplies have been fully restored
CP replenishment occurs within 30sec of rest recovery
Lactic acid system
Following 10-12 secs maximal exercise, CP supplies are exhausted
The body needs to find new fuel and does this by using immediate sugar supplies circulating the blood
(Blood sugar)
Lactic acid source of fuel
Carbs - exist in the form of glucose in the blood
Carbs can be found in the form of glycogen
Lactic acid - efficiency of ATP production
Provides ATP quickly
Requires large quantities of glucose
Duration of lactic system
Maximal effort caused fatigue I’m 30secs
An effort of 70-80% will not cause exhaustion for 3-4 min and much longer for moderate intensity
Lactic acid cause of fatigue
When acid levels build up in the muscle cells
Lactic acid system rate of recovery
In the liver lactic acid is reconverted to glycogen and can once again be used as a source of fuel, this process can take up to 30min to an hour
Aerobic system
Physical activity lasting more then a few minutes requires the presence of oxygen to ensure the continuation of muscular contraction.
Aerobic system source of fuel
The aerobic system can use carbs, glucose, fat and protein
When carbs and glucose become exhausted the body turns to its fat supplies
Physiological adaptations
Running = resting heart rate Swiftly = stroke vol & cardiac output Only = oxygen uptake & lung capacity Hurts = haemoglobin levels My = muscle hypertrophy Feet = effect on fast\slow twitch muscle fibres
Aerobic system cause of fatigue
The transfer from glycogen to fat supplies is referred to as “hitting the wall”
Aerobic rate of recovery
This system recovers quickly, it takes hours for the glycogen stores to become exhausted
Aerobic system by-products of energy production
Oxygen is required to burn the fuels in the body (carbs & fat)
Aerobic system - duration
350g of glycogen is sufficient for 12hrs rest or 1hr of hard work
Types of flexibility training
Static
Ballistic
Pnf
Dynamic
Types of strength training
Resistance
Elastic
Hydraulic
Principles of training
Viagra - variety Was - warm up/cool down The - training thresholds Real - reversibility Penis - progressive overload Saver - specificity
Resting heart rate
The number of heart beats per minute while the body is at rest
