Lecture 13 - Adaptation with Anaerobic Training

Question 1

how do we test changes in anaerobic power and capacity

Answer 1

• Wingate anaerobic tests closest to gold standard for ANA power test
• ANA power and capacity will increase with training

Question 2

anaerobic adaptations in the muscle

Answer 2

• increases in type 2a, 2x cross sectional area
• increase in type 1 cross sectional area (lesser extent)
• decrease percent of type 1 fibres, increase percent of type 2

Question 3

anaerobic adaptations to the ATP-PCr system

Answer 3

• little enzymatic change with training
• ATP-PCr system-specific training leads to increases in strength

Question 4

anaerobic adaptations to the glycolytic system

Answer 4

• increase in key glycolytic enzyme activity with training (phosphorylase, PFK, LDH, hexokinase)
• however, performance gains from increase in strength

Question 5

hormonal adaptations we see with HITT

Answer 5

mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase (COX) increases the same after HIT vs traditional moderate-intensity endurance training

Question 6

HITT

Answer 6

time efficient way to induce any adaptations normally associated with endurance training

Question 7

adaptations we see regarding the specificity of training and cross-training

Answer 7

• VO2max substantially higher in athletes sport specific actitivy
• likely due to individual muscle group adaptations

Question 8

what is cross training and what are its benefits

Answer 8

training different fitness components at once OR training for more than one sport at once
- strength benefits blunted by endurance training
- endurance benefits not blunted by strength training
