FAP: How does training affect performance? Flashcards
Factors Affecting Performance
what are the three main energy systems
alactacid or ATP/PC
lactic
aerobic
what form does the body require energy to be
adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)
what is the ATP/PC systems source of fuel
ATP that is immediately available within the muscle, which reacted with creatine phosphate (CP)
what is the efficiency of ATP production
not very efficient, as it has a very limited store of fuel.
it quickly runs out
what is the duration of the ATP/PC system
8-12 seconds
what is the cause of fatigue when using the ATP/PC system
the depletion of fuel
what are the byproducts of the ATP/PC system
heat
how long does it take for the ATP/PC system to recover
2 minutes
what are examples of events using the ATP/PC system
100m sprints, Powerlifting, or throwing events such as the Javelin, Shot Put, or Discus throw
what is the lactic acid systems source of fuel
carbohydrates
what does the lactic acid system rely on for production of adenosine triphosphate
anaerobic glycosis
what is the lactic acid systems efficiency
produces ATP at a fast rate, with high quantities
how long can the lactic acid system last for
30seconds-3mins depending on intensity.
what is the lactic acid systems cause of fatigue
build up of pyruvic acid in the muscle
without oxygen, the body converts pyruvic acid into lactate
what is a by product of the lactic acid energy system
pyruvic acid
how long does it take for the lactic acid system to recover
30 min-1 hr
what events would use the lactic acid system
200m or 400m run, or 50m and 100m swim
are the lactic acid and ATP/PC energy systems anaerobic or aerobic
anaerobic
what is the aerobic energy systems source of fuel
it uses carbohydrates first, then fat, then protein as a last resort
how efficient is the aerobic system
very efficient, producing 38 ATP molecules per glucose
rate of production is medium
how long can the aerobic system last
technically it is limitless, as long as fuel sources are available
however, muscle glycogen depletes after an hr of exercise
what is the aerobic systems cause of fatigue
fatigue occurs after the carbohydrate stores have depleted
what are the byproducts of the aerobic system
water, carbon dioxide
the water can build up in the muscle and cause stiffness
how long is the rate of recovery for the aerobic system
12-24 hrs
when is the aerobic system used
netball, soccer, rugby, and AFL
1500m swimming, marathon running, cycling, triathlons, tennis and iron mans.
what are the different types of training and training methods
aerobic
anaerobic
flexibility
strength training
what comes under aerobic training
continuous
fartlek
aerobic interva
circuit
what comes under anaerobic training
anaerobic interval
what comes under flexibility training
static
ballistic
PNF
dynamic
what comes under strength trainign
free/fixed weights
elastic
hydraulic
what does aerobic training target and improve
targets aerobic energy system and cardiovascular system
improves the delivery of oxygen to the muscles
how often should aerobic training be done
3 times a week
at what intensity should aerobic training be done
70-80% of MHR
how long does aerobic training go for typically
30 min
what specific sports is aerobic training suited to
marathons, triathlons, long distance cycling such as the Tour de France, Iron Man events, cross-country skiing, and Australian Rules Football.
what is continuous/uniform training
when the athlete performs the same activity at the same intensity for a specified duration of time, such as 30 min.
what are examples of continuous training
going for a run at a set speed on a flat track, or riding an exercise bike at a set intensity.
what is continuous training best suited for
sports where the intensity doesnt change often, and and the same activity is repeated throughout the competition
what sports would continuous be beneficial for
long distance rowing, marathon running, long distance swimming, and long distance indoor cycling because it more closely replicates the sport (specificity).
what is fartlek training
when the athlete participates in a singular activity with random varying intensities.
what type of sport is fartlek training best suited to
sports that have frequent random changes in intensity.
what sports would fartlek training be suited to
soccer, Australian Rules Football, cross-country running, outdoor long distance cycling, and grass hockey because it more closely replicates the sport (specificity).
what is aerobic/long interval training
single activity with specified changes in intensity at specific times or lengths within the session.
what type of sports is aerobic interval training best suited to
best suited for sports where there are extended periods of work, followed by a form of rest before further exertion is required.
