FAP CQ1 - How does training affect performance? Flashcards
Students learn about (energy systems):
- Alactacid system (ATP/PC)
- Lactic Acid system
- Aerobic system
Students learn to (energy systems):
Analyse each energy system by exploring:
- Source of fuel
- Efficiency of ATP production
- Duration that the system can operate
- Cause of fatigue
- By-products of energy production
- Process and rate of recovery
Alactacid Acid system (ATP/PC):
- Source of fuel:
- Efficiency of ATP production:
- Duration:
- Cause of fatigue:
- By-products:
- Recovery process
- Rate of recovery:
- Sporting examples:
- Creatine phosphate.
- Very quick, but very limited (1 ATP molecule - MOST EFFICIENT).
- 10-15 seconds (1-2 seconds = ATP + 10-12 seconds with PC).
- Limited stores of ATP & PC.
- Heat.
- PC replenishes in the absence of oxygen.
- 30 seconds - 2 minutes (at rest).
- 100m sprint, shot put, discus, javelin, long jump, high jump.
Lactic Acid system:
- Source of fuel:
- Efficiency of ATP production:
- Duration:
- Cause of fatigue:
- By-products:
- Recovery process
- Rate of recovery:
- Sporting examples:
- Carbohydrates (glucose & glycogen).
- Quick, but rapid fatigue as lactic acid increases (2 ATP molecules).
- 30-60 seconds.
- Accumulation of the lactic acid.
- Lactic acid and pyruvic acid (lactic acid is broken down).
- Lactic acid is broken down in the ABSENCE of oxygen.
- 20 minutes - 2 hours (longer exercise = longer recovery to break down lactic acid). –>
- 200m sprints, 800m run (partial), 100m freestyle (professional; sub 50 seconds).
Aerobic system:
- Source of fuel:
- Efficiency of ATP production:
- Duration:
- Cause of fatigue:
- By-products:
- Recovery process
- Rate of recovery:
- Sporting examples:
- Carbs and fats (protein; rarely - only when the fat stores are exhausted).
- Slower, but endless supply (glucose = 36 ATP molecules, Fats = 136 ATP molecules).
- Unlimited (until nutrients run out –> death).
- Depletion of carbs, fats and protein stores.
- Carbon dioxide and water/sweat,
- Replenishment of nutrient stores through diet and in the PRESENCE of oxygen.
- Up to 48 hours (depending on the level of depletion).
- Marathon, triathlon, 1.5km swim, soccer.
Students learn about (types of training and training methods):
- Aerobic (e.g continuous, Fartlek, aerobic interval, circuit)
- Anaerobic (e.g anaerobic interval).
- Flexibility (e.g static, ballistic, PNF, dynamic).
- Strength training (e.g free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic).
Students learn to (types of training and training methods):
Assess the relevance of the types of training and training methods for a variety of sports by asking questions such as:
- Which types of training are best suited to different sports?
- Which training method(s) would be most appropriate? Why?
- How would this training affect performance?
Define ‘CONTINUOUS’ Aerobic training + example?
Sustained activity of steady intensity for +20 minutes.
Example: 10km jog
Define ‘FARTLEK’ Aerobic training + example?
‘Speed play’; continuous but vary speed throughout.
Example: 30 second sprint, 2 min jog, 30 second sprint
Define ‘AEROBIC INTERVAL’ Aerobic training + example?
Alternating periods of work and short recovery.
Example: 400m run, 30 second rest, 3 sets
Define ‘CIRCUIT’ Aerobic training + example?
Succession of specified exercises.
Example: triathlon
What is the aerobic work-to-rest ratio?
3:1 (longer work : less rest)
What is the anaerobic work-to-rest ratio?
1:6 or 1:12 (Fewer work : longer rest)
Define ‘ANAEROBIC INTERVAL’ training + example?
High intensity, less recovery or at least 2 minutes of rest.
Example: 100m sprint, 2-minute rest, 10 sets
What training zone do aerobic athletes train in to optimise their performance?
Anaerobic zone (85% - 100% MHR) to increase intensity.
What is the aerobic threshold?
60% of MHR
What is the aerobic training zone?
60-85% of MHR
What is the anaerobic threshold?
85% of MHR
What is the anaerobic training zone?
85% - 100% of MHR
Define ‘FLEXIBILITY’?
The range of motion (ROM) of a joint or group of joints.
